I'm sure its more than just your bike. The bike is typically just a symptom of a healthier lifestyle.

Hardly. But it IS a sign I don't have a car.

I'Il be 68 this Dec (2018) and don't feel "old" or "elderly". I got a compliment from a neighbor (plumber) who I was helping put in a new field hydrant. When I first approached him about doing the plumbing work, I asked if he wanted me to dig the old one out, or if not to do it, as I didn't know if I could hit anything with a shovel that could cause further damage. He said I could go ahead as I was probably younger than him. I asked his age--55!! Guess my ballcap hid all the grey hair, but I'll take a compliment like that any day!

When I was in tenth grade I thought 24 was old, so don't feel bad.

Everybody who is not in the process of committing suicide is trying to get older. Whichever you choose, I wish you well.

What is that screen, a VCR for the old person to try to program while they're merging into traffic?

AARP to the rescue! Is there any problem they can't solve?

That bike looks to me like it's designed to solve the problem of getting older. Brakes aren't functional and the handlebar isn't secured.
