Just about to turn 70, so this thread is a good one. I get out three or 4 days a week 10-30 mile rides on a 7 year old Raleigh hybrid. I’ve been thinking of investing in a newer, lighter bike that would still work on back roads where I live but would also allow me to go greater distances on pavement. In addition to being boggled by all the choices, there’s a nagging fear that 70 year olds shouldn’t be spending serious money on bikes.
