Likely, but not necessarily! ;-) I started riding road bikes when I was 13. I've always had a flexible back and I like to ride in the drops. My bars are set well below my saddles on my bikes. I don't know if I'm still flexible, at age 68, because I've ridden a lot in the drops, or if I still ride a lot in the drops because I'm flexible.
