I'm 67 and have been commuting, touring and club riding since I was 20. I think it has prevented my perception and reflexes from deteriorating as I've seen in others my age. I think the occasional close call is a healthy reminder to pay attention and ride safely. It will happen but I remind myself that I engage hundreds, if not thousands of drivers on a daily basis and the overwhelming majority are overly cautious. Everyday I have to signal somebody to take the right of way rather than yield to me when they shouldn't. The rude drivers or close calls occur (maybe) once in a few weeks. That being said, it is always best to use any bike lane, MUP or infrastructure when it's available. You can have the spinning classes if you want, sitting still on a bike is no fun for me.
