then 50 is the new 30. That would make 65 the new 50.
So it's all good.
Add "-cycle regularly on a non-electric bike"

"have sex every day or at least every couple of days"
I qualified for the geezer thread a few months ago.
Not in great shape but not all that bad either -- reasonable weight, and good joints. I have been cycling more or less daily this year, often 10-15 miles at a time, and notice what a big effect it has on how I feel. It's a really great form of aerobic exercise, which is really important to keep up as you push into geezerhood.
