You know you're getting old when..........

This morning I got passed by a guy with a cast on his leg who was pedaling with one foot.

Reminds me of something I heard years ago. A friend who was going to school in Boston had a sprained ankle and found it difficult to get from dorm to class on crutches. Tried the trip on his bike, strapping a crutch to the side for the other end of the trip. Problem solved. ;)

...when you no longer feel the need to chase down the guy who just blew by.

Haha! love it. I remember when I always HAD to be going top speed. At a certain age you just stop caring and start enjoying yourself.

I wonder if that guy was trying to catch Aaron Bussey (to win the "fastest in cast" catergory) . sorry couldn't resist.

Reminds me of when a guy with one leg (and one pedal on the bike to match) just FLEW by me on the North Branch Trail. I'm built for comfort, not for speed.

When I lived in Uptown I used to see a guy in a wheelchair that he powered with a couple of handles connected to the wheels by cranks, looked home made. This guy used to go like Hell down Sheridan.

either?  I don't have a biking story just yet, but I can add that I passed early on by a pregnant lady speedwalking when I ran the half marathon a few years ago....

My morning commute has gone from 22 minutes to around 27. That's when I knew I was gettin old.
