I'm 54 and been riding consistently since I was about 4. I don't race, but I do ride timed endurance events with a view to being age-competitive.
But what makes me far more qualified to weigh in on this kind of thread is my engineering degree and several decades working in F1 motor racing development - where details (like tyre pressure) seriously matter.
