We’d like to know a little bit about your for our files.
It’s pretty important for us that we know who you are. That’s how we can make sure we are doing the right things for our users and subscribers. So every so often we will ask you to complete a poll or two. Here’s our next question following our last poll on how old you are?
Below you should see a poll. If you don’t it’s possible that you are not logged in to the site. If you don’t have an account you can create one in under a minute here. The one you see will depend on whether you are a full member or a free member. Yes, we’ve made two polls but you will only see one. So you will get to see the results of your group after you have submitted your age, but we will get to see if there’s a difference between the two groups. I’ll report on the answer to that question in the comments in a week or two.
So, if you want to see the results, then tick some boxes.

This poll is for people who have not yet registered as a Singletrack user. If you have an account already then please login to see your poll.
In a few weeks we will publish the complete results of our surveys, comparing both groups, to our newsletter subscribers. If you are not already signed up then you can do that now.
1998. It took me a year to save up for a Specilized Rockhopper. Then I upgraded to a Kona Cindercone, which I absolutely loved. This bike took quite a battering after several Lake District rides. The last time I rode was a few weeks ago (end October), this needs to be sorted out, because I’ve now got the best bike I’ve ever had – a Whyte.
“I think I got my first actual mountain bike in 89 but we rode the exact same stuff, just a little bit more, and we crashed less.
But I stopped completely in about 1997…
…Came back to it with no great expectations in I think 2009…”
Similar timings – replaced my BMX with a Peugeot MTB in ‘88, then had my Muddy Fox nicked the first week of uni in ‘96 (and got sucked into bass playing and bands). Restarted in 2009, spent £1k on an XC hardtail expecting to just pedal the South Downs bridleways etc – well that escalated!
Got my first MTB (ATB) in 1986 (reduced ‘85 model) and never stopped since ?
Bikes in general, probably 35 years. Pretty much near daily because i never learned to drive.
Had I learned to drive I’d probably be is far far worse shape than i am now 🤨
