How old are you? How long have you been riding?

[uforgot]

I rode as a kid, kept riding for transportation in college and as a young teacher and then when my kids came along, they rode on my bike and then with me, so I've always been riding in some form or another.

Hey red, not only do we ride the same type bike, but we're both the same age!

And uforgot doesn't HAVE to put her age in the post - just in the poll!

I'm 46. I had my last bike ride when my oldest son was 6 weeks old. He's now about to be 26. Fortunately, I found my first love again and I have been riding for the last 4 years.

I really do love to ride and love everything about bikes. It's kind of one of those passions that I put off for motherhood, that I didn't even realize was a passion until I started doing it again.

I longed for a bike as a child but school reports where all so bad was not allowed one until I was about 10 years old, then it was a second-hand bike, although I loved it.

I was a nutter on my bike but when moving to central London, had to get rid of it at the age of 12 years.

37 YEARS LATER............at the age of 50, I started riding a bike, again a second-hand one.

So have been riding for 8 years and now 58 years old............and loving it.

Yeah, I know she doesn't have to, but I'm thinking she just forgot. I hear she's forgetful. Or, she thinks I forgot. Hmmm, maybe I did forget? I can't remember.

I'm 54 and started riding when I was 47, almost 48. I started because my son was racing as a junior and my husband was heavily into it. Before that, I didn't learn to ride until I was 9 and then rode a lot until I was 13 or so. I stopped pretty much when we moved to Florida when I was 15.
I rode a little bit in the late 70s early eighties as a grad student and young mother, but never more than 5-10 miles.

I am 46 and have been riding for two and a half years. I knew when I got involved with my current partner that I would be doing MORE exercise, what I didn't know what cycling would become central to my life and become my OWN. So here I am, two and a half years later, a newbie racer and a teacher of bicycle riding and an athlete for the first time in my life. Who knew?

I don't fit into the poll... I'm 25

I always rode as a kid until about 4th grade when I had a bad accident on my bike. Then I just rode it around the farm and less on roads.

I really picked it back up in college and used it as transportation when I moved (car-less) to AZ for a winter... then it was on to MTBing and now road.
