For this 70yo on 7-10, dealing with the "aggressive/man killer Prostate Cancer" since 4/2015 along with other medical issues, "staying home" is not an option. I am currently partaking in the Cruzbike Time Trial Challenge 2020 even though I am not on a recumbent but having a blast marking my improvement as I recover. BTW-my ortho cleared me for cycling 8 days after the crash.
