[quote=Anonymous]The reality is most people don’t recognize their own limitations or fully appreciate the risk as they age. I have not one, but two, colleagues who were hospitalized for serious injuries related to falling off a bike. These people were serious cyclists who hiked to work in DC and cycled throughout Europe. Guess what? You lose your balance as you age. It’s a fact. I know people who stopped skiing after they blew out their knee or injured their back or neck. That can happen at any age, but the people I know suffered injuries in their 50s/60s. Now they’ll be in pain for the rest of their lives. I know avid skiers who switched to cross country skiing (is that what it is called?) when they hit 50. They travel abroad to do it and seem to have fabulous trips. [/quote]
