It has contributed to my well being. Having good genes helps, too. I don’t consider myself a cyclist. I’m still surfing and the bike keeps the lower body in shape.

I know the felling of loss though as I quit snow skiing at 72. I still miss it. Cycling really helped with that.

All that being said, I’ll probably keel over tomorrow.
