Very inspirational! I'll be 80 in a few years and hope to still be turning pedals at 90 also. But whatever, its already been a great ride.

Grow up, bikes are for people in their late 60's, I thought everyone knew that?
I've been embarrassed for some friends my age and younger, who can barely throw a leg over my bike when I offer to let them ride it, that is sad.You have the right idea, and I bet you get many comments from your contemporaries!
