A better question is “how has life affected my bicycling?” I always enjoyed cycling, and there were only brief periods when I didn’t own a bike. Just because I had one, didn’t mean I rode it. Between high school, and 2000, I averaged 100-200 miles per year. In 2000 I became what many call “that DUI guy”. Not really. Job loss and new mortgage forced a choice between insurance and registration, and a $250 bike. A heart attack while biking to work in ’08, bought a road bike and a really serious attitude. I have almost 2k miles this year.
