This, it's a good age.

Haha, I can't complain. Doesn't feel long since i turned 18 though, where did all the time go?!

31 though after last nights commute home in the wind I felt more like 61, it was not fun!

a very unhealthy 35

Interesting how the poll is showing a dip at 36-40.....parenthood curtails MTBing for a while? Something else? Or not statistically relevant......

Mid-Life Crisis is why 31-35 is so high! Where are all the young-uns though?!

fat_homer

31-35 is far to young for mid life crisis!

The Rookie

+1!

We need more 36-40 year olds, the slightly uneven distribution offends my sense of neatness.

I was 27 when I joined this place lol. Well, the old WMB forum. Good to see we have a good mix of ages.

Interesting results so far! I'm surprised to see so many more 31+ than under 31. I thought the 20s would be dominant by far!

Now everyone above a certain age- add up all the people on the forum that weren't born when you started riding

103 out of the 126 that have voted so far. Maybe a few more in the lower end of the band below.

riding a bike or MTBing (or getting muddy as it was back then?)

My first ride entailed a friend's older brother (I was 4 or 5) sitting me on a bike and setting me off down a steep slope in their garden. Great fun except I had no idea about brakes or turning, so I hit the wall at the end. It was off road so I guess it's as close to MTBing as there was in those days.
Once I'd stopped crying he showed me how to stop.
I've been crashing ever since.

before i got on 2 wheels i was heading down the drive on my fixed Trike and crashed into the wall of the house and bust my nose. not long after worked out how two use two wheels correctly.

Riding is better than walking...

cooldad

I bet most people here are better at walking than riding.

Twelly

All this talk of walking is making me want to walk.

I'm 23 and a lifetime walker, part time rider.
