Of course, I rode a bike when I was a kid - as kids do
and, i've been riding about 21 years since I took it up in or around 1987.

Of course I rode as a kid but that doesn't count.
I am now 27 and took up riding as a hobby/athletic pursuit at 23. My first non-toystore bike was a first anniversary present one month after I saw DH do the Shiner BASH, thought everyone looked to be having fun and I wanted in on that!Amanda

Rode as a kid, and as needed in college (both times!).
But seriously decided to ride for exercise and fun about 4 yrs ago. My friends rode, and we watched the TDF together, and I got the bug. Started riding the hubby's old cannondale MTB which I'd pedaled to and from class in vet school, but decided I wanted a bike that fit (and that I could get up hills easier
). So the next spring I got my road bike. I'm 41 now.

I'm 19 and have been riding on 2 wheels since I was four. My dad is/was a bike fanatic and has always been about the family rides and what not. I stopped riding when I was like 14ish and then got a job at a bike shop and bought a bike last year.

41. DH got me a MTB as an engagement gift (in 1993) and I rode quite a bit til I had the kid, then on and off. Serious road riding started in the beginning of 2001.

I'm 49. Like a lot of the rest of you, I rode as a kid but then stopped for a long time. I started riding again when I moved up to the Tahoe area. It's been about 12 years now. I started mountain biking. Then I got the road bike to build up my endurance for the mtn bike. But I decided that I liked the road more, so that's most of what I do.

I think I was surgically attached to my bike as a kid; I was hardly ever off it. Rode off and on through teens and twenties, but had a long spell off the bike after someone tried to "door" me on a bridge around age 25. I'm in the middle of my third year back on the bike (at 45)
