That’s exactly right. If you enjoy going slow. Go slow. My parents regularly rode bikes into their 70’s. They were part of a group called the turtles whose motto was ‘if you can’t ride slow, it’s not worth riding’. They would go out and do 20-30 miles ( sometimes more), but all at a very casual pace.
That's awesome! Unfortunately we lost my mother in law in a bicycle accident (unwitnessed) in north Georgia....they also were in a large club and they loved riding and would probably be riding today! One of the nice things about cycling is that you can pick your pace and can either be social time or fitness time! I have friends that I ride with once in a blue moon and they always come out super strong so I know that they are going to be dragging evenutally and then our conversations can begin! Our area here has so many great places to ride with limited vehicular traffic...It was great to read back through this thread!
Thanks, I'll keep riding as long as I'm able.
Man, the first half a dozen times I rode I thought the same thing and my butt was as numb as a tree stump. When you start riding those bicycle seats feel like medieval torture devices. lol
Did you have a routine for ordering new running shoes?
Go for it, anything is better than nothing. It's a great time of year to get out and ride. Good luck.
Hope your wife is recovering nicely.
