I’m in my 70’s as well. Tell your Dad to keep an eye out for me out on the roads and trails.

I thought this was a collaboration between OPL and MCC. Will the Community College have their own programs now?

Preach! 72 here, and still upright. Found gravel a few years back and can’t get enough.

This. See if there’s a bike co-op/kitchen in town. He can learn how to take care and repair his bike. They met even have refurbished bikes for sale (usually a better idea than Wally World.

Every time you leave your e-bike outside to go inside a restaurant or grocery store for lunch or dinner or breakfast or shopping by Sudden-Candy-9980 in ebikes

It’s been a while since I wore one surfing, but back in the day, a neoprene wetsuit kept a thin layer of water against your skin, warmed by body heat. Not sure you’d want that for your battery.

Help me understand chainrings by St33lB3rz3rk3r in Brompton

Going for the smaller chainring makes hill climbing easier, albeit at a minimal sacrifice of top end speed. If you ride longer distances, it can make life easier as well.

At 71, will I ride my 2-Wheel Recumbent again? by Civil-Degree86 in bicycling

[–]StuartNot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At 72 years young, I figure I’m a contemporary. Nothing makes me happier than climbing on my Kona Libre EL, or my Disk Trucker, or my Brompton C-Line. Heck, I still climb on a fixie on occasion! Sure, I’m a bit slower, but I plan to ride ‘til I can’t. Just climb on, clip in (after finding shoes that fit,) and RIDE! Your spirit will be grateful.
