I'm going to sell my two bicycles. I have a 20" Lectric folding ebike and a 20" Zizzo brand 7 speed folder...

Makes me a little sad but I'm almost 69 and my balance is not so good these days, I will be walking more and using a 20" Zizzo bike set up on a riding stand indoors (no balance issues). Life goes on...

1. Hey, at least you're finding a good home for them, hopefully! I had a head over heels bike accident in the park when I

was out there in the Park riding, and it looked like I got the full mugging treatment, I had cuts, scrapes, etc. all over my body. Since then, I haven't rode very much. Just glad that I had my helmet on then at the time. It was kind of funny, the next day, AM-wise, I had a presentation to give at work, and I got up there, all scraped up and messed up from the bike wreak, and explained to the audience that I had a bike wreak. I did not look pretty, believe me! Ha ha heh...at least I can laugh about it now.

2. Sorry for your accident. I've had a couple with my bikes, more just falling over while at a stop, no big hurts...

3. Keep on pedaling. I'm 78 and still pedaling on the beach and around town on an old fashion one speed

It has contributed to my well being. Having good genes helps, too. I don’t consider myself a cyclist. I’m still surfing and the bike keeps the lower body in shape.

I know the felling of loss though as I quit snow skiing at 72. I still miss it. Cycling really helped with that.

All that being said, I’ll probably keel over tomorrow.

4. Thanks for the encouragement, I might wait a bit and take them out when warmer weather returns...

6. I prefer warmer weather. Except to travel to snow country. Good luck.

Don’t take any unnecessary risks. A fall at our age can be really bad

5. I could use some bouncy bicycle air bags...ha ha...

[surfered]

7. 😁 surfing here, we fall in water

8. Wait a minute. I know a little bit more about you now.

Did you eat a bunch of those Xmas cookies and then fart all over those bicycle seats?

9. I used to ride my bike everywhere.

There was a time in my twenties and thirties where I only had a bicycle. When I lived in Charlotte, it was very entertaining indeed. (Charlotte is a NASCAR town, so they look down their nose at bike riders. The number of close calls I have had just because some asshat decided that he wanted to fuck with the bike person is legendary. They just didn't like it because I was moving and they wrecked stuck in traffic.) I will never forget when I first moved there and I was riding the bike along the shoulder and I stopped for a light. I looked over and there were two bicycle cops riding up on the sidewalk beside me (It is illegal in the city to ride bikes on the sidewalk, BTW. That may have changed nowadays.) They took one look at me and said, "Dude, you had better get on the sidewalk if you want to make it home!" Yes, the police told me to break the law, as they were doing, because it was too dangerous to ride anywhere else.

Then, I moved to Nashville, and rode around that place often.

Then I moved to the Twin Cities and, after decades of riding safely around three states, I had someone pull right in front of me and I had an accident. (I posted about it here, and that got me into some issue with the case, as the opposing attorney found those posts and tried to use them against me, which was pretty funny actually.)

I have not ridden since. I am not sure I can any more anyway.

I hate it with a passion. But, what else can I do? It is too cold around here to ride now and it will be freaking May before I can even think about it again.

Just one more thing I have had to lose, while gaining nothing. Ain't life grand?
