I'm 51 and I mainly ride my Ibis Titanium Road, which essentially proves the OP's point.

That being said, I'll pwn 98% of you Freds on my Cervelo S2, if it should ever actually materialize, and if and when it does, you shall all, every single friggin one of you, every Road Nazi, Fred and Weenie here, Rue the Friggin Day.

This cannot be overstated. And even if it can, I'll keep saying it.
