if you ride a bike do you age slower or just never grow up

I dont think we do grow up do we? I thought it was only women that did - they always say "boys and their toys".

Hmmmm...my theory is that no-one grows up...we just get more responsibilities and FEEL older!! Riding that bike makes you forget all your worries/responsibilities, so...........riding a bike actually makes you grow younger!!
Can't explain all the wrinkles tho'....unless it's all that wind blowing in your face!!! LOL

I agree with Alice here, Im 58 nearly but when Im out on the bike it feels more like Im about 30 ish. The body says differently though after a long ride. I only do about 8k in a car every year and it just bores the pants off me

I'm not just ageing slower, I'm actually getting more juvenile with each year that passes....I think it's bloomin brilliant getting 'old' cos the years of having to be grown up and responsible are passing....yippeee, it's my turn to come out and play!

Damn I didnt realise the dark visor was for hiding our age (sprints off to shop) just thought it was so we didnt scare people!!!!!!

Not so much about ageing as living. Worked non stop until 18 months ago and now experimenting with how to actually live. A steep learning curve but I ain't complaining.
