39 here-almost 40. Bicycles may just be my version of this :

49 here...50 in dec.
here is my "old" track bike:


and here is my "new" one:


they both see equal road time, mostly commuting but I do some longer rides on the raleigh occasionally.

Just turned 43, been riding FG since 40

We're old? I think I missed that memo.

Ha! No kidding: I'm in the best shape of my life, sport a full head of hair, married to an 11 on a scale of 10, got no anklebiters and make enough money to support several expensive hobbies. So while I FEEL like I'm 28, my driver's license claims I'm 42.

Hey, I'll have you know: that little plastic egg that the Just for Men hair-color disposable gloves come in makes a great tiny-parts storage container. I probably have about 30 of them laying around...

OK, so I need reading glasses, and if I didn't hit the Sandy-Blonde once a month my hair would be the color of this forum's background...

Um, only 36 which makes me about 10-15 years older than the average fixed gear rider in my neighborhood which makes me feel like an 'Old Guy'.

"Bro, look at the old guy on the fixie, bro!"

"Bro, he has no sopke cards, bro. What a poser!"

41. Desk jockey, minivan driver, mortgage payer, dad with little kids.

is it about winning
41 years here!
Rock on

42 here...and love leaving youngsters in the dust!!!

Not too old, I'm 38. I started riding fixed on the track in 1984 and then fixed on the road in 1985. What was once for winter training has stayed with me. My daily 12 mile (each way) commute is done fixed.

Geez, I wish I had my original track bike--Guerciotti, nicely lugged, fully campy. Doh!

I'm 59. I had to stop riding fixed about a year ago due to a bum knee. Here's

a picture of my last conversion. Sold it, but I sure do miss it.

im 203 in dog years

I joke about being old but I don't think I've ever felt better, and still the same weight I was 20 years ago.

I saw my first full-on hipsters a few months ago at a music store in LA. Truth be told, they didn't look any goofier than I did at that age, except that my shoes always matched.

40 years old. Love hammering on the fixed-gear.

And here, just having fun exploring different sport:

Not all that good at olympic-style weightlifting, but training with it helps me achieve power that breaks off pedals on the bike. Helps in the mix-martial arts, too. Fun to be "old."

Are you this Bill L???


Welcome to the boards, NAES aka I'm Rick James

Biaatch no way!!! it's me. Beedee is riding as well but no fixed gear yet and you would not recognize him, he has lost something like 60# from riding over the last year

I'm speeding toward being 43 and have been riding fixed for several years (I now have 4 of them), rode ss before that (mtb), and have been a lifelong cyclist.

I'm looking to doing a fixed century next weekend and like the same annual ride last year, expect that the kids may once again have some trouble keeping up with me.

48 and dyed-in-the-wool one-speeder. I consider a derailleur a specialty item for heavy terrain. Otherwise it's a waste of weight and machinery and force.

However I have yet to try fixed. My ride has a flip-flop and I should flip it one of these days. I'm awkward enough with a freewheel sometimes and chicken to learn FG. Someone talk me into it.

I haved lived sixty-two years.

I have two fixed gear bikes: a summer ultra-light and a winter ice bike with studded tires.

I ride 24/7/365 and I intend to never ride a geared bike again in this lifetime.

You have a flair for the dramatic.

^^ And I like it! ^^

Nice snatch there powerband.

That is my favorite lift. I'm not at all good at it, but I like it nonetheless. Kind of like riding fixed gears...

What bodyweight do you compete in?

Thanks, garythenuke. It's a fun lift. In that video I competed in the 69 kilo weight class (bodyweight was 68 kilo), and won 1st place in all ages. That's one for the "old guys" here.

I usually weigh 72 kilos and is where I'm most comfortable.

Here's the clean and jerk with the barbell weighing 112 kg. (246.4 lbs.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OiFFRpen1M&feature=user

Not my favorite lift, but certainly more fun than doing biceps curls.

Age is a state of mind...

At 85 my grandfather could still dead lift and carry 500 pounds.

He told me that his neighbour was about his age and single handedly carried the flywheel off a combine when his sons (a couple of massive guys) were unable to budge the 800 pound part.

My step father could dead lift and toss a full oil drum when he was in his mid fifties... they weigh about 450 pounds.
