Does endurance cycling help you live longer?

"Does endurance cycling help you live longer? Take one look at cycling legend Brian Robinson, and you may have your answer.
Brian, aged 83, is a bone fide British cycling legend: the first Briton to finish the Tour de France in 1956 and the first to win a Tour stage in 1958.
He still lives in the village of Mirfield in West Yorkshire, where he was brought up, and still cycles twice a week.
"I do have a healthy lifestyle," he says. "I can recommend cycling. They say it gives you an extra 10 years of life - another decade would do me fine!"
You can get a sense of just how good Robinson was from his victory in the 20th stage of the 1959 Tour de France, from Annecy to Chalon-sur-Saone."

"Across America, entrepreneurs and seasoned executives are sidelining a popular networking activity -- golf -- in favor of a different group sport.
"Unlike golf, cycling is also a great equalizer," said Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists. "You're the same as the person riding next to you. So it makes people more approachable. "
Entrepreneurs also gravitate toward cycling because it's a better way to stay in shape, said Clarke. It's also less time consuming and relatively less expensive."

"It is not fully approved or completely finalized, but a document has circulated that shows Metro’s staff recommendations for open streets events for FY2015-16. Open streets events, or ciclovías, are car-free festivals primarily for bicycling and walking, more or less the same as Los Angeles’ popular CicLAvia.
So far in L.A. County, cities, primarily the city of Los Angeles, have partnered with the CicLAvia nonprofit organization to host these events. The new Metro list shows the popular event spreading out to new cities and new neighborhoods, and new cities working with new organizational partners.
Metro has become a major sponsor for open streets events, allocating $2 million in event funding for each of the next two fiscal years, July 1st through June 30th. The agency is allocating the funding to cities that apply. Metro received about two dozen applications, ranked them, and recommended funding twelve upcoming events."

Santiago Canyon with Mike and Gary
Last Saturday Mike, Gary and I rode thru Santiago Canyon. Gary's got a full Ironman coming up in June so he needs to pack on the miles.
Although raining in some areas, the ride was awesome and we managed to pack in 70 miles.
I managed to crash 10 miles before the end. Good times.

L.L.Bean Trailblazer Ted King
Link: http://www.llbean.com/customerService/aboutLLBean/trail_blazers.html?qs=3017607&stop_mobi=yes
"Ted King believes that the simplicity of competitive cycling
makes it entirely comprehensible worldwide. "Pedal hard and first guy
across the line wins," is his boiled-down description of the sport. Ted
"got it" when he was a freshman at Middlebury college in Vermont. After
watching his older brother Robbie win the 2002 National Collegiate Road
Championship he decided to devote himself to competing on two wheels.
Pedaling hard, Ted has gone on to perform at the highest
levels of road racing. He competed in the 2013 Tour de France and is
set to ride again with Team Cannondale in 2014. Often, riders like Ted
get overlooked. His role on the team is a domestique – a rider who’s
job it is to support the team leader, from riding in front and creating
a draft, to giving up his bicycle if necessary. He has helped his team
leader to close the 2013 season with more victories than any other
World Tour rider. But unlike many support riders, Ted has also made a
name for himself and is very popular with American fans"

"In a stunning development, two-time Cyclocross World Champion Niels Albert of Belgium announced his retirement today due to a potentially life-threatening heart arrhythmia. The problem was discovered recently during a medical check-up in preparation for the 2014 cyclocross season, and confirmed during a second check. While there is no mention of which type of arrhythmia Albert has (there are several types), it is one which should allow him to lead a normal life but which places that life at risk of cardiac arrest during high intensity activities, cyclocross being exhibit A in that category.
Albert was devastated. At a news conference in Leuven, he announced his decision to the world.
"This sudden farewell for myself and my surroundings a very heavy sledgehammer. Last season was one with many ups and downs. I was eager to be there next season, with a reborn Niels Albert. A great year.""

John P is Killing it on Glendora Mountain Road
Last Saturday I rode up GMR with John P. It was my first time up there on the fixie in a few months. John P has been posting some killer times on Strava so I was a little nervous for this ride.
First, John's been doing this ride consistently with a 45 x 15 (or 14) ratio and in the 10's (mph). Second, it was my first time up on a fixed gear bike in a while and I have been struggling to post an average speed of above 10 mph.
I arrived at SM/GMR & Sierra Madre at 5:45 am. The plan was to cast off right at 6 am and I was a bit early. I could sleep. I was too eager for this ride. When John got there we quickly geared up and headed up the mountain. I hung on John's rear wheel until the first saddle. He sped off.
At the shack I new my time was going to be good. I felt strong. John uploaded his Strava data and BAM! He clocked 10.9 mph from the gate to shack! Great job!

In a later interview the photographer said that he was never in the way of the passing cyclists, but judging by their faces he was definitely a little too close for comfort. Fortunately nobody was injured, this could have easily gone terribly wrong!"

The First Flying Bicycle
Sent in from Ed C.
This is the world’s first bicycle that doubles as a flying ultralight para-trike aircraft. When the para-wing is deployed from an integrated backpack to provide lift, a powerful two-stroke gasoline engine powers the craft’s three-bladed carbon fiber propeller for an airspeed of 25 mph. Designed to cruise at low altitudes (below 4,000') with a range of approximately 75 miles from a full tank, it can operate from any suitable area of open space.

Rollers Versus Trainers - Revisted
I have rollers but am thinking about getting a trainer (AGAIN). I need to step up my game. Either I'm slowing down in my "Golden Years" or the guys I ride with are just getting faster and faster.
I am not sure if a trainer will benefit me any more than my rollers. I spoke with a guy at Incycle and he said stick to the rollers and download some training videos from www.TheSufferfest.com. I think I'll give this a try before giving up on the rollers.
*** I really enjoy the rollers and they have helped a lot. The guy at Incycle told me to save my money because, in his opinion, rollers are the way to go. My biggest concern is how to simulate climbing exercise on them.

They were "selfish, reckless, impudent transgressors of the law and trespassers upon the rights of others," the Tribune harrumphed. The newspaper described scorchers as cyclists "who delight to whirl around corners without warning and sweep down upon the unwary on a crossing, with a laugh at the alarm they cause and only a very slight fear of the police."

Now humanity can celebrate another such milestone: The sub-five-minute beer mile has been achieved."
