I'm 58 and bike 9 miles to work most days. My primary care physician is just a mile from my office, so I ride there. They make a big deal out of it when there's snow. He says I'm in good shape but have a little too much body mass for a daily rider. I just ask him to imagine what I'd look like without the riding.
