I have no idea, but I wonder if forums will still be the preferred communication for the group in 14 years when I get to the right age to post in that thread...

Hah, stole my Depends topic Tom, but that was my guess for the 65+ers and why they wanted to keep it among themselves. Oh! And denture adhesives. Hemorrhoid creams are, of course, an open topic for all bicycle enthusiasts.

I guess I can lie about my age and post in this thread. After all, I'm still celebrating the anniversary of my 50th birthday and haven't actually reached 65 yet:p

Save your money on hemorrhoid creams. Get a recumbent instead. :recum::thumb:

Prostates. Or "prostrates" as they are frequently called.

I've been lurking. They set up a rules committee. And then went to bed. Tomorrow there's a workshop on how to use a tip calculator.

you'll have to submit that discussion topic to the 65+ Steering Committee.

Only problem is you can't post it.

Let's tell 65+ jokes!

The Nursing Home

At the Nursing Home a man took his elderly father to a nursing home to check it out. He sat his father down on a sofa in the main aisle way and went to talk with the administrators.

The old man started to tilt slowly toward the left. A Doctor came by and said, "Let me help you." The Doctor piled several pillows on the left side of the old man so he would stay upright.

The older man started to tilt slowly to the right. An orderly noticed and put several more pillows on his right side to keep him upright.

The old man started to lean forward when a nurse came by and piled several pillows in front of him. About this time, the son returned.

"Well, Dad, isn't this a nice place."

The old man replied, "I guess it's ok, but they won't let me fart."

Someone was trying to negotiate a senior discount for pie.

Someone else mistakenly thought you had to have more than 65 bikes to join.

The rules committee has had to reschedual all attempts at having a successful meeting to earlier in the day.

Bicycle parking has been installed next to the penny slots.

Bingo is the official call when one gets clipped in.

The sports drink of choice is Geritol.

Spandex is used to make socks.

There is a new LBS at the outlet stores.

The SAG wagon is a chartered tour bus.

Kickstands have been installed on both sides of most of the groups bikes..............for and aft.

All of this in preparation for turning 65

A member of the 65+ forum had just gotten a new cell phone, and he was driving back to the nursing home from the city when his attendant heard the news on TV: "There's a crazy man driving the wrong way on the interstate. Everyone should be careful!" The attendant quickly called the 65+er on his new phone. "Watch out! There's someone going the wrong way on the interstate!" "One person, hell," he said. "There's hundreds of 'em."

You don't need Depends when you use this Schwinn no pressure bicycle seat.

An elderly looking gentleman, (mid nineties) very well dressed, hair well groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel, smelling slightly of a good after shave, presenting a well-looked-after image, walks into an upscale cocktail lounge.

Seated at the bar is an elderly looking lady.

The gentleman walks over, sits along side of her, orders a drink, takes a sip, turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"

I think we should wax nostalgic about our sting ray bikes, and how we could ride all day, and only had to be home before the streetlights came on.
