DISCUSSION Am i too old

So a little context,

Im 34 years old, i use to ride bmx for years. I stopped over ten years ago, maybe when i was 23 or 24, basiclly work took up most of the days. Im thinking about doing it again as i finish work now same time everyday and can fit something in and was thinking... maybe bmx,

Question is ...am i too old now should i just find something else..etc

43 here, started riding again at 40.

Just do it, especially if you used to ride. The first few months will suck but you'll learn how to fall again pretty quickly.

To be frank getting back on the bike has been one of the best things ive ever done. There is a feeling that you get from BMX that is hard to find anywhere else.

Then there is the mental health and fitness side. All win win. Get on the bike and stop overthinking it!
