The younger reflection looks a lot like a (slightly) younger @TheBikePilot .....

Is he a semi-immortal ? Is the real reason his video skills are so good is because he's been around since the birth of film ?

Aquí está mi viejo lugar, '94 Klein, que ha estado acumulando polvo desde que apareció el Levo Comp en el granero:

Suelo sacar a pista mi Orbea del 91 al menos una vez al mes, cuando quiero rodar como un viejo.

This is a great thread, just proves that if your over 50 you can still have a dirty weekend.

 

[Howz]

I’m 57……just checked and that’s wrong I’m actually 58…..time fly‘s eh here’s me, although you can’t see me I’m riding the Levo, it’s great footage and makes me look a lot better ( even being good would be better! In fact because I’m upright and can pedal a bike maybe I am good ) than I actually am…..the power of video editing eh

A man can NOT have too many bikes eBikes or not........
A few broken ribs in march, cracked again in July... not fairing too well this year, but the Vitus now has Boxxer forks so the wild stuff is feeling much better now although I've had to slow things down a bit, the 3 days in A&E Southmead Bristol were not pretty with a colapsed lung and internal bleeding but I'm OK now
HAPPY RIDING ALL - we are only as old as we feel right!!! I'm feeling older by the day sob sob.....

 

[CannonFodder]

Well I qualify as an old fart as i'm looking at 50 in the rear view mirror.

Luckily it is reversed so I have an actual age of 05, result.

Treated myself to this bad boy recently, bad boy because the shift quality is embarrassing, SRAM SX is woeful IME;

And took this one beside my new holiday home last time out,,,,

Nice pic Dave . . . You look pretty happy to be out there on that sweet Orbea . We've been to Hot'Lanta several times. You should try riding it down the face of Stone Mountain . Just let a little air out of the tires first.

@Randomdave might get a bit of a shock when he Googles Rolf !

Yup, my regular route is 540m in approx 3 miles...its worth it though, but thank F for e-mtbs!

 

[Waynemarlow]

Just pushing my old age pension in the UK and the bus pass is way back in yonder years, still doing some good rides though, well I consider them good fun rides, just glad EBikes have allowed us to continue doing what we all like to do. Mind you todays 60's are the last generations 50's such is the better diet and health we all adhere to

Excuse the KOM's, the M600 is a great motor.
