Guess that, at 74, I'm lucky enough to keep riding under pedal power only. And while I still maintain a decent pace and don't do too badly on hills, I can't keep the pace or tackle hills like a motor assisted bike. The quandary I'm facing is: I used to ride with a group, and while many rode e-bikes, there were still a few of us that preferred pedal power. Now, other than 2 riders, I'm the only one relying on pedal power. I don't mind riding solo(and have been for a couple of years), but I enjoy the comradery of riding with others, discussing various topics, solving the world's problems, etc. While I don't kid myself that I can ride like 30 years ago, I'm fit, work out regularly, no medical issues. I feel like an e-bike would not keep my fitness up like a pedal powered bike will. Feel like destined to be a solo rider. Just wondering--how many in a similar circumstance?
