Geez, I'm gone for a day and Ferret goes and buys a new bike. Nice bike, Ferret.
We are all different as far as our abilities are concerned. I quit riding at 84 years because I was afraid of losing the use of my right arm if I take a spill. I could still operate a bike, but with the Reverse Shoulder Replacement (artificial shoulder - you can learn a lot about it on YouTube), I couldn't take a chance on more surgery and the loss of the use of my right arm. I really want to ride and it is very tempting, but I have to face reality. But, as I said, we are all different. Many don't get the privilege of living this long, much less riding as long as I, so I'm thankful for what I had/have.

There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.
