Had to look up when medicare age starts.

I'm past that point by 11 years and I really like to catch and pass those e-bikers on our Okangan Rail Trail.
e.g. https://vimeo.com/578840723 on a little test run to get the Action Cam issues sorted.

PS Here in Canada we start drawing "Old Age Pension" at that age. Doesn't equate throwing the towel.
