Maybe your joints and parts will be fine until you're 80 or 85, one of the lucky ones, but eventually your body will fail you. I see absolutely nothing wrong with using technology to allow you to continue an avocation you love. It can enrich your life. Or, you can stay narrow-minded and quit things as your body quits.
If my legs don't work AND I can't ride with the super-low gears I might buy a MOTORBIKE and ride it on the roads and byways that are for MOTORIZED vehicles. I will not PRETEND that my MOTORBIKE is a bicycle. I do totally understand that aging brings limitations and will readily accept the facts of nature.
I'm sorry you don't understand where I coming from.
