I say WOW too... and thank the ladies for sharing.
Can you ask them a couple of other questions?

The age ranges vary, as do the years cycling.
I think both tires are flat on our bikes, but...

1. If we are on the upper end of the scale & haven't biked for ages, how would we get started and do as little harm as possible to our bodies?

2. What is the best type of bike for older ones to use?

3. Should we seek a pro to advise because of current lifestyles?

I remember riding as a child. I'd ride for hours, up and down the neighborhood streets. I've not none that feeling since. I think it would be fun to get it back, and the weight loss would be a BIG bonus. Darn it, there is so much I'd like to do, get into, change... my life is in such an unwelcomed mess, right now, though. But any information can be stored for a later date.

Thanks orchid for taking the time on this... I can't believe you've won my interest to biking.
