I am about to turn 19 in 2 months, and finally in about a month, ready to get a real road bike . I have only been doing casual just for fun cycling on a beater bike around roads mostly, as my "cycling." But then I see many people and how they start real competitive cycling at around 16 years of age and around that age. I am 160 pound 5 foot 11 and just a little fat here and there. I woudl like to pursue with the local cycling club some racing after a year or two later ......... and the question is, at 19, is it too late to start? I am confused. What do you think? Too late?
