How old are Singletrack World users?

December 5, 2025

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 tow. There’s one here and it’s a simple one. How old are you?

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 if 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 what is the most Singletrack age range, then tick some boxes.

Your personal data is safe with us. We aren’t going to be releasing your personal information to anyone. Obviously the overall results will be essentially public although only visible here to logged in users of this site.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.

  2. This is interesting actually. Practically everyone in my club seems to be mid 40-60. Seems old for such an activity, but maybe reflects both the high cost of buying mtb gear, and also maybe the fact that the club’s only really advertised on Facebook which is an old person’s network.

  8. “Straight into the first category >17."

    Yeah, I think the first category should have been <18.
    Curiously, this is a question that came to my mind a few days ago after reading some responses on a thread in the forum, so this could not have been a better time for it from my perspective.

    I have to admit the current results aren't too far off what I was expecting.

  15. answers are about what I would have guessed.
    whats the logic behind the mid-decade age brackets?

    Standard market research survey design (as someone who works in that field). 
    Of course the challenge is self-selection bias: the figures represent the old gits who remember when this forum was all just fields, and are engaged enough to read the thread and want to answer. Still interesting though!
