Cycling for Life: Tips for Riding into Your Golden Years.

Cycling is a great sport that can be enjoyed at any age. However, as we age, our bodies undergo changes that can affect our cycling performance. To counteract these changes, cyclists over 40 should add in resistance training, such as running or gym work, to preserve muscle mass and bone density. In your 50s, it becomes crucial enough to replace some riding. In your 60s, it's time to adjust your diet too. In your 70s, keep riding – sensibly and safely – for as long as you want to.
