How long will you continue cycling?

its also what anyone else with some common sense would do.

103-year-old tricyclist in Long Beach. He appears to be made of some purified form of 531 Awesome™

What if - say for example - you turned 60 this year and were eligible for the Oyster Plus free travel on buses/trams/tube /rail/river crossing etc - how tempting is that ?

and you still have to get to work.

I'm 65 now, so had a Freedom pass for 5 years now. I carried on cycling to work until I retired earlier this year and will continue to use the bike over public transport - no contest! (The pass is handy, though, if I'm going somewhere I wouldn't want to leave a bike unattended).

The average Audaxer is 55 years old; by which time my daughter will have left home (ha!), I'll have paid off my mortgage and my wife will probably have retired.

No chance I'll stop.

I would like to go on cycling as long as I live but am only too aware that aging affects different bodies in different ways and one day my aches and pains may develop and conspire to render me immobile. Until that time, I shall enjoy cycling one day at a time as though each day was my last.

He seems to have fun:

When my knees go I'll get a geared bike, when my strength goes I'll get a carbon bike, when my eyesight goes I'll get a tandem, when my balance goes I'll get a trike, when my memory goes I'll get lost a lot...

lol..

I thought it was going to end with "...I'll get a car."

Unfortunately, this is what has gone wrong first for one of our cycling legends. The legs and eyes remain fine, but Alzheimers has severely curtailed his riding.

Rep :)

How tempting? Not at all.

I may feel differently if cycling is much harder when my body is 60 yo, but if I had a free pass for all public transport now, I would not use it any more.

I worry that stopping cycling may rapidly develop aches and pains and conspire to render me immobile .
I'm with spudger - I'll use my Freedom pass for the same reason I need to use public transport now and every time I have to use public transport I am reminded of one of the reasons why I cycle.

My Dad had Parkinsons but managed to cycle.
Seemed to calm down once on a bike.
