Harrison Ford, 83, Still Sporty as Ever in Spandex Shorts as He Swaps His Plane for a Bicycle

At 83, Harrison Ford is proving that age has done little to slow him down. The legendary actor, long admired for his rugged screen presence and off-screen love of aviation, was recently spotted enjoying a different kind of ride—this time on a bicycle—showcasing his enduring athleticism and commitment to staying active well into his ninth decade.

Best known for iconic roles in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Ford was glimpsed out cycling in California earlier this week. Dressed for the task, he wore a short-sleeved shirt paired with spandex shorts that highlighted his still-toned physique. Shielding himself from the California sun with sunglasses, he completed the look with black sneakers, a helmet, and gloves—clearly prioritizing safety as well as fitness.

The outing offered a refreshing contrast to Ford’s well-documented passion for flying planes. A licensed pilot for decades, he has often spoken about the freedom he finds in the air. While his aviation hobby has occasionally made headlines for the wrong reasons, Ford remains unapologetically enthusiastic about staying active and engaged, whether on land or in the sky.

His dedication to fitness runs parallel to a career that remains remarkably busy. Ford is set to return to screens next week with the upcoming season of Shrinking, streaming on Apple TV+. The series stars Jason Segel as a grieving therapist navigating loss, while Ford delivers a widely praised performance as an older therapist living with Parkinson’s disease. The cast also includes Christa Miller and Jessica Williams.

Last year was equally packed for the actor, with the final season of the Yellowstone spin-off 1923 airing to strong interest. In the series, Ford starred opposite Helen Mirren, adding another high-profile role to a career that now spans more than five decades.

Away from work, Ford enjoys a stable and affectionate personal life. He has been married since 2010 to actress Calista Flockhart, whom he met at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards. Despite their 22-year age difference, the couple has frequently spoken about their strong bond and mutual admiration. Ford has described romantic love as something that can flourish at any stage of life—a sentiment Flockhart has echoed with warmth and humor.

Though they have never appeared onscreen together, Ford has said he would welcome the opportunity if the right project came along. For now, whether cycling through California streets or anchoring hit television series, Harrison Ford continues to embody an active, curious, and fully engaged approach to life—proving that legendary status doesn’t require slowing down.
