I have real concerns about my 70+ and 80+ year old friends still riding bicycles. Can’t seem to convince them they are a nanosecond away from serious injury which will drastically alter their mobility. The risk reward ratio is not on their side. At 79 mobility is extremely important to me. I walk in our community botanical gardens 5 miles 5 days a week. Yeah it’s not near as much fun as Mountain Biking or Skiing was , but gives me a lot better chance of being mobile for as long as possible. I should be in the Gym too , but I hate the smell so there’s some hypocrisy there.
