I'm 33, been cycling for almost all of it. I raced BMX as a teen, started working in a bike shop at age 15, got into mtn bikes when the first became popular, picked up a roadie in college, and now I'm back to the mtn bike 90% of the time (roadie the remaining 10%).

I'll be 65 on June 4. But I don't feel 65. I feel 85. (Will Medicare cover the cost of rehab equipment? (i.e.: a new Trek 5900).

My Paramount turns 16 in May and I just turned 55 and know it after a day riding my Scapin MTB. I find that the older I get the better the riding gets. And, I no longer have to apologize for being slow.

I'm 32, married (no kids yet) and going on 11 years old.
I've been cycling at my present level (80 miles commuting per week, and weekend rides when there is time) for about 3 years.

25 here. I commute 8,600 miles a year and ride/train/race another 4,000-6,000 a year. I just bought a new bike in October 
To bad I am to old to try to be a pro cyclist. I am settling to be a pro triathlete before I am 30.

I will be 47 this October, but my brain doesn't want to except that. My body continues to rebel, and it looks like my brain is going to have to surrender.
You know the song, "I ain't what I used to be", its true. Sad

I am 28. MTB'er for many years. Just started road biking in the last few months and it really increased my MTB endurance.
