I'm 75...fortunate to have engaging hobbies and very good health.

75 is the new 55. Unless you are Ruth Bader Ginsburg then 85 is the new 95, or if you are diabetic Sonia Sotomayor then 65 is the new 85. Just ask the other people here.

My wife and I were both very competitive athletes in our younger years. We still like to tandem bicycle ride especially. The funny thing is... most the other cyclists we see on the bike paths and country roads are middle aged or well beyond. Young people these days seem to be less adventurous and very inactive compared to people who were young adults in the 60s, 70s and 80s. And they are a whole lot fatter than we were as well.

Me and my wife are going on a two day bike trip that will take us 48 miles this summer, and hopefully I will make the trip both ways by myself later in the year in 3 days. The feeling of the wind at 25 self propelled MPH is amazing.
