I guess I'm in the majority so far, age wise. I'm 39 and I've been riding for almost three years. First the tandem dh convinced me to ride with him, then a year ago, my own single. Not counting the bikes I rode as a kid, of course, or the hybrid dh bought me about five years ago that I lolly gagged around on a few times.

I'm 39. I rode everywhere when I was a kid, then after college spent a year touring Europe by bike. When I got back, I still spent a lot of time riding around for fun and exercise.
Then life got in the way--grad school, marriage, work, kids. The usual. Three years ago I decided I *had* to get myself back in shape, so I started running. It worked well to get me in shape but I hated every second of it. Then a few months ago, when I noticed I was avoiding running with all kinds of lame excuses, I remembered that cycling was always fun, even when it was exhausting and miserable. So I pulled out my 18 year old bike, got it fixed up and just got it back last week. I think most of my cycling is going to be commuting right now--it's a perfect way to work exercise into everyday life.
