awe.. you might do okay now..
My friend Paul did NOT start riding a bike until he retired from teaching. When some faculty members asked him what he would do when he retired, he jokingly said, maybe take up bike riding, but I don't have a bike.
Well they gave him a GOOD bike for a retirement gift. He was 62. He is now 79 & this past year rode about 1500 miles.. The first year I knew him he was 64 & did quite a few LONG rides with me(over 75 miles in one day)..
Nothing is impossible
He never married & he was always very shy around women. He took ballroom dancing for about 20 years.. so he could have contact with women & touch them legitimately. He is a decent dancer..not natural by any means, but cuts a good figure on dance floor even at his age.
Paul was a chemistry teacher at a prep school here in NE Ohio but had a masters in chemistry & engineering. He loves kids & would have been a great dad.
