How Did I End Up Here? What The ....
I didn't even know this forum existed, yet here it is. I'm 52, getting ready to be 53. I'm a Clyde, etc. Looking forward to participating.

At 64, this place and the people, are some the best means of enabling a cycling addiction, er habit. Been hanging around the place since Jan 2008, kind of like an old bat in a bell tower.

50+? Enjoy it, 'cause pushing 60 is a hell-of-a-lot easier than pulling it! Good riding.

Just turned 58 the other day. Seems like just yesterday I was looking at the 50+ group and couldn't believe I was almost there... Also a Clyde, just not as big a Clyde as I was a couple years ago...

Stay and participate actively.
You will not regret it.
If you can pedal it for 20+ years = that's Classic
And learning to build them from a frameset is soooo personally satisfying, you may enjoy wrenching them.
Or just collecting a few.
Whereupon, your title question may become relevant! Again and again.
