I'm 74 in a couple months, and bicycles are an integral part of my fitness routine. I wouldn't consider giving them up. As long as I'm not falling off, I will probably continue to ride. I also ride and race motorcycles at the track, and broke my neck in a crash six weeks ago. I'll be back out riding bikes of both kinds, however. I am already back on the bicycle.
