Try this when you are in your 70’s and come back and we’ll chat.
70+ year olds cycle all the time here in the Netherlands. My parents included. Most use e-bikes nowadays. I suspect more elderly cycle than drive a car, driving requires much faster reflexes and the potential for accidents is much higher.
And bring a cure for my chronically poor balance on your way over.
Here you go. Again super common among the elderly over here.
I have considered an e-bike. I believe I might be safe on one in some situations, but not as a daily driver. As mentioned, my balance is very poor. I can manage a stand up scooter for short distances. But the penalty for a fall at my age is far too high, and so anything on two wheels is really not going to be acceptable. Thanks for the thoughts though.
