    Isn't 60 fast enough? :wink::lol:
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    You first have to push on the gas pedal. Then the speed will go up to 65 and even higher if you like. Welcome to the 60's. It's just like you remember it.

    To get fast you must ride at a high intensity in training. How much you do and how hard you train depends on what base you are starting from. IMO at 60 and from a low base you need to commence on a 6 month bulding programme of riding before attempting hard maximum efforts.

    There's an old saying: "If you don't try to ride faster, you'll never ride faster."

    I'll be 68yo in September; I'm just thankful/grateful that I can ride 35-45m at 16-18mph and not collapse :) I buggered up my left knee in December; tore the cartllage, water-on-the-knee and was also diagnosed with arthritis of the left knee... Cycling is o.k., but long walks make me bring out the ice pack for 30-40 minutes.... Complain?? Heck no, some people can't cycle at all :)
