anyone over 30 riding flat, please post some pictures of yourself.

I hope this stays in the flat forum. I hate wading thru all the junk in that other section.

I'll be 33 in four days.

hi mate,
i was 28 when i started, now i am 30 . i really understand you're feelings. As long as i'll have some fun on my bike, i'll keep doing it. Also when i look at my friends at work , they are pretty much all in bad shape for their age. You'll keep fit with flatland.

Thats the main reason I started riding again. I have a road bike, a mountain bike and other stuff. But, its hard to find something that I enjoy doing that will help me drop a few pounds.

Hey there, I'm turning 34 this May. I started up again last year after not haven been on my bike for about 10 years! Tell your wife there are plenty of riders over the age of 30. Lots of pro riders too so you're definitely not alone.

Tell her if she thinks it's only for teenagers or our mid-life crisis thing, it's not. Tell her it's just another way to stay in shape and have fun. I feel so much better now that I've been riding for the past year. I think it's also very important in any kind of relationship to have "me time." Not only that, the significant other should also be just as supportive to you as you would be to her.

She might not understand why we ride...but she can definitely understand what makes you happy right?

Oh, what Tico said about "being old"...he's right...if you think it, you are. Having the right attitude determines if you keep on riding or not. Learning tricks is almost all mental...you put that road block that you're old, you're never going to learn that trick. It's an attitude! :)

Tico...awesome deathtruck!!!

Just so your wife doesn't think we're all teenagers...Taken early last year;
