Started at age 60 and now 66, love being out on my bike! Everyone also asked me why I was taking such a risk of injury at my age and I always tell them I use extreme caution and besides it’s worth it vs becoming old and sedentary! Helps with balance issues and so many problems of older age and you get the benefit of a new mode of transportation. I’ve been a runner on/off throughout my life and this is WAY more fun and the cycling community is full of fun and happy people out pursuing their passion for riding….plan to ride as long as I can!
I started when I was 33, an year back. The best decision I've ever made. But as people say, cycling is not cheap... It's expensive if we want it to be 😉
You have inspired I am 68 years old just got over Cancer and now have been given a Bike .....so I am off like you thanks so much for the video regards from Australia
Thank you for sharing! I'm 42, looking to take my life in a different direction... And cycling is at the top of my list! Can't wait😄😄😄. Continue to ENJOY your rides💜.
I am happy to see someone who started as late as did. I used to ride bikes when I lived in the Caribbean. A few months ago I discovered my passion again. I am so glad I did.
Thankyou for sharing. It is inspirational. I just started my cycling journey at the age of 44 and loving it. I look forward to hearing more of your story.
I'm 65 & I ride as much as I can, mostly off road trails. Yes, uphills are a bear but once you get to the downhill side & zoom down that hill that's as close to feeling 15 again as you can get!!!
Thanks for sharing, my experiences is very similar to yours (also down to the almost meditative experience), such a freedom. I started cycling again at age 53 after a pause of about 16 years. I could not be happier! Today I cycled to my work and back, almost 50km that keeps me going and it beats being stuck in traffic or being packed in a subway train!
Started back at 65 now 67 having not rode for 45 years what made it happen was being told I was type 2 diabetic! I bought a bike cut out carbs and just this weekend I did 45 miles of road .The diabetes only lasted 3months as I dealt with it and didn’t need to take tablets ,yes it’s great it’s great for the heart and it’s very addictive 🚴♂️👌🇬🇧
You are a man after my own heart! I rediscovered cycling a few years ago just before I turned 60, and these days you can't keep me off my bike. The feeling of accomplishment is fantastic. I've always told people interested in exercise and health to find something they like doing, and keep doing it. That way it's fun, not an awful grind. Cycling -- even on the smart trainer -- does that for me. Plus, who doesn't like tinkering with their bike. Endless hours of joy! Cheers
The key word is passion, as you pointed out. It is the the nr.1 factor regardless of what it is you do. The enjoyment you get out of doing something inspires you to keep on doing it. Ride and enjoy.
A family member aged 75 just had her first try at cycling. She's got serious back issues and now uses a walking stick so she tried a semi-recumbent tricycle which she enjoyed.
Very cool I am 60 and have been on and off bikes since I learned to ride one at 7.Same story always thought to busy. Two years ago I finally bought a mid quality used trail/mountain bike and am looking to upgrade that one. Now semi retired I spend my days off exploring the vast trails in my home provinces of Alberta and British Columbia Canada and have an awesome partner who faithfully follows along 🐕wherever the trails take us. hope to spend more time in coming winters riding in warmer climates. I do plan to spend whatever years I have left riding repairing and trail building. Cheers if you see some old guy on a black and orange TREK with a tan and sometimes a 🐶spotty dog following along do say hello
Great inspiring video just out of interest why did you choose a hybrid bike over a road bike , I’m in march going to buy a new bike and can’t decide whether to buy a hybrid or a road bike
If you're over 40 and not cycling regularly you're doing your self a big disservice. It can be fun, helps control blood pressure, blood sugar, tones your body, boosts your mood, not as stressful as running and you can make friends who share similar hobbies. Soon you will find yourself needing less medication. The cost of cycling equipment actually pays for itself in the long run. I lost 15 lbs through cycling.

Sir, are you on strava? I would love to follow you. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Cheers
If you have the opportunity, try mountain biking, but take it easy at first.
I startet with 67…
Someone please explain how anyone STARTS cycling at 50. Parents never bought the kid a bike?
