Like having them.
And yes, I was one of the original in this subforum when it was formed.

My kids all encourage me to go out and “do things.” Maybe they are hoping for an early inheritance. Little do they realize that I’ve spent it all on bikes.

I sought advice, medical and other, before getting back on the bike. But in the end it is my decision if and when to ride or walk or run, and no one else's. Your interactions here do not demonstrate any impairments, IMO, that you shouldn't have the same capability and right to your own choices.
Fortunately for me, my family is far less grim and much more fun loving than than most of the other people whom I encounter. Makes me proud. We'll banter together a little and then do fine, thank you.
