Wait til you're old to begin a sport

After avoiding sports since childhood, I took up cycling in my 50's. To everyone's surprise, I can keep up with people who have been athletes all their lives. We joke that my advantage is that they have a lifetime's worth of sports-related injuries (bad knees, old fractures, etc).

Obviously this isn't a serious recommendation to avoid sports while you're young, but may encourage someone who thought they were too old to start.
