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..

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.

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.

Bikes: a bunch
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.
