Maybe it's a desire for simplicity, focus, zen.....I find the older I get, the more I'm "underbiking". Just turned 60. I have a "modern" gravel bike, 1x11, tubeless, et al. I ride it everywhere I used to ride my MTBs, even some gnarly singletrack. I also have a singlespeed cross bike, that is getting more and more miles in, and I ride it on...everything. In fact, I could see riding nothing but singlespeed/rigid the older I get. It can be harder on the body of course, but alternatively, the connection to the bike and the earth I feel can actually make it....easier in a way? If, you're not in a hurry. I don't race, obviously. Just curious if any other geezers have drifted thisaway...

EDIT: just to clarify, by "underbiking" (as I'm using it here at least) doesn't suggest biking easier as I get older. I'm making it actually harder by riding ss, with no suspension, skinnier cross tires instead of huge MTB rubber, etc, on all the same trails and rides I used to ride with suspension, etc.
