How long will you continue cycling?

My mother is a nurse and has a patent who is part of a Tandem couple. In their 70s would do day trip rides of 80 mile RT to go for a coffee, ride several times a week, lyrcaed up riding everywhere apparently. They would come into the surgery on the tandem. Then a few months ago husband became ill and went from active to dead in only a few weeks. Apparently the now windowed women has stopped riding. Sad but understandable.

She probably never really liked it and was just humouring him :-)

When I'm too old to sit on a saddle.... I'm getting a recumbent trike.

I'd like to think, like the man in the story above, there will be a very short gap between not being able to cycle and death! :)

(just realised that sounds kinda morbid, but I mean that cycling so late in life would be good)
