About Cycling Over Sixty
The Cycling Over Sixty Podcast is for anyone who wants to get fit and stay active later in life. The show is built on a simple idea: if exercise is medicine, the bicycle is a medical device for delivering it. Host Tom Butler uses his own journey to show what’s possible. After decades of inactivity and poor health choices, Tom took on a major cycling challenge at age 60 when he rode Seattle to Portland. Finishing it changed his health and his outlook, and he decided never to go back to his old way of living. Four STPs later, he’s still riding, and he’s honest about both the wins and the setbacks. That includes personal bests, stretches when work pulls him off the bike, his ongoing work on weight and blood sugar, and the experiments he runs on himself along the way. Guests include researchers, physicians, bike builders, adventurers and everyday riders. They share what they know about fitness, longevity and life on the bike. Some topics come out of Tom’s own journey, and others come from the growing Cycling Over Sixty community. Season five interviews focus on three areas: The science of the bike as a medical device. What cycling does for the body and brain later in life, and the research Tom is helping build with Dr. Gary McCall, university partners and Outride. The group ride as a public health intervention. This includes the Cycling for Active Aging Network’s work to reach adults 55 and older who aren’t active. The modern bike club. How a local club can be one of its community’s most valuable partners through social connection, civic engagement and advocacy, and by making your area a better place to ride. If you’re looking for motivation, expert insight and an honest story of someone figuring it out as he goes, Cycling Over Sixty is for you. Remember, age is just a gear change.
