Thirty-five going on 80？

I have just read a story on BBC.co.uk about the modern midlife crisis being signified by a souped-up road bike instead of a sports car. It reads: "Given the number of men aged 35-44 who are buying fancy-pants road-racing machines, is this a 21st century mid-life crisis?" Hang on! Thirty-five isn't middle aged.

Is it? You could consider age groups in 30-year lots (0-30 = young; 30-60 = middle aged; 60-90 = old) but I reckon discounting childhood makes things seem a little easier to stomach (0-16 = child; 16-36 young; 36-66 = middle aged; 66-96 = old). Any thoughts?
