Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

How old are you?

Just curious as to how old people that ride SS/fixed are. Feel free to post your age, but what i'm really interested in is the average, so get voting. For the record, I'm 20.

35 years young! Sorry, i hate that phrase please line up and club me.

Just looking at the numbers we seem to cover a wide variety of ages and then of course at 65 your knees fall off and you stop riding.

I hope this is not true, and if it is, I am going to have to have one hell of a bike sale in 3 years.

How old are you?

Gentlemen and gentle ladies-
You can add me to the currently null group. I'm 66, but don't look a day over 75. One's knees don't collapse at 65 from riding fixed, but I can't vouch that it won't happen at 67, but at least i'll have a summer of FG riding.

42/15 and loving it.
