This sounds right to me, although I'm not retired. Even though you're not going to work, it's not like you're never going to leave the house. Running errands by bike, especially if you end up hauling stuff on a trailer, will provide plenty of exercise. There might be different logistical challenges than there were riding to a job, but you're retired, you have time to figure out how to make it work!
