Ryan, I went through this 10 years ago. Car accident while working in 2010
(rear ended by teen in a Jeep doing over 50 while I was at a standstill in
order to make a left turn), second very aggressive back surgery in 2012, so
yes, I am going slow. Right now I just want the draining to stop, it’s
Nothing wrong with walking...and it's good you're being careful. After my
2016 run-in with a car, a few days later, I thought I could do a little 2
kilometer walk , and man, did I pay for that. Bad enough I couldn't ride
for the rest of the fall, which is my favorite riding time...but I also had
Thanks Ryan. I am hoping to be able to walk more than 2 blocks soon, as

time, I watched my speed and mileage diminish.I am was able t
Was it Bette Davis who said "getting old ain't for the faint of heart" ?
I, too, will hit my three-score and ten in December and I know my bike
accident in 2016 where a car turning right into the bike lane landed me
with an L1 compression fracture...mostly healed and I'm a little arthritic,

I lost 2” after my second back surgery. I was riding Albatross way before
then and always used a short stem, never changed from my drops. I finally
got longer stems and that is better but only because I was riding too short
stems. My stems now with Choco bars are 8 and 9 cm where I was riding
I can relate to all of this. I'm in the early years of my seventh decade
now and I've only lost and inch in height, but I'm finding the stem length

I am 66 and 5 months - reached SS "full retirement age" last month but I am
still riding drops and flat bars (and working). Riding upright is the most
uncomfortable thing for me. Drops and flat bars takes some weight off of my
butt - I am overweight. I hate the "tippy" feeling of sitting upright
