I chatted with my parents yesterday about the new bike. In their usual way, they’re delighted that I’m delighted. We all wondered whether there’s a similar option for them: in their 80s, and very healthy considering, but…energy, back pain, and •extreme• danger from a fall are all showstoppers for them. My 111-mile week last week was very much a product of my middle-aged health and good fortune.
What would a world look like where they could do their errands on…an e-trike, maaybe? A golf cart?
