Seat Angle At Older Age - Rant

At the age of 68 I have had to adjust all my bicycles seat angle down in the nose very slightly. About 3° tilt down in the nose. I have been using a level seat more than 55 years and I am really wondering if this is normal for geezerdom. Certainly my personal equipment down there is not getting any bigger so why is extra clearance needed... Ha

I guess it just goes along with all the other changes I have made over the years. Like having to lower my seat about a centimeter and raising my bars at least two. I also don't even think about using the drops anymore.

I slug along on my safe, no traffic, short local routes and sometimes I see riders older than me blasting by at full speed smiling... Bravo Youse Guys!
