Cyclists are liberals?! (Retry)

yes, true. More young people are liberal. More older people are not. The internet population tends to be a lot younger than the general population.

I am surprised however at how big the percentage difference is here. Part of it is surely the age thing.
Are liberals more apt to be interested in physical exercise? in getting on bikes and riding?
interesting anyway!

What do you mean the age thing? A good many of us are over 50...
Are we supposed to be conservative because of our age? I have found that political leanings have more to do with 1) what part of the country you live in and 2) the political beliefs of your family. Both of those are generalizations, but ones that I have found are more true than age.
I have lived in the northeast, the south, the west, and back to the northeast.
There's a reason i moved back here!

Crankin, I am 56 and as liberal as they came. I said statistically there are more conservatives our age than there are in their 20's, that's percentages and it doesn't mean YOU are a conservative..

I think it was Sir Winston Churhill who snorted "When you are young and not a liberal, you have no heart. And when you are old and not a conservative, you have no brain" Atleast, something like that. The German movie "Edukators" was based on this concept. And as we get older, more people become conservatives. Ein muss sihet Film. Ja? It should have English subtitle. I highly recommend it so do my friends.
