And bicycling for transportation purposes is one of the best options for combating climate change.

Also, I guess it is because I am trying to stress green living more and more these days.

Lady in Her "Very Late '70s" Still Bicycling, and Loving It {VIDEOS}
Here’s another great biking story. I covered and shared a video of perhaps the oldest living bicyclist in the world, Octavio Orduno, who bikes nearly every day at the age of 103, a couple months ago. Now, here’s another great one of an “aging” cyclist.
