They’re about 5 years past their best-by date for playing teens.

Watching people who look like they should be knee-deep in a mortgage and two jobs going out on adventures on bikes hits a bit different.

They’re all early 20s, which is the age everyone playing a teen was until the early 2000s. We’ve just finally evolved as viewers.

I have a different theory.
There’s a big difference between casting an actor in their 20’s because they look young enough to pull off the teen thing and casting actual children in a show (finn was 14, brown was 12) who hit puberty in the middle of storytelling

If they were going to take 10 years to make a show, they should at least have had a story that spanned 10 years as well…

The older teens’ actors where in their early 20s when the show started, which isn’t too bad. Definitely not “knee-deep in a mortgage and two jobs” age.

Weren’t they driving in cars in season 5?

Don’t knock adults going out on bike adventures. My primary mode of transit is an ebike and I’ve had a lot of good adventures going on trails and roads. Unfortunately there are cars but I can’t help that.

I live next to a very popular MTB town. Everywhere I look it’s adults going out on bike adventures. It’s driving half the economy around here.
