had a friend here at work that rode every day up until
he retired at 76 and was still riding up until a few months
before he passed at the age of 83, his commute was 35 miles
one way and he would ride all year round.

a guy i meet up with just about every sunday morning just
turned 70 and doesn't look it, i like to think that its the riding
that keeps us young.

I better still be riding at 73; I just started and I'm 40 so I have a lot of miles to make up for.

I will turn 69 years of age next month. I have been riding since 1949. It will be a horrible day in my life when I can no longer ride. I still have the thrill every time I straddle my bike.

It eliminates the limited movement that occurs when your panties get all bunched up whenever someone says that you are riding a girls bike.

My cousin has one of those and loves it. He thinks its funny that people get to off road site and start unloading the bike out of truck or trailer. He simply jumps the curb and he's on the trail.
