How old are you?

[raleighnut]

62 here, fitness went down after I snapped my Femur into 3 bits not helped by them botching the first operation and having to remove that pin and insert a bigger one 9 months later.

It seems like a simple straightforward question, but you have the ability to change your vote if you so desire.

Well if the thread is active for a while, some people may have birthdays which move them from one band to another

Forum does seem "older" than I thought

I sort of expected the average to be a section or so younger
but maybe that is just the people who will consider replying to this thread!

although a "certain thread" is clearly older
but, as Mo pointed out - only chronologically!

Damn!! I thought I was on a dating site of hot, fit, 20 year old cyclists. What a waste of 2 years that was.

I feel groomed..

I can identify as a 20 year old - but I think I have other qualification that might not match what you think you want??

The forum seems fairly "mature" - interested to see if this is reflected in the numbers

I think it reflects the modern cycling demographic.

I think it reflects the modern cycling demographic.

Or the demographic of people who have time for this kind of thing.

Or that youngsters who cycle prefer to use instant chat type platforms.

The various cycling 'subs' on Reddit seem to be very popular, albeit full of people obsessed with their performance and their latest bike etc.

Just turned the big Six O. Also just handed my notice to retire after 42 years in the industry ( two employers).

When out on my bike, still think I'm 30, but after hauling in the rider ahead of me on ride into office today, and breathing through a certain part of my anatomy as I passed him whilst trying to sound completely calm as I said "Morning", I felt my full six decades :-)

Did he know you were having a race?

Free? I don’t think so. Unless you never paid any NI.

Hardly free - I have been paying for everyone pension for over 40 years

bloomin' scrounging lazy lot of entitled old people

until next year when all pensioners will become people receiving their well deserved pension after all those years of working hard for the sake of the country

67 now , Money has been arriving in my bank account every month for the last year, I haven't had to clock on once. I like that. Been having a few health problems over the last five or six years so fitness isn't what I'd like it to be, but, I'm still getting out only slower than before.

They say "You're only as old as the woman you feel". Trouble is the youngsters don't want to hug me anymore.

Oh dear. You got as far as sucking on Dirk's Werthers Originals?
