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.
How's the battle of your bulge coming along?
