I wonder if she ever thought about getting a bike. She could probably do that trip in less than 5 minutes. Of course, it would be less exercise so maybe she doesn't want to.
Very good for a 63 year old in the US. I ran into an older (than me...) man yesterday at the grocery store. He was riding a bike and stopped to ask me about my hi-viz jacket. We got to talking and he explained that he had lost his license and that he was now 80 years old. His health was pretty good, he said, but he was a little concerned about the advisability of biking at his age. He seemed a little depressed about it all, but I reminded him that most people in their 40s couldn't do what he was doing. Reason to be proud!
