    That is awesome! Gives me hope of many years of cycling yet to come.

    There's a 90 year old rider in my group. He led a ride about 3 years ago. The group now has another ride at a slower pace, to accommodate several 75+ year old riders. And these riders are all on regular road bikes or hybrids.
    It really is quite amazing.

    What is interesting like him and that Chinese woman who still cycled in her 80's (she was featured somewhere over a year ago), they cycle in their walking shoes and all.

    That is so cool! Living to a ripe old age and being able to stay healthy and active--that's how I want to end up.

    Yep, I want to be the slightly eccentric old lady riding her bike (or trike if need be) to the grocery store to get her groceries, with a bouquet of cut flowers overflowing from my basket. That vision of old age just makes me smile.
