Lots of people I know in their late 60s and early 70s are still riding strong. They may not be what they were 10 or 20 years ago, but people at every age take pleasure from the feeling of really being in shape, whatever that may be for their age and ability. Or for that matter, their disability.
Ride on.
I aspire to let my mind deteriorate faster than my body such that I never realize I'm not what I used to be. So far I'm doing an excellent job on the first part.
