Sorry if this has been done before, but I'm curious to see if age affects likelihood of commuting by bike, so - how old (approximately) are you?

    Wow that's worrying!! No cyclists over 55! Have they all been killed by left-turning HGVs?

  • Under 25 here, well under. :)

    Does it not allow you to add more options when you click edit post?

    No they are just lying about their age, either that or they all left and went to CycleChat to be with the other adults...

    ...54 years old here, been cycle commuting for the last 24 years. I think I am fitter now than when I was a very over weight teenager...

    hello, i'm 23

    commute to and from uni, got bored and rode from coventry to rugby to visit a friend,
    porn isnt worth the time taken to aquire it, msn doesnt work properly, i prefer meeting up with people and going biking or any of my other hobbies

    i have owned a bmx since being a child, i found it in a skip, did it up, messed about with it and sold it on for a proffit

    oh, and i'm on here a fair bit, assuming this counts as a proper bike forum (i was a member on the old C+ forum too)

    theres always an exception to the rule and its often me :)

    that will be all

    steel is the only frame material isnt it?

    my bikes:
    steel mountain bike (on one inbred) much nicer to ride than the alu framed bike i had before

    60's carlton roadie, steel frame and fork, love it (until i fall off it)
    My signature was stolen by a moose

    that will be all

    kind of mirrors the national demographic, tbh

  • The drop-off rate of older cyclists is a bit steeper than I expected.

    There are fewer U25's than I reckoned, but that might be a reflection on my ineptitude setting up the poll in the first place.
  • 24 atm. turn 25 next month so I guess I got in at the right time! Have used my bike to commute to my last 3 jobs over the last 7 years, but they where only in my local town! Now I do a proper commute to the city :-D
