I liked that "I want to die on my bike when I'm in my 90's." My husband and I have said the same thing. We both have medical "things" and that does not stop us. My husband had 2 stents put in last year and was riding 5 days later. A month after that we were on a tour in Europe and climbing 15% hills. Despite the fact that he has cardiovascular disease because of the crappy genetics on both sides of his family, THEY all told him to "never ride your bike again." Well, if hadn't been riding and exercising regularly, he would have never been aware of the symptoms of his blocked arteries. He would have just had a heart attack one day when he got off of the couch. I've had allergies, asthma, and various weird viral/autoimmune issues for years. I just live through it. It's a lot better now than it has been in years and I am 52. It's getting to the point that I don't have much in common with my non cycling friends. I make a special effort to still be friends with them, but they really don't understand why I have to ride,
