Another go:
Youth is while you can improve your performance
Middle-age is when you can't but keep doing it anyway.
Old is when you stop doing itPosted 1 year ago # -
Impossible to say when it starts as there are so many variables.
Attitude, outlook, fitness, etc etc all play a part and some people are old farts at 28, they just 'become old'. Others like some posters above ^^ and me (hopefully) will carry on and do exactly what they want and remain young with a few additional grey hairs and wrinkles.
The only concession I've made is that I rarely drink to excess now as hangovers have hurt like a barsteward since I was 45 ie. 6 years ago

At 50 I am approaching middle aged I think - and I am certainly a lot younger than many 50 yr olds

When you buy a road bike.

I just keep thinking about how many gallons of diesel I could have bought to go biking or how many brake pads/tyres/tubes etc I could have bought. Sad
A night out could have = a trip down the Lakes. Tough choices sometimes

Exactly.

It starts when you start asking what age does it start!
Who the hell cares!

when you buy a sensible road bike and ask people on cycling forums about weekends in Lincolnshire.

Do you think there's a SAGA forum where people are all inistsing that old age doesn't start until you're past 90 as well?

My wife tells me it's when I stop finding farting funny.
Or is that being mature?Posted 1 year ago # -
+1 Repack - my Dad's 61 and a lifelong (road) cyclist. Every year he sets himself a minimum 1,000 mile challenge and has usually done it by June...! If he's not middle aged yet- at 34 I'm no where near..
