Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

age poll?

has anyone here ever done a survey of road rider ages? I tried to do a search but i couldn't because of the stupid word length limit (the word "age" is too short ) i just don't want to repost something that's already been discussed.

anyways, i want to know what the distribution of rider age is.... around here it seems like everyone that rides is 30+. (I'm 23)

There was an age poll on the forums quite a while ago. I'm too lazy to go looking for it now though.

There was one just previous to this that lumped everyone 55+ into one category - a couple of us did not really appreciate that.

Do a search on "poll" and you will find the other one, also, I would guess.

yup i saw that one... but that's for everyone on the forum. i know that MTBers tend to be younger. So since it hasn't been done before, I'll do a road-specific poll. Here goes...!

58 last week.

Something between 30 and 45 when riding.

I'll be 51 in April. I have 3 kids, ages 25, 20 and 16. I can ride the legs off of any of them. Usually feel about 28 on the bike. Now getting out of bed in the early morning I feel about 55
