It could have been my flab bouncing but that seems more gross than funny.
I'm 32, in Dallas Texas and I ride, sometimes at 3am, sometimes in the day and when I am not riding, I think about being on my bike. I might look too old to ride a bike and when people ask me about my bike, I tell them it cost one moth of their rent but it shows me things and teaches me lessons.

I have gotten envious compliments on my bikes including some chick who walked by with her ****** group saying "I remember when we used to do that it was so much fun". I laughed and told her in front of her group "anytime you want to hop on my handle bars and live a little come let me know". Of course her group wasn't to happy about that but who cares, I got my smile and keep riding.

My bikes
2003 Free Agent - Trail Devil (link)
2009 WeThePeople - Trust (link)

But if all else fails bro or anyone, just remember your roots, this video should help with that.

Seeing a 60 year old man cruising on a BMX would make me smile.

well it would make me smile too as I am having problems with a leg injury where a car run into my leg while I was on my motorbike.
But I go for a walk everyday from 1 - 6 miles but that will end soon as the weather is changing getting cold and wet

It's still wet down here but getting warmer. Can't wait till the rain is done. I've been having to drive to work.

I can assure you that getting my ass handed to me on the track by a 50 year old did not make me smile. Well, a little bit.
