Y'all DO realize there's a Fifty-Plus forum, too, right?

On the Bikejournal.com, there's a name that's not too far from the top, "melo", he's 80+. He also posts on the forums there.

Keep in mind this is the "Road Cycling" forum, not the "Road Bike Riding" forum or the "Racing" forum or the "Fast" forum, so as long as you can keep a cruiser or adult tricycle upright on the pavement, you're good to participate.

I also see in that BikeJournal screen shot, that I'm ahead of 10Wheels, which is kind of surprising. I'm "GlacierChaser" on the Bikejournal site.

i see little old ladies who are easily pushing 80 riding road bikes down the springwater trail in portland every weekend.

Pcad pre-dates the wheel.

I was an old fart when Al Gore invented the internet. I had a class from the man who made the first commercial network. The first version networked 8 computers, that was plenty since the biggest company had 6 computers.

Turning 25 next month, i just began riding last year.

I've been riding since I was six.

Naa Naa Noo Poo Poo.

10 Wheels

Won't last long. I have more bikes than you, and my wife says I need to ride them all. Besides you ain't old yet.

Reynolds 

Yes, I know I started out late, but I've spent the last 48 yrs trying to catch up.

when Japan was still a rock emerging from the water...the pre-Mothra era.

At least on a bike you can't make the "I thought I was hitting the brake pedal" mistake that old drivers sometimes make.

StanSeven

I posted something like that here and some guy jumped all over me - said Al Gore's comment was misunderstood and taken out of context. Hope he doesn't catch you too.

But now Al Gore has moved on to saving the world with $5 gas

I know a year or two ago, when you were trying for 20,000 miles, you sure had a bunch more than me, so that's why it was surprising. I have ramped it up a bit, though.

And I may not be old, but on the other hand, I'm not retired, so I've got to squeeze all my riding into fewer hours.

And hey, I rode out of Brookshire last week- not exactly League City, but closer at least- it was a gorgeous weekend, lots of flowers out, had a great time.

By the way...my introduction to Computers was Fortran programming...on punchcards.

10 Wheels

It is all about having fun and keeping my blood sugar level under control.
Fun, I am having with the BMC bikes.

I'm 58 this month and still do club rides but I get tired of it sometimes. I know some guys in their 60s who still go pretty fast in the hills.

djb

Im only in my late 40s, but have clear memories of touring in France 20 odd years ago, and on Sundays Id always see group rides out, roadies, and there would always be a bunch of older fellers in their 60s and 70s and that always impressed me.
I strive to be one of those guys in 20 years or so. (and they werent hanging about either les vieuxs monsieurs)

fishymamba

I think there are a couple other the same age or younger than me. They probably ride more than me too...

chasm54

Maybe we should invite Robert Marchand to post here.

patentcad

I would crush a 78 year old broad on a bike, and I would hope it would make her quit the sport.

I learned this thinking in the 41 and the 33.

patentcad

That being said, I do have cycling crap older than half you morons.

trek330

Gave me a chuckle.

I'm not quite on 10 Wheels level, but last year at 64, I did well over 5,000 miles. This year, at 65, I hope to break it by one or two thousand miles.

NCbiker

My neighbor just took off down the road on his bike, he's 86.

What I don't use I throw out.

That said I have a Campy bike hat I still wear from around 1976.
