@jc76 that is what I was told for a bout 8 yrs ( when I got my physical from about 2014 onward) - "dont worry about PSA /Prostate cancer..if you get it and are over 65, they usually dont even treat it !"

Also a bike rider ( just 2-3 mi neighborhood rides usually x 2-3 times daily)

Exactly what was being told to us men.

And you know the same comments remain like, "you will die from something else." How does any doctor know when you are going to die or the risk and aggressive level of PC without biopsies AND the follow up test that give a better risk level to patient and doctor (Decipher, PSMA, etc.)

You ride 2-3 times a day and 2-3 miles. So you are getting some good miles there. I find bike riding just makes me smile like I was a young boy again.

Hay as I get older getting hard to train for those Sprint Triathlons. The are usually only 12-15 miles but I try to train for them doing 20 miles with added weights on my bike. After my PC I find myself just wanting to take my hybrid bike out and do a liesure and comfortable ride.
