'The Midlife Cyclist' is a book which reshaped the thinking of many cyclists. Published in 2021, it is in part a scientific analysis of the inevitable changes associated with ageing. It also offers gentle encouragement on how to cope and manage these changes, to keep fit and healthy into older age.
In this podcast, the author Phil Cavell talks about the lessons he learnt through researching the book, and goes into detail about his new book The Cycling Addiction' which is due in 2025.
