Senior riders

[pawl]

I have just retired at the age of 60. I am planning to buy a good bike which will perhaps be my last purchase!

Whatever you buy enjoy it

good plan - I'd make it a bike to use/give you lots of new experiences in your golden age - not one to look at/have folks admire the spec.

Perhaps being the optimal word

Nearly 75 .... Still on the same Carlton that I bought for £5 in the mid 1960s.

Is there any other way of growing old Just thought perhaps growing old very very disgracefully

That's what I thought when I retired, then I had to find a job to fund my bikes

I retired last year at 59, then very quickly took a part-time job. I tell people at work I'm working to buy toys. A bike and associated kit has been a big part of that.....

I bought what was intended to be my last bike purchase when I got a Brompton in my late 70s but since then got a used but not abused Bike Friday as well.
Sadly my balance has gone AWAL and I got an Adventure HD but now looking for a suitable emotor trike, but so far cannot justify the new price and where I live used ones are too far away. OTOH if one came available in say Glasgow area I could be tempted.
Kinetics currently has a new HD in stock but no motor. Mebbe I should have gone for the Full Fat he had earlier but too late now.

Senior is at least

"Senior" is at least 5 years older than whatever age the questioner is

My number is 67. I recently took up cycling (again) as part of a losing weight plan…as part of a plan to extend healthy and active life. I try to think that my number is as relevant as the colour of my bike (£70 recycle shop).

I 'retired' in April after 28 years at the same coy. Let's say managment 'issues' or lack thereof - ! I'd been cycling the 25 mile round trip most days for ten years and was a bit concerned about keeping cycling on. However, just started a new job locally, so I can easily cycle in and as it's very physical work, I can avoid 'renewing ' my gym membership as well as keeping the pedalling miles up.
Result - !

'Senior' is taking advantage of various reduced prices, buss pass etc., but still behaving like the big kid inside most of us - !

However, never regret growing old, it's a privelige denied to many.
