That's really too bad. My wife still enjoys the bikes.....she had to give up her horses after 35 or more years.....the old knees wouldn't take it anymore. I'm glad she still likes to ride with me, says it's a lot like riding the horses.....good for the soul.
Took this bike to our daughters on Easter, (60 mile round trip).....This is my solo-run bike, the one with the comfort passenger seat is not out for the season yet, so it was this bike or the car.....she said "let's take the bike". Don't think I could sit on that little jump seat for 35 or 40 minutes, but she says it isn't too bad. By the way Irish, we're only a few years younger than you....both of us in our late 60's, and our 50th anniversary is this September.
