When you need stabilisers or a trike.

at what age does one become an oldie, just so i know when the time comes

'Old' is always a few years older than you are

 

[jonny jeez]

Most the riders I know are between 35 and 50. A couple are low 20's and high 60's .

So, to me, cycling is a middle aged sport.

Don't feel very old to be honest and cycled up Mt Snowdon 5 days before my 63rd birthday last month.

 

[snorri]

No, no oldies here.
These ******young whippersnappers, the questions they ask nowadays.
In my day, we'd have had our ears clipped for such rudeness.

 

[growingvegetables]

Kids I teach reckon I'm in my early 40s

Long-distance is a bit different. The average age of AUK members is something in the 50s (which means I'm above average! Woohoo!).

Oddly enough, on the club-run this morning I decided to add up the combined age of the four of us on the front at that point - 284 years! Two of us 67, the other two, 70 and 80.

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.

75 years young Feb2 2016.
Oh and had an Aortic valve replacement in 2013
An old friend of mine housed to say that cycling is a cradle to grave sport

Have been cycling off and on all my life. Started by riding to school. Continued on into mountain bike racing. Dabbled with track and circuit racing then work, family etc got in the way to take it too seriously. Now at the age of 64 I have been riding on the road for the last six months regularly and enjoying every moment. Have even bought myself a winter bike now. I don't feel my age when on the bike but when I get off it after a 30 mile jaunt maybe I do!!
