What sort of Cyclist are YOU ?

[wafter]

Seems real to me!

I was thinking more along the lines of my seizing of any opportunity to escape my own reality for a bit by ranting into the ether

I'm not scoffing, I'm just saying how I feel. I suspect I might go down electric bike in future as an assist on hills if the time comes I struggle.
Hopefully be a long time yet.

Surely if you couldn't walk then it's likely to be more of a mobility scooter than bike but anyway.

No reason you will not be able to continue cycling in your 80s, if you keep active and look after yourself.

I didn't say anything to the contrary.

My time on the bike is limited by my caring responsibilities but I either get out on the road or punish myself on the turbo trainer at every opportunity.

Cycling is a huge beneficial part of my life as regards to my mental and physical wellbeing. What type of cyclist am I?.........An extremely wary and cautious one nowadays!

I ride a trike 20 to 35 miles every other day. I ride totally for recreation and exercise. I pretty much do NOT obey any of the "real cyclist" rules at all. My trike gives me comfort, view, and ease of use.

I'm a vertically challenged not particularly fast not particularly pleasing on the eye commuter kind of cyclist. Learnt to ride at 5 thanks to my grandad bless him and always had a bike since. Had a few years not cycling due to work and car sharing laziness on my behalf but thankfully back on the saddle since that. 5 days a week commute riding with the odd leisure ride but nothing extreme. I ride in with one of the shift lads at work when he's on days which is a good laugh plenty of close calls trying to keep up with his full susser downhill!

Im a 'retired' former fanatical cyclist, could ride an average of 18+ mph lone riding 50 mile circuits, (which isnt THAT great but not shabby either) commuting, leisure, fitness, 6000 miles pa.
Tuberculosis, pneumonia and complications took me off the bike for two years, tried to get back to fitness in 2015 but then osteoarthritis took hold..im a mere pleasure rider now, dont do many miles anymore.
Long since accepted that was then, this is now..doesn't bother me.
