I'm 31 and am therefore younger than approximately half my bicycles.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

But some parts of me feel 19.
And other parts of me feel 100.

I'm also 47, but my two kids (ages 5 and 9) make me feel old and young at the same time.

I hate to say it, cause I don't feel this old. I still ride mountain bikes on single track, technical courses. Before my shoulder injury in July/August, my average speed on my roadie was 18mph, over 30 miles, including hills.
But I have to face it, I'm 61
But PLEASE don't tell anyone else.

Same here. I encourage my fellow "classics" who have not already done so to check out the 50+ forum -- great bunch of guys and gals, many of whom you will recognize from other BF forums.

I greatly enjoy sharing my interests in classic bicycles and classical music with your generation. My elder son, age 23, loves Beethoven and rides the 1980 Peugeot PKN-10 I gave him because it was too tall for me. His everyday transportation bike is the 1992 Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike I bought him 10 years ago, but one of his graduation presents from me this year was a brand-new Cannondale Rush mountain bike, so his bike collection already spans a pretty good range of years.

Cut me in half and you'll find 51 rings - some thinner, some fatter......
