It's a shame that when a middle aged man decides to persue a new interest he is considered to be having some kind of mid life crisis. I've been cycling for most of my life and have been riding motorbikes for 31 years but am now seen as somebody who is having some kind of psychological issues. I took up rock climbing in my mid 30s and now, close to 50, hope to take up canoeing, horseriding and several other persuit. It's not about age, it's about having the opportunity and when in life that opportunity comes along. I intend to continue to try new things for as long as I can, some of which I have had an interest in from a very young age.
