Yrs. on bike & what keeps you there

[shootingstar]

I'm amazed at how many of us are in the 45-55 age range.

You ladies are fab!
My story is more boring..no drastic weight loss..I was underweight. Now am trying to stay within my acceptable weight.
Cycling consecutively for nearly past 17 yrs. after abandoning bike at 19 yrs. old because of studies, etc. I was itching to get back on bike, but didn't know how... coincidentally met my partner ..who is a cyclist....rest is history.

Will be like roadie gal, in 2 wks. will turn 49.

Once on bike, it's like a drug that regenerates itself everytime I bike.
I love the freedom and to explore...because I don't drive. Car-less for most of life except for 6 years, when father bought a car. (I was 15 yrs. old).


I need the bike to do stuff around town and to take cheap(er) vacations.

Yea, we would also like to hear from women under 30? And is there anyone 60 and over?

The most inspirational thread around here is the one about women over 40 or whatever it was. That was a GREAT thread.

I'll try to find it.
