It's those crazy hip bikes I have. People don't believe I'm 52 and I tell them a lot of my friends are dead now and I think the bikes kept me going.

I taught High School and when the kids referred to me as old, reply was " If you're lucky , it will happen to you ". I spend my days now doing things that remind me how lucky I am.

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!

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

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.
