I'm 49, have been a serious cyclist for 10 yrs; got my first fixie a bit over a year ago.

I can't remember but I was born in Oct 69 do the math :)

My first track bike at 17 yrs old. After a few years I took a 10 year break for various reasons. Never did forget the fixt bike though and finally now that I have a fairly steady job for the first time in my life I have another on to ride.

33 and I rode the BMX for about 16 years and then started with the fixed gear. It's been about 6 years or so.

66yrs. old. Started riding fixed about a year ago. I usually choose fixed for most rides under 45-50 miles, but I did a century last September just to see what it would be like.
Other than having a tough time going down the Niagara escarpment, it was a great ride.

26 - I sometimes blank out when people ask my age, this started happening past 23. I told someone I was 24 a month or so ago, it was the first thing that came to mind for some odd reason. The mid-twenties - a blur!

I'm 31 and I've been fixed for about 11 or 12 years.

svwagner 08-09-04 01:38 PM

33, but my wife insists that i'm 15...so i guess that makes me 19 (on average).

51 and riding SS for a year and riding all that time.

Interesting that the group sounds older than one would think. Either that or the youngins have a life and don't have time to post...

I am now 58...cycling for over 30 years..once rode my friend's track bike at a So Cal velodrome..realized I would most likely find myself on my ass many times if I kept doing this...haven't regretted the decision.
I also pretty much failed horseback riding, though at the time I was in a situation where I had to do it for about a year. Fell on my ass a lot.

pitboss 08-09-04 08:12 PM

well, thank god they don't allow horses in the velodrome

Schiek 08-09-04 08:14 PM

But I thought he was riding an ass not a horse...

timmhaan 08-09-04 08:55 PM

27 - i ride both a fixed gear track and a "regular" road bike.

I think the same could be said for most of us. Except for me, I have no life AND I post while at work. :D
