I got my first bike as a very young child. Progressed from kids bikes to BMX for years, then got my first serious road bike at 18 and got into racing the same year - my best friend wanted me to, he in turn was friends with someone whose older brother was a Professional. Got into MTB XC last year at 50, still do road bike too. I think as a child, teen and into my late twenties, early thirties I cycled nearly every day, if not every day. I'm back to that now.
