Not a problem for me, since I faced up to a reality.
I spent my former life as a professional freerider. I rode all over the world for Devinci, Banshee bikes and Da Kine.
As I got older I had to admit it was not a viable proposition, I was carrying serious shoulder injuries and the need to earn a regular income.
Hard to face up to, but I faced it and realised I could still get my buzz riding road bikes and also back into cross country mountain bikes (which is where I got into the bigger wheels in mid 80’s after BMX racing and freestyle).
Still got the bmx and fr skills, but now with road bike fitness meaning I am ripping it up on the road bike and xc mountain bike, loving the move to a more realistic outlook whilst pushing myself harder than ever!
To all riders reading this, don’t worry, find what makes you happy and do it!
