I've been riding bicycles since four years old. Never had a trike I started right into 2 wheeling at 4yrs old. Also did marathons and stunt riding. Since moving to TV I decided to give it up. I'm sure I could handle nearly any dangerous instance that might arise, but that one small chance of accident is too much now. I'm 72 years old and any accident recovery would be way more devastating than the exercise benefit and fun factor riding my bike gives me. Just too many slow reflexes here to make biking safe enough. I've hung up my wheels and totally enjoy tooling around in my golf cart. Good luck with whatever you decide.
