I've never been this age before so I'm not sure how it's supposed to be, but I'm still pedaling under my own power. Friends have asked me about E Bikes but I know nothing about them. If and when the time comes I will certainly explore that option. I seldom ride on pavement and enjoy being surrounded with off-road trails. Of course I'm not what you'd call a shredder. My style of riding is more "I've got brakes and I'm not afraid to use them!" Grateful for the years I've had and hopeful for many more. Good riding.
