It has been my experience with riding during our senior years is that it improves one's balance.
When we first moved to Texas, almost 10 years ago, I thought I was finished riding for the rest my life and especially because of the wind and the heat. After two bad falls, my physician suggested that I ride a bicycle to improve my balance. I went around the block once and parked the bike.
I drove into Argyle and bought a Yamaha V-star and that was how I improved my balance. I haven't had a fall since.
The best ridin' in your life starts after you retire.

Kenny.... you is tugging at my heart strings bro
I do believe what you say.
I turn tricks around younger guys at work, and they know it.
They are already whining about me retiring and not being able to meet our rate when I'm gone, uh, how bout stepping it up young'ns and pulling your weight, WHICH, since I've shed a lot, has improved my life/riding immensely, and I can see how actively riding is part of that success.
I see guys my age already rotting away.....
To be fair, I don't know if they have physical limitations that are contributing to their state...
The summers here are a blessing for sure. People work all year just to be able to spend it here on vacation....
This will be a hard time to NOT ride, in our long sunlit summer days.
Thank you!
