A $2,000 Bike vs. a $7,000 Hospital Bill: Why Cycling Is the Better Investment
Briefly

Cycling promotes physical vitality and reduces medical expenses, enhancing the quality of life at an older age. The author, aged 69, rides 30 to 50 miles daily and remains active, emphasizing that cycling has kept him feeling youthful. Despite normal aging aches, consistent cycling has led to fewer doctor visits and minimized expenses. The $2,000 investment in cycling gear has proven worthwhile through over 22,000 miles of riding, fostering strength, freedom, and overall health benefits that effectively counterbalance typical aging challenges.
Cycling hasn't just kept me moving. It's kept me young. I ride my bike 30 to 50 miles a day, walk with confidence, and still play basketball.
I spent about $2,000 on a quality bike and gear but that same $1,200 bike has now carried me more than 22,000 miles over the past five years.
Because I ride so much, I rarely go to the doctor. My medical expenses are practically non-existent. It's one of the best financial decisions I've ever made.
Cycling may not make you ageless, but it helps you age a whole lot better. My vitality comes from regular riding and moving every day.
