Are you starting cycling in your 40s or 50s? Or getting back into cycling after years away? In this video, I reveal what the big cycling brands don’t tell you. You do not need an expensive bike, a carbon race machine, or a top-end e-bike to enjoy the freedom of cycling. All you need is a bike that works, fits you well, and gets you outside. I also talk about the real challenges of cycling as we get older, including slower healing times, injury risks, and the importance of riding smarter, not harder. Cycling in your 40s and 50s is about building consistency, rediscovering the joy of riding, and making your health a priority without falling into the expensive marketing trap. In this video you will learn: • How to start cycling in your 40s and 50s without breaking the bank • Why big bike brands push expensive bikes and what you actually need • How aging impacts cycling recovery and injury prevention • Practical tips for getting back into cycling after 40 • How to ride smarter, stay consistent, and have more fun If you are a beginner cyclist over 40, someone returning to cycling later in life, or just want honest cycling advice without the sales pitch, this video is for you.
