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

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.

I'm 44 and I've been riding for 5 years. I started as a kid but my bikes were always flat. I rode a bit in the Bay Area...mostly too cheap to pay for parking at the community college Tried to ride a bit in LA...boy was that scary. Fast forward to now...my longest most serious spell of biking.

I'm 29 (30 next month!). And I've been road riding and mountain biking for four years. I started riding so DH and I could do something together. Now he's so busy he doesn't ride at all and I have to ride by myself or with DD.

I think the poll assumes 25 year olds are the Lost Generation.
