Hi.

Obviously I voted for never as life just wouldn't be the same if I started counting how many new bikes I've got left.

 

[D_97_goodtimes]

Many thanks

Never.

I ride 2 wheeled bikes at present. When I get too old for that I plan to get a trike. And when I get too old for that I'm gonna get an electric trike. And after that, if they do bathchairs with electric motors, then I'm gonna get one of those as well.

Welcome.

You are never too old. I was riding in the Yorkshire Dales last year and ended up cycling alongside another cyclist, I must have spent half an hour talking with this really interesting fellow, he looked about 65 years old, he was 82! As fit as a fiddle, Cycles the hilly Yorkshire Dales almost every week. He was riding an old Ellis Briggs in how should I say ‘oily rag’ condition. I have no doubt if his trusty steed required replacing he wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

Erm,,, could have been me.
Given myself a target of 14 months to get another bike.

Seriously though, haven't bought a complete new bike for about 10 years, but in the last couple of years have bought a front carbon tri-spoke and a deep section rear track wheel for my TT bike. I doubt if I will buy another complete bike, but I can certainly see myself upgrading buts & pieces.

An extremely old guy overtook me on a very 'bling' Orbea the other week. Fair play chief!

That's okay Sharky, I was only joking really, each to their own, especially if you have been cycling for years and have quite a fleet.

I still think their is no age limit to adding to it though.

You're right, age should not be a consideration. If you need a bike and have the funds, you must buy.

I can see my needs changing in the future. A solo trike, an e bike and believe it or not, never had a mtb.
