Hi
You have promoted this theme of "act your age" in a couple of posts recently.

FYI, some of us (that's me at almost 66yo) have absolutely no problem with low back problems, neck pain, prostate and wrist pain on our DF's (Diamond Frame Bikes), even though some of us ride 150 miles per week or more.
Sorry about your situation and all your troubles with pain and prostate. Glad you found a solution to your severe health problems.

I am glad you love your recumbent and advocate so continuously for it!
Have a great day!
