Can a 49er visit?
I'll be 49 in a few days. My annual and monthly mileages vary, but I've been hooked on bikes since I was big enough to sneak my older brother's bike out and push it up and down the driveway dreaming I was riding.
I hope no one minds that I hang out once in a while. I'm definitely feeling old and out out of shape, mainly because I'm out of shape
and hope I can glean some good advice here. I enjoy casual recreational riding and commuting mostly, and definitely plan on some s24o touring.

We probably should take a vote.

Figure out what your age would be in metric time.

Being 49 you can visit for only 1 year and after that you officially belong regardless.

Sure, you can visit. Pull up a seat and set a spell, just stay off the lawn.
If you're forty-nine, then you're in your fiftieth year, so that should count for something. Also, in three months you will have been in existence, if only as a fertilized egg, for fifty years.

You aren't officially an old man until you get an invitation in the mail to join the AARP. However, convincing a young salesperson you qualify for the senior discount is also an indicator.
Do you qualify?

Just consider it like strolling through a retirement home. You will belong here eventually.
But, STAY OFF THE LAWN!
