I’m not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. It’s a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. There’s even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)
I’m a middle-aged cyclist (though I got into it around 20) who eschews lycra. I hate the look, the fit, and the feel. I bike in vans slip-on, running shorts, and t-shirts. At most I’ll wear chamois under the shorts. No clips for me either, flats with the peg screws forever. 90% road cyclist btw, very little mountain biking. Oh and no fitness tracker / GPS as of a few years ago. I just need as little friction as possible between being not on the bike and being on the bike. For me it translates to more fun and many more miles. These days some would call my style “xbiking”.
There are many different sorts of cycling though. Mountain biking and road cycling seem to be the two that can involve spending a lot of money on high end gear that is well suited to a mid life crisis.
I just go on bike rides to the beach on my bike that only cost mid 3 figures.
