How old
 

I get the impression that fixed gear ridders are a younger group. Just wondered how old you guys are. I'm just getting into it at 49, but I'm not like many my age. I would think BMX and mountain are the youngest age group and roadies the oldest, just wondered where fixed fits in.

Not sure where everyone else fits in, but I'm 28... A lot of the riders I see out here seem pretty young, though..

35.
November makes me older each year.

I am 22.

I'm soon to be 63. Been doing fixed for 15 years almost exclusively. 5 of those exclusively.

I'm 31 and will be 32 next Saturday August 14. But with 4 boys under the age of 9, sometimes I feel like I'm a kid, other times like an old man.

24, started early this year. Rode bmx for a few years up until i started riding fixed.

20 y/o here, riding SS for about 3 weeks now. Racing and doing freestyle bmx for around 10 years now

36. Ah, those precious few years between adolescence and midlife crisis.

23. been riding fixed since i was 19...so yeah, i'm a youngin.

i also ride BMX, trials, and road.

i'm 18 and have just gotten into this stuff. it's awesome that you're vegan at 49. i've been vegan for almost a year..

25 here

Good for you Jesse!! the world needs more of us! I have not been vegan all my life but I will be for the rest of it, it's been three years and I feel great, but I've always been told I could pass for much younger. Unless you don't know already, just be sure to get B12, and don't let the meat eaters bother you, your gonna hear a lot of hype, actually I don't let people know unless I have to, I get so tired of defending my actions. This fixed gear forum seems much more up beat than the road bike one. I've been a rodie for years and tried out a fixed gear at the LBS earily this spring and they almost had to pry me off the bike; now I'm hooked.

I'm 25, I think...

32 and a half

30 yo. i've ridden all my life-- bmx, freestyle, mountain bike, now road fix, and soon to be, mtn fix. still feel like i'm 14, though.

I am 32. My story is sort of the reverse. I was a vegetarian for the first 17 years of my life and I have been a white-meat eater ever since. I feel great too, and people tell me I pass for much younger. I am thinking of low calorie/complex-carbs diet ever since I saw a show on PBS. In any case, vegan is alright by me.

I'm 48, been riding since I was 32. SSing for 6 and fg for 4. I have to admit though I've been riding my geared mountain bike for the last month. It just looked so sad sitting there. Contrary to what most people experience though, my knees hurt more. I think I try to push to big of gear.

23 yo. been riding fixed for only about six months now; my mountain bike has been collecting dust for much of that time.
