    Many middle aged men think they look far younger than they actually are, trouble is, no one else thinks so.

    Not the case here I assure you.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    The cues that young people use to judge age are more likely to be things like hairstyle, dress, demeanour, etc. Obviously they can also spot wrinkles, saggyness and grey hair, but older people are better attuned to the fine scale of physical aging because they have observed the whole process over many years in themselves and in people they know (i.e. they have been able to compare young and old in the same individuals, not just different individuduals). Some face types just look young or old from the outset - but after a while you begin to recognise those and make allowances.

    Anyone over 30 = old.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Cycling certainly doesn't keep people from being boring, that's for sure :)

    As you've just so perfectly proved.

    True, I work with kids and I think if you are reasonably fit they tend to think you are younger than you are, I've had them think I'm in my 30s, I wish!

    To add another angle to this, being 26 I rarely get ID'd these days but when I do it's nearly always by older members of staff. The 18 year old cashiers can nearly always tell I am older than them. The further away from you on the scale they are the harder it is
