Hello to you bi-peds!
Just joined a week ago. Am 62, just retired, have rhumatoid arthritis and a leaky heart valve. Rx?: Get on a bike and ride! I love it, rain or shine. I live in Espoo, Finland, where paved, lighted and well maintained bike paths abound. Am learning so much already from you all.

Hello Mad Dog, one of the moderators here, Juha, lives in Finland :) .

So what kind of bike did you get for your rx?

Welcome to BF!

Welcome Dave.

Old?? What's that?
I'll be 63 next month and I'm not old. Cycling keeps me young. :beer:
