How Many Oldies Here?

[Rafferty]

Is cycling mainly for the younger generation who gradually stop riding as they get into middle age? I am 63, and have been cycling since I learned to ride a 2 wheeler when I was 4. I've only had a brief time away following a back operation. I would be interested to know who has kept the faith.

I rode for transport as a teen/early twenties. Stopped when I had children. Started again in middle age once they were old enough to leave for a couple of hours. Intend to keep going as long as I can.
This seems to be a common pattern amongst cyclists I know.

I'm way too young for this thread.

Nobody who cycles, by definition, is an oldie.

When you need stabilisers or a trike.

This is not meant to be morbid, but enlightening

Anyone who is in doubt should read the obituaries in the Cyclist Touring Club... the ages are remarkable
