    It's a pretty sweet pic though!

    I figured I was the only person here under the age of 35... I guess not!

    Yeah...it really feels that way. But I think that's why I like USENET.
    There are always silly people, but compared to a message board,
    newsgroups such as this one seem to have a more focus and maturity.

    Just curious: I'm 23. you?

    21 wishing I was just out of school for once. 16 years of straight
    education (summers too) is just too much.

    What's interesting to me is the comparison to other packs of cyclists
    that have put themselves up on frappr.

    The group that I'm involved with that trends toward younger people seems
    really weighted toward the east coast:

    http://www.frappr.com/bikepirates

    The group that seems more middle-aged looks like it is northeast-heavy
    but otherwise normal:

    http://www.frappr.com/boblist

    This newsgroup looks the most evenly distributed, and I consider it
    (wild-ass guess) to generally have riders older than the average on
    boblist.

    http://www.frappr.com/recbicyclestech

    Perhaps cyclists are minted on the coasts and follow jobs inland as
    they age. Maybe cycling is becoming a more regional affair?

    I'm surprised that there aren't more Canadians on the frappr maps, as
    there seems to be plenty of traffic on this group from Canada.

    Looking at all three, I wouldn't recommend opening a shop south of the
    Mason-Dixon.

    I mostly lurk here (cause I don't have anything useful to contribute)
    but you'll have to zoom out ALOT to see me.

    But, at least on my browser you have to get to asia by moving to the
    right. If you move left across the Pacific, nobody's icons seem to
    "wrap around." Curious.

    Roving speedbumps for mountain bikes. They have the unpredictable, easily-hit
    nature of squirrels combined with the mass and armor to make you fear. I've
    never actually hit one, but come close several times, missed one only by
    jumping.

    Yeah, translate that one, please.
