What do old people do in a country of bicyclists? I rode a bike in the past but moving through my eighties, at least for the last 2 years, my infirmities have made bikes "off limits". And it's not really a problem. I rode for a bit of exercise and enjoyment. Now I use the car and am still able to drive relatively long distances as well as to the grocery store, pharmacy, etc. In fact I'm heading for the high school in about a half hour, to pick up our grand-daughter after school. Without a car I'd be limited to bothering people to drive me here and there or using some "senior" transportation.
