That was a bit of a surprise. But yeah, this makes sense.

I'm not sure how I feel about this situation, and I say that as a guy
who is fat and masterful, and who has previously scorned a pro cycling
career as the curse of the lactic classes.

I'm not surprised at all. What Farrell is saying is that 80%
of USAC Road membership is age 30 or older. He's not saying
that about USAC membership overall.

I would estimates that bicycle ownership is near 100% for my
high school age kid's friends. Of that group, my kid is the
only one I am aware of that owns a road bike. A road bike is
the second bike purchased, and it doesn't happen until the
owner has resources and a desire for multiple bikes.
