You can't be old. You know how to use a computer.

There are too many places in this crazy modern world where I don't fit in, though I realy don't have a great desire to so it's O.K.

As long as you can fit into your clothes. Biking helps with that.

What kind of bicycles do old(er) folks ride anyways?

Road bikes, all rather C&V-ish like me. My rideable list contains a Peugeot, a Raleigh, a Bianchi, and a Peugeot tandem. The under-development list contains a Bertin and a Masi.

Nice bike, Brian. Last summer I treated myself to the white version of same. My first new road bike in over 20 years.

Welcome. My bikes are listed below. I like a variety of riding and bikes with long road rides on drop bar road bikes being my top choice. I also like to organize cycling events and cycling advocacy initiatives in my community.

Some here react strongly to being called "old", "old fart", "geezer", "senior" and such. I am not one of those people. I'm a senior old fart and a geezer who lives a more active life than most people half my age. Words don't define me. Call me whatever you like, just be sure to call me when there is a bike ride being planned.

And don't call me late for dinner.

Doesn't look like they post much. Once when they joined and once when they posted this thread.

Actually, OP and I are competing in the Bike Forums Low Post Count Contest. :thumb:

I'm 58, and taught myself to ride on a borrowed Schwinn Pixie. I've been a utility cyclist ever since.

"....prominent social scientist Erik Erikson.......... defines middle adulthood as between 40 and 65."

What's this talk about 'old'? Turning 62 in a couple of weeks and proud to be middle-aged. If I were old, would I have bought a new electric guitar last week? (Answer: Yes)
