I may be developing a warped view of what the typical senior is like, due to riding with so many people in their 60's & 70's that can kick my 52 yr old butt on a bike. Is the typical senior active or sedentary?

I recall visiting my grandparents as a teenager. They lived in a retirement community in Florida and many of their siblings lived in the same development. The conversation tended to be about who died this week. It felt like they were sitting around waiting to die. I don't want that for myself.

My own parents are in their 70's now. My dad doesn't ride a bike, but he is always busy doing something and is at home when fussing about on his land in the Catskills.
