A lot of us on here are "old" by the standards of many in society.
I'm 65 and cycling more than I ever have, just taking a little longer to heal after an involuntary dismount.

As far as getting back into cycling is concerned it has 2 main parts
a) get on a bike
b) ride it
you may need a extra bit at the start about "buy a bike" - in which case ignore all the advise and get one that you can ride - Local Bike Shops may be better at allowing test rides
no point in spending loads to start
and if you are old - and can afford it - look at ebikes - it is easier to get out and ride so you tend to go out more often and go further
all of which help the fitness more than going out once and feeling like you are dying for the next 3 days then not wanting to try again for another 3 weeks
IMO

New, yes "Up to date", questionable!
He likes to dress in what was a good style in the middle of the last century. One can argue that type pf style is never out of date, but it really isn't up to date.
