Those cycling miles can really add up if you keep at it. Consider Dudley Boycott. He rides just 10 to 12 miles a day when the weather is nice, but he's logged about 25,000 miles in the past 13 years.
Now 82, the Maryland resident tells the Dundalk Eagle that he started riding on doctor's orders. Boycott had diabetes and the doctor told him to exercise, an order he never forgot.
Boycott says the exercise helped rid him of diabetes, and now he rides his Schwinn because he enjoys getting out. He doesn't ride in the rain or when the mercury drops into the 30s.
“Bicycling is easy. You just go out and do it,” he told the newspaper.
Yep, like Nike says, “Just do it.”
