Not sure if I answered in the lst place, since I'm 5 months away from 50 yrs. as of now. And topic was originally.. 50+
Face of aging and cycling.
Photo taken in 2007, when I was visiting Toronto where I used to live. I am in purple jersey. I have cycling over last 16 yrs. regularily, several times weekly.
Woman on far right in orange was 51 in that photo. She is 4'11" at approx. 98 lbs. As you can tell, she is not anorexic. Less of a cyclist now compared to when I knew her um.... 15 years ago. But she doesn't have a car, plays tennis, hikes alot. Got her folding bike Friday (a 2nd bike) and went on her own little trip via Velo Quebec routes last yr.
Woman in middle, is I think 46 yrs. She bikes regularily and has been for probably over last 18 yrs. Doesn't own a car either. She runs a walking and cycling trips company for past decade. So she does alot of walking..
The diets of these women are probably similar to mine....we're all Canadian born, have some dairy in our diets, but at least 40% of our diets are Asian...or more for each of us. The other women have each done several solo, loaded bike trips 1-2 wks, long over the last few years.
