Every now and then (usually while slogging up what feels like a vertical hill during a torrential downpour) I wonder about my sanity and that fact that I think year-round commuting is a really great idea even though I'm pushing 40. Of course by the time I get to the top of the hill I've come to my senses and I know that if I have my way I'll still be commuting 20 years from now.

So I'm curious. What's the average demographic of people who have embraced bicycle commuting?

I'll start - I'm 39, female (which I kind of suspect puts me in the minority right there) and a year-round, all-weather commuter.
