Young people don't post in forums. They use facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest, and all the others.
Although I'm almost old, I actually get most of my cycling information from facebook these days ... my newsfeed is full of stories about the latest bicycles, cycling events, what the pros are doing, etc. etc. etc.

Young people have to work hard in their shared cubes. So we old people can read and post in forums in our private office.

An indispensable font is Helvetica or other sans serif.

Tacoma, you're soaking in it.
Hmm, the type font list isn't scrolling any.

.... I meant 50. I'll be turning 50 this coming March.
30 is still really young!

Almost 34, and like others mention, having a family makes it very tough to ride. Thankfully, I ride my bike to work most days.

30-35. Most other cyclists I see out on the road are either much younger or much older. Every one of them can kick my butt- I suck at this sport, but it is fun.

At 52 I don't like being lumped in with those old, decrepit retired folks at 55+
