I introduced a guy to cycling last year. He hadn't ridden at all since he was a kid riding his BMX to school. He was an occasional runner and basketball player, but other than that had very little exercise over the past 2 decades.
Fast forward 1 year from taking up the bike. He has now left me in the dust and hardly even slows down to ask if I want him to wait for me. He's definitely a natural endurance athlete. I'm happy for him as he really enjoys the sport, and really, its good for me too, as riding with stronger riders makes me all the stronger.
