I'm sharing that I'm celebrating my 84th birthday today so that others who are younger might know you can still ride a bike at 84. I got a short ride in yesterday, and maybe even one this afternoon. So don't give up hope. A friend of mine who is the same age stopped bicycling 2 years ago because he said he lost his balance. I really think he lost his nerve. But I don't know for sure. Denver
I am exactly 13 months behind you and my stoker is just ahead of you by a couple of months! We still ride our tandem, albeit with a little e-assist to keep up with younger riders, although we now only ride about 60 miles per week compared to a hundred or more back in the day. I also do the occasional 25 on my Cytronex assisted Trek. I need assist as my asthmatic breathing has gotten worse since Covid. Otherwise we are fine in spite of medical hiccups along the way.

Hi Denver, Belated happy birthday! Good to see you are still active. I still remember that rendezvous in Colorado all those years ago
