"Mountain bike riding is excellent cross training for road riding. Taking a break from the road and hitting the dirt can revive waning enthusiasm and improve your overall fitness. If you're tired

Bicycling Is for Seniors

Bicycling stories from active elders

by Bonnie Allen

Do you want a low-impact, aerobic

workout that strengthens your legs

and knees and can help you lose

pounds and stay a healthy weight? According to Patrick McCormick, bicycle enthusiast and spokesperson for the League of American Bicyclists, a 150-pound cyclist pedaling 12 miles an hour can burn off 410 calories—about what’s in a McDonald’s quarter pounder.  More and more seniors are taking to the roads on two wheels, and recent legislation supports their efforts.

Are more seniors riding bikes?

“Definitely,” says senior bike advocate Bernie Album, 72. “I meet a lot more people than I ever did before.”  Album is actively involved in the annual Bike-to-Work Day. His design for a sign advising riders to ride on the right side of the road was adopted by the Petaluma Police Department, and he created a bicycle resource for COTS (Committee on the Shelterless) clients struggling to enter the work force.
