 That's inspiring! 

Great story, I am going to get a bike. I used to do mountain biking all over even up in Canada in places I am afraid to even think of now. But as I get older my old body will not take that much abuse. I used to run 6 miles every day, but now after two knee surgeries, I can not pound them like that anymore.

But hopefully before the summer is over, I am going to get a bike and do moderate cycling around here. There are some real great bike paths on old rail road lines that have been converted that run for like 40 miles or more. Thanks for posting gets me fired up to do it.   

 forget the knobbies of  a MTN bike and convert to the slicks of a good Roadie!

 Hey there Larry,
I think it would be safer for me to get an adult three wheeler and really spruce it up with psychedelic colors and peace signs so I don't look totally like a dork.  I don't trust my balance anymore. I would like to find a group of adults in my area who ride three wheelers so people don't feel sorry for me as they drive by. hahahahaha I have to find the humor in this because I can so totally see me doing this! If you do go riding don't forget your helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, shin pads, butt pads, gloves for your palms, you know!!!!  Love you Larry!  :)  

That was great-very inspiring.

Thanks for sharing

 That is a fantastic story and inspires me to ride even harder and longer :)  Thanks Paul

 Very inspiring!

That's funny.  He moved to Portland, Oregon because it's the biking capital of the world.  That's where I live.  I know there are a lot of biking trails around here.  I bought a bike last year and fixed it up the way I like it, cruiser handlebars, road tires, padded seat, baskets on the front and rear.  I love riding it but not when it's cold, wet or windy, lol.  I have put on a little over 100 miles in about 9 months, which for me is awesome.  I love riding when it's nice out so as the weather continues to warm up I'll be on it more.
