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

why do so many women turn to biking at middle age?
Oh, that's easy. it's good exercise with low impact. If you never ran before you were 50, it's probably never going to happen. But bicycling? you can pick your speed. you can amble, or you can race. You can just do flats or you can MTB your way through hills and rivers.
I've considered Soccer, but didn't want to get slammed, i guess there's a lot of body contact. And organized competitive sports just don't do anything for me.
Then bicycling has another side to it. Not only is it fun exercise, but it's practical transportation as well!

talk about win-win!

plus bikes are such sexy looking machines and they purr just like cats...;-)

I'm 26, have had a bike most of my life, rode a lot when I was in middle/early high school, virtually none in college (tiny campus) and this year I decided to give up my car, bought two bikes (1990 Terry Chrom and 2007 Novara Pulse) and have been happy ever since. It's been six months. I don't anticipate being on four wheels again unless I'm pulling a trailer on a tour

so what i want to know is what happens to women after they're 65?

I'm hoping it's just that they are not as computer literate as the rest of us.
