You're right, you are about the age of my kids. One of the things I enjoy about riding is the chance to be involved with people of all ages. When you're on the bike nobody cares how old you are, the only thing that matters is how you ride. That said, I'm interested in how this survey turns out. When reading a post I find myself speculating how old the writer is,how much ridig they do, or what era formed their cycling values.
