Bike Riding for Seniors

Puzzle Piece · ‎06-29-2010

Do you senior ladies ride bicycles? I'm not talking about stationary bikes but a bike that tours here and there.

Nope. I tried to learn as a kid and hated it. Tried again as a 30 year old and still could not get the hang of it. I can say at 70 I never really learned to ride a bike and I'm certainly not going to try now. I don't think Arizona has many bike tours and if they do it would have to be in late fall and winter. Maybe up north they do. I'm strictly a car person.

Gave it up when I got wobbly on bike.

Last time I was on a bike I feel over backwards and tore my hamstring. This was about 15 years ago on vacation

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I haven't been on a bike in decades. Rode a lot as a child and teenager. I may have ridden one on vacation once or twice at the beach, but probably in my 20's. No way I'm riding now.

Can't remember the last time I rode a bike. I think I could still do the riding but with my balance issues I worry about stopping. I might fall over.

If I did ride it would have to be a three wheel trike.

I loved riding a bike as a child. Last time I rode one was about 10 years ago in my 60s. Rode alone Lake Michigan. Great fun. Wouldn't bike now only because I don't have the stamina for it. Would consider getting an electric bike but living in a big city, it's not safe.

I ride my touring bike occasionally....maybe 3-4 times a year.

I have an older Royce Union that is over 40 years old....it still looks and rides as new.

It gets tuned up once in a while and get new tires. They dry rot after a while.

When I was 9 years old, I was getting ready to learn how to ride a two-wheeler. Unfortunately, a very dear friend of mine (my age) was run over and killed while riding her two-wheeler bike across a residential street where we lived.

SUCH A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY!

From that day on, I was never allowed to even go NEAR a 2-wheeler bike and to this day I have never riden one.
