I have just retired at the age of 60. I am planning to buy a good bike which will perhaps be my last purchase!

good plan - I'd make it a bike to use/give you lots of new experiences in your golden age - not one to look at/have folks admire the spec.

I bought what was intended to be my last bike purchase when I got a Brompton in my late 70s but since then got a used but not abused Bike Friday as well.
Sadly my balance has gone AWAL and I got an Adventure HD but now looking for a suitable emotor trike, but so far cannot justify the new price and where I live used ones are too far away. OTOH if one came available in say Glasgow area I could be tempted.
Kinetics currently has a new HD in stock but no motor. Mebbe I should have gone for the Full Fat he had earlier but too late now.

I 'retired' in April after 28 years at the same coy. Let's say managment 'issues' or lack thereof - ! I'd been cycling the 25 mile round trip most days for ten years and was a bit concerned about keeping cycling on. However, just started a new job locally, so I can easily cycle in and as it's very physical work, I can avoid 'renewing ' my gym membership as well as keeping the pedalling miles up.
Result - ! :okay:
