You find an answer to every need here.

Not yet, Clock. But with any luck, very soon

Maybe the original question, instead of over 50, is to ask under age 30.

Sometimes more meaningful and just as accurate to have folks answer like this: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=7782

We can only trust that no troll will answer the poll. (What a poem.)

Oh my, what a lovely little bell curve...so far!

I'm right there in the 'bump' at 50yrs...

Wow, where are all the young female cyclists at!?

I am 28. DH thinks I am a complete freak because I am actually excited that I will be 30 soon. I am so done with my 20's. He is turning 30 next year and is dreading it.

I love that a woman who is 63 leads rides weekly for women mountain bikers. That is SO inspiring. I also have done many centuries with people in there 60-70's. Heck I did the MS150 with a man riding that was 90! He made it all 150 miles. I love that this board is a mix of ages, locations, experiences.

When my Mammaw was in her 70's she had a 1/2 acre size garden she tended to. At 92 she has a walker but she still does the NY Times crossword in pens and all kinds of crafts plus walks herself around the grocery store (we can't get her list right you see). I can't wait to be old AND active. Old and sitting on my butt eating bonbons is only for after the long bike ride I did that morning.

I'm 30 and agree with Aggie_Ama. Turning 30 was great! I too was done with my tumultuous 20s. I'm looking forward to see what my 30s will bring

**Reesha** · 07-10-2009, 05:52 AM

I'm certainly not afraid of aging! Indeed, seems like the best is yet to come

This is a rather expensive sport (like I needed another one!), and requires disposable income, something which one doesn't always have in one's 20s.
The only reason I could afford the new bike was that I got a nice, cushy summer job in a chem lab.

Yeah, I spent 10% of my pre-tax annual income on my first roadbike!

It was a LOT of money back that. I just make the necessary sacrifices to support my hobby.

My observation is that there's not many of us, and it seems like Mimi's theory holds water. The younger women seem to have kids and jobs and no time for cycling.

I certainly wouldn't have time for the bikes if DH and I had children. As it is, my bikes don't get enough attention!
