I'm 63, get free bus travel (at 60 here in Scotland) and still commute by bike, I love it, hate the bus! I commute in all weather, ice no problems because I have my studded tyres ice bike, the rare times is snows heavily I'll walk the impassable...

When you have had the first one of the two you need. You won’t forget you’ve had it.

Trees in the garden were waving around madly, a large eucalyptus was waving around so much it fell over. !
