Kind of a common age. Not surprised that many of us are older and that there is such a good mix of folks.

46. I've been commuting for about eight or nine years, with quite a bit of time off for (non-cycling related) knee surgery. Now, with a knee replacement, I'm riding better than ever.

Started commuting to my job by bicycle as a stockboy at the A&P in 1970 at age 16 and have commuted by bike to every job I've had since.

26. Been commuting to school since late March last year, I think it was. Maybe April.
And obviously, this is my first winter commuting. Love it so far!
Unfortunately, I only have lectures about once a week now.

45. Been riding to work when I can since last summer. I usually end up dropping off my kids at school in the morning, then getting my bike at lunch.

Kurzweil, what part of Decatur do you ride from?
I live near North DeKalb Mall and ride through Emory to the Virginia-Highland area.
