Loving the Bike Has No Age Boundaries

A couple weeks ago, I found this picture on Facebook.  It was posted by Allen Beuchamp, but more than likely shared by countless cyclists across the web.

Loving the Bike has no age boundaries

I’m still not sure what I think of social media, and as I said once before….it does not define you.  But I do love seeing great photos like this one posted each and every day.

As soon as I saw it, the words “Loving the Bike Has No Age Boundaries” popped into my head.  I can’t think of a better image to show how true this really is.

I absolutely love this picture.  In about 40 years from now, we’re going to hold a Loving the Bike meet up race and get a photo just like this one to spread around the world.  Who’s going to be there with me for that?

Grandpa Loving the Bike

I can’t help but think of my Grandpa when I see a photo like the one at the top.  He’s likely the reason for my love of cycling and I once wrote about how “Grandpa LovingtheBike” continued to ride until he was 93.

Enjoy Your Ride

    I hope I’m still riding at that age. This past April, I rode the Red Poppy Ride in Georgetown, TX. One of the many sponsors was the Sun City TX Cyclists. It was great to see so many “old” folks out on their bikes, many of them passing me.

    I keep looking at old people on bikes then realize I’m one of them

  • Roger

    Keep on riding.

  • Nick

    I’ll definitely be one of those old guys riding a bike when I get to that age.

  • The Early Morning Cyclist

    What’s NOT to love about that image!

    I hope (and plan) to still be spinning a pair of wheels at that age. More power to anyone who values cycling as a lifelong love.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean ”lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
