Strength training past 50 for cyclists by Wayne L. Westcott, PhD, CSCS and Thomas R. Baechle, EdD, CSCS
Bicycling is a truly amazing aerobic activity that can be performed and enjoyed by a large percentage of older adults.

However, the additional weight of the cycle renders uphill riding much more physically demanding than uphill walking or running.
This is one reason why all cyclists, and especially older cyclists, should perform strength training.
