I am now 58...cycling for over 30 years..once rode my friend's track bike at a So Cal velodrome..realized I would most likely find myself on my ass many times if I kept doing this...haven't regretted the decision.
I also pretty much failed horseback riding, though at the time I was in a situation where I had to do it for about a year. Fell on my ass a lot.
