Bike Life

Biking Beyond Sixty


Listen Later

Lisa Watts takes us on an epic 3,000-mile journey from Florida to Maine via the East Coast Greenway. Along the way, she embraces life's simplicity and the enriching experiences found in unexpected moments on the road, from the practicalities of wider bike tires and the comfort they provide to the wisdom gained in balancing adventure with safety.

Lisa teaches us the importance of enjoying the journey rather than strictly adhering to completion. Reflecting on the metaphorical bridges crossed, she invites us to consider how cycling adventures can be a metaphor for approaching life's transitions, showcasing the profound insights that come with viewing aging as a chapter filled with freedom and vitality.

Catch up with Lisa on her blog at Minding the Miles and get her book, Crossing Bridges, What Biking Up the East Coast Taught Me About Life After 60. Learn more about the East Coast Greenway at Greenway.org.
