I'm 55 pounds lighter than I was when I started cycling in 2000.
My doctor only checks my BP and cholesterol every three years because they are always so low.
My resting HR is ~45.
I'm MUCH healthier than any of my kids.
I'm MUCH healtheir than any of my neighbors.
I'm healthier than my doctor who is about 20 years younger than me.
I bike to work year round rather than SIT in traffic so the weight stays off and I'm not stressed when I get home.
When I go out with friends I have something different to talk about (bicycling) rather than what's in the news or sports (other than bicycle racing)
