Of course it matters.
If the old cyclists are just genetically superior, then prescribing 100 mile bike rides to frail old people might be damaging, rather than transforming them into disease-resistant superhumans.
- nradov 9y agoDon't be ridiculous. No physician or trainer would prescribe a century ride to a frail old person. That's something you have to work up to. But if they start with something easier then some of them will eventually stop being frail, and start being capable of completing long rides.
- wukerplank 9y agoWhy would you prescribe a 100 mile ride to an old person? My point was that living a long and fairly healthy life is a day to day project, not a pill you take once you hit 70.
