This photograph perfectly encapsulates growing old.

When I was younger, I could never conceive myself being too exhausted to do anything, yet I'm slowly but surely becoming an old man. I have to take breaks, my back is beginning to ache, I sweat too much, and I'm sure my dick will refuse to remain hard sooner rather than later.

Growing old is a drag.

At 40 I still bike 100 to 200 miles a week, it is my primary mode of transport and my only mode of transport other than my feet, and I work a physically demanding job. Sure I got aches and pains and feel the injuries of my youth, but you are just giving in because it is easy.

>>19144461
The bulk of the aches and pains of age are just caused by loss of muscle mass, letting the joints take the load. You stay active and don't let the muscle mass decrease and guess what, the muscles support the joints and much of the pain goes away. Stay active and quality of life does not decrease.

It takes time, I developed sever arthritis in my knees as a teenager as a result to injury, took a couple years of biking but now I barely notice my knees anymore, just some at season changes.

Since you think biking only exercises legs and heart it is safe to say that you are doing it wrong. Your core supports you, not your arms, people who bike a great deal have six packs for a reason and it is not because they are doing situps every morning, ab/back muscles get a great workout when you ride proper. Arms just stabilize. Go fixed gear, pick a gear ratio that makes you work, high rpm on the flats, struggling to get up the hills, down hill wants to throw you over the bars, it will get you into shape and work your entire body. Ignore what people say about rear breaks on fixed gear, they are great things and the best way to control speed since it trains your legs to pedal the same speed as the wheel is turning. Learn about fit and setup or have a bike shop take care of that and learn about proper riding posture.

Arms do miss out on the workout, they get enough to stay healthy but not much more. I took up wood working with hand tools to deal with that. Gyms depress me, I can get my workout why enjoying life.

>Never said any such thing.

I'm no pro cyclist, but I've been riding for years. I have an old Italian 10 speed from the 80s that enjoy immensely. I really do need to find some specialized workouts for my back, though.

Seriously, try fixed gear, whole new level of work out. And stay in the saddle when you climb hills, if your bike actually fits you and is properly setup and you are not supporting yourself with your arms, your back and abs will get a work out. Your entire body will be like rubber and exhausted after a week of hard ridding on a fixed gear. Since your bike is from the 80s there is a good chance it has horizontal drop outs so you can just get a second chain and rear wheel to convert it to fixed.

Wood working with hand tools is great from the entire upper body including back, and unlike the gym it results in something more.

I ain't riding no fixie, pal. I like my 10 speed and I always push myself when riding--even when I really shouldn't since I'll get all sweaty.

Wood working does sound like a nice hobby to pick up. I enjoyed redoing my deck this summer and could stand to learn more about building things with it.

Why not? This is an image thing, isn't it. No matter how much of a workout you think you are getting there is no comparison, there is a reason many pros use them for training. You will be surprised at how much you actually coast and how often your pedaling rate drops below that of the wheel rotation.

>> No.19148382

>>19148369
I use toe clips already and I don't coast unless I'm coming up to a stop/need to be going slow since there are pedestrians around. When I'm on the road I don't coast.

>We invented freehubs for a reason.
Yes, to make it easier, and fixed gears never stopped being made or used despite the invention of freehubs. On a coaster bike you get up to speed and then pedal slightly below rate so you are just putting in enough energy to maintain speed, you can not do that on a fixed gear. And I guarantee you also coast when cornering and probably when riding through bumps. With fixed gear your primary speed control are your legs, not brakes/coasting, you back pedal to slow, this takes great strength and the entire body, brakes are just for quick stops. You can never go faster than you can pedal, on a coaster this routinely happens and is essentially coasting. You don't know what you are talking about because you have never ridden them, from the standpoint of workout, there is no comparison between the two and toe clips are not even an approximation. Just admit that you are hung up on the fixie image and that is the real reason.

>I just really don't like the practical limitations of a fixed gear bicycle.
Then why did you fixate on everything else? The practical limitations are gone after a month of regular riding. Anything under 20 miles is nothing, won't even notice it until you get up to about 40 mile rides, but you will notice how much easier gears are and how much less you work even when pushing yourself hard when you get back on that 10 speed. Gears are great and I would never go pure fixed, but there is no comparison between the two as far as workout is concerned, 20 miles of hard riding on a fixed gear is like 100 miles of hard riding with gears, 50 if you just left it in the same gear.

I really am aching a lot more despite being pretty active. Volunteered at a food pantry to make boxes of food for seniors ~2 weeks ago and I thought I was going to collapse from my slowly aching back.
