Should I still be on here?

[JackieA]

Ok I am almost 82 years old and have changed to riding a Cube Reaction Pro 800 because I am no longer strong enough to manage the Scott 720. The bike is set up for both on and Orr road with gravel tyres and I ride on road with Lancaster Women’s Cycling Group and off road with M0tley Crew in Yorkshire. At other times I explore bridleways on my own.
I miss the dual suspension but with Emtb+ can cope with some fairly technical stuff.

82! God bless.

Sometimes I ask it myself but you know, only One has the answer. If my opinion matters, I enjoy you being a Cube rider

82, respect!!!

Good on ya. Around these parts, we like chicks on bikes regardless of age. Wait... can I still say that in 2026? Please don't cancel me. Your next step is to post a picture over in the "Pic of the Day" thread. Party on.

Age is only a number, enjoy life while you can.

82 and still riding road, off-road, group rides and solo exploring — that’s what matters.

Plenty of people stop long before that. You’ve kept going, adapted when needed, and you’re still out there enjoying it.

That’s the standard

Absolutely!

@JackieA As long as you feel comfortable, go for it and keep your mind and body fit. Even if there might be people saying you are to old.

 

[Pizzman]

All you old people on bikes.

It only happens to the lucky ones!

Stay safe, and ride those bikes!!!!!

I hope I’m riding at 80 that would be 78 years of riding bikes

Be old, bike.

Best wishes to you crazy, old riders.
Much respect.

Wife was 66 on Monday and I was 79 on Wednesday. We ride our Trek Rails off road together in the South Downs and France. Sometimes I do bike parks. Age is just a number until it's not any more.

JackieA: you are incredible! Much much respect! I love this

 

[jeanmarc]

82 ! That's inspiring

Why not would be a better question!

 

[Giff]

I am a bit younger than you ….but not much! I have asked myself the same question and have to be realistic about our aging and restrictions. Although I feel healthy and fit to ride I think we maybe a bit more vulnerable to injury than younger riders. I have downgraded my rides a bit and ride within my capabilities.
