I may be old (77) but I am far from feeble. Riding only in the summer since I am in the snow belt, I ride my bents somewhere between 2 and 3 thousand miles a year.
The thing is I now wish I had decided to buy a bent many years before I did. They are all gain and no pain. Besides that you sit up straight and get to see the scenery you are riding thru. They are great on that account for cycle touring. In fact more and more people are turning to bents for touring for those reasons. Touring setting on a tiny saddle all bent over staring at your front wheel is no way tour.
