OK, I am a boomer, but this is funny (with some truth...)

2. Oh, that was too funny
However, since hubby had knee surgery, he's now on a recumbent bike - for the time being!

4. Recumbent bikes are good for most men
of a certain age. Less pressure on the prostate..

And since young men no longer bike, it seems, you see more and more recumbents on the trails.

6. Older baby boomers
Not us who were too young to go to Woodstock and get in on the action. Heck by the time we got older we had disco and polyester clothes.

7. Loved the ape hangers on the handicap scooters
Other than that, I couldn't relate. I went cheerfully to seed years ago.

Chase eternal youth? Exhausting. Forget it. I'd rather chase something I have a chance of catching.
