I started biking (as an adult) about four years ago. I was looking for an activity that hubby and I could enjoy together. He also started to ride a bike (recumbent) about that time. I started with my daughter's old mountian bike and bought my first road bike last year. I turned 59 last month. Also, I became a certified scuba diver at the age of 53. I guess this year I am going to take up kayaking since I won a beautiful new Hurricane kayak in a drawing I entered at a cross country ski event last March. Lucky me! I think that I am just trying to prove to myself that I am not too old to be doing all of these foolish things. So far it seems to be working!
