He lived to be 101 too. There's probably a lesson in that.

That's an impressive lifespan and accomplishment. Did the cycling bump his lifespan or did he have a good genetics to begin with?

As I heard it, I’d you want to live to 80, you should eat right, exercise regularly, and not smoke. If you want to live to 100, you need to have the right grandparents and can live however you like.

I recently heard the Economist interview Henry Kissinger. He is soon 100.

You can't live to 101 without proper genetics. Sport when not overdone improves the quality of life but is not likely to prolong it in any significant way.
