As far as the bike goes it's taken quite a bit of technique adjustment and concentration to get to the point where I can ride pretty much without angina. I am not breaking any speed records, but as some of the guys have pointed out, most people our age can't do this at all!
An oldy but a goody is..."your only as old as you feel" kinda like mind over matter...the mind is possibly the most powerful medicine of all,combine it with positive attitude and you will hardly ever get sick!
A bold statement but try it and see if i'm not right.In my case no colds flu's or illnesses of any kind since my attack.Probably should fess up to the fact that I'm only in my early 40's so my short aquaintance with death has really made me look at this kind of stuff from a new angle,my kid helps too.
