I'm 69 and have no problems riding and do not plan to quit in anytime soon. I have ridden 10,000 + miles this year. We live in a retirement area and I sometimes do group rides where most others are older than me. One 82 year friend doesn't ride with our group because our pace of 15-16 MPH is too slow for him. Another 87 year old keeps up with us just fine.
When I have difficulties I plan to go to trike and then an E trike. Then maybe a trainer in the nursing home?
