I'm 66 and can ride pretty much all day long at 160~170bpm, well above my 'recommended' heart rate. As you've found out, biking improves your body and apparently biking has brought yours up to where it should be.
Dave, thanks for the feedback. Cycling has made dramatic improvements in my health even in the past couple of months.
