: In the 75+ age group Richard Simons set a new record yesterday.
Dumbass -
From a fitness standpoint, riding a bike @ 75 years old sounds attractive
until one considers: crashing.
People whom are that old have a tendency to break if they fall down in their
living room.
A college friend of mine's 70 year old stepfather died in a solo crash.
Dude's neck broke.
thanks,
Kurgan. presented by Gringioni.

I have far more customers alive, in their 80s, because they ride... than
I have had killed in accidents because they were old & frail.
Cycling is something you can do at a surprisingly-high level at a
surprisingly-old age, unlike most other ways of staying physically fit.
I've mentioned before that I've got a customer who's 87 years old and
still rides 130 miles/week.
I'd rather take my chances breaking a hip (a fairly common issue for
older cyclists) than waste away in a "retirement" home.

The choice doesn't have to be binary, cycling or couch potatoing.
It can be some other activity.

I'm with Mike - fuck it - we all gotta go some day.

Lawn bowling? A walk around the town square with a long rest on the bench?
No thanks. Riding a bike keeps you alive. Life goes by at exactly the right
speed on a bike. As you get older, that "right speed" goes down. Big deal.
Unless you're Lance. :-)

I have a hip flexor injury that keeps me off the bike, so I've been swimming
and surfing. They've been fun activities.

There's a 50/50 chance that it's not binary. Or, that it is. Or,
something.

By the time we're 75, you'll be able to take some dope that will make
your bones harder than stainless steel. I'm also hoping for some good
dope that will give me a VO2max at 75 that's better than it is today.
Better living through chemicals.

What do you think is the correct age to start loading up on the chemicals
due to not caring about long term side effects?
I can hardly wait. That'll be a fun day.

Most of my friends hit that age at about 16, as I recall.
