From inactivity to inspired - a transformation story

🚴‍♂️ The Transformation Journey

Cycling Over Sixty is meant to provide information and inspiration for anyone wanting to get and stay fit later in life. Tom Butler uses his own journey toward fitness as an example of what is possible by committing to healthy lifestyle practices.

The Turning Point: After decades of inactivity and poor health choices, Tom took on a major cycling challenge at age 60. After successfully completing that challenge and seeing the impact on his health, he determined to never go back to his old way of living.

Tom is sharing the triumphs and challenges of his journey to live a healthy life, proving that it's never too late to start your fitness transformation.

New in 2025

In the spring of 2025, Cycling Over Sixty added a focus on building local communities. Starting in Tacoma, Washington, we're developing a collaborative model for giving people an in-person support network.

Our Community Goals:

  • Promote the bicycle as a device to achieve more vibrant living
  • Foster connections between like-minded individuals
