23, Steelworker, student, soon to be mechanic
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I wheelied a couple of times on my previous bikes during spirited acceleration, but my current bike prefers burning rubber over popping wheelies.

I'm a 38 y.o. speech-language pathologist. Technically, I suppose I'm not a biker yet, since I won't be getting my first bike til Februrary tax return. I did take the MSF course, though.

I'm 62, soon to be 63. I'm a retired loafer with nothing to do except ride and drive my wife nuts. I could wheelie, but wise old riders don't.

Hey finally i was getting that no medical ppl ride bikes, i have hope now :D . ANd it also gives me hope that you guys arent all very young so i can still wait a while. There isn't a trend to generalize but i do see quite a few computer related careers, and military or hands on workers, pretty awesome. Thanks for the responses, although i guess it is a little bias cuz not many younger ppl would really want to help others out i guess. Still, interesting to hear about you guys!
