Ride Smart, Stay Healthy: A Midlife Road Map for Cyclists 40+

Phil Cavell, Gerardo Capiel & Derek Gehl
April 22, 2026 11:00 AM PT 02:00 PM ET

A lot of what we’ve been told about cycling and aging – what’s safe, what’s smart, what’s possible after 40 – is overdue for an update.

Host Derek Gehl brings together two of the most compelling voices on midlife cycling: Phil Cavell, co-founder of Cyclefit London and author of The Midlife Cyclist, and Gerardo Capiel, former Google executive turned cycling guide and founder of Vine Trail Adventures in Napa Valley. Between them, they’ve got the biomechanics, the lived experience, and enough to bust a few myths along the way.

Whether you’re a serious rider, thinking about getting back on the bike, or just bought an e-bike and aren’t sure where to start — this one’s for you.
