Those like myelf (62) have had the career and now its time to slow down and really enjoy life (i've earned it). With my disability I have to ride an Bent so this touring concept may be a bit of a challenge, but i'm looking forward to it. I may never leave the US but there's a lot here too. Yes the middle group is really locked up in family and career. Many I have talked to, want to, but life is getting in the way. It usually ends up the family camp out at a local park for them. I applaude them for the devotion to the family and just hope that they will take some time later for themselves.

She absolutely loved it and is planning to tour Europe by bike next summer! My two sons, 20 and 17, were very jealous of our trip and want to do one with me next summer. Thats how to get young people into cycle touring these days! There's simply no better way than to have them see the beauty of our world from a bike saddle.

I think people in their 30's are in the peak of that competativness. Tour-cycling may be attractive to that younger group but I believe you will find that the respondents are probably not the competative type. Just a thought.

So maybe if you filled it out before then you were not included. I'm sure there are other people who are interested in bicycle touring and are in that 30-something age group... but I think the graph here shows that there are, at least to a certain degree, less people in that age category. Nick,
