Nice 2 hear your more Physically & Mentally " Sharper " than President Joe Biden ?
I didn't mean Training Wheels as an insult or anything just something like back wheels 2 support bike balance better ?
I knew an older gentleman years ago in DownTown Davenport , Iowa & whenever he would see me ...... No matter where it was , wether on the street , at a store , at the library ...... Just wherever we happened to bump into each other he would yell " Robert , your my friend " waving at me & I'd either wave back at him or I'd go talk 2 him if I wasn't going anywhere in particular .
He used 2 ride a bike alot & one day he was involved in an accident while riding & fell , he later passed away from injuries .
It was strange , after his death for sometime whenever I was in downtown Davenport I swear I would hear ? his voice yelling " Robert , your my friend " out of nowhere once in awhile ...... even though I knew that he had passed away .
Eventually I stopped hearing what sounded like him calling 2 me .
Nice story-thanks for sharing!!
Actually with my pedal-assist ebike while it is possible I could get into an accident it is extremely unlikely
as my route as I think I said previously is an oval-shaped road where it is rare to see more than one car during my back-
and-forth 40-minute or so ride.
I also have a rearview mirror on the bike so that when I pedal I can see what is behind me and approaching if there happens to
be a car.
As I stated or implied, when I need to turn around at the end of the road and go back to starting point and vice-versa, I usually
just brake the bike first rather than negotiate the turn while bike is still moving to prevent falling off although at this point
anyways, the chance of that happening is rare in spite of the mishap I described a few days ago.
If and when I lose my balance to the point where I can't control the motion of the bike at all, I will simply discontinue its use
and stick to walking!
In all honesty, as I really start to get up there in years, if I need anything, it won't be a training wheel but more likely a walking
cane because of arthritis in my lower back.
I shudder at the thought of a wheelchair someday and my wife pushing it but you never know!!
Re: Joe Biden, as a person just two years younger, I would be lying if I said he should be serving as anything under than a grandpa
at this point.
Just watching and listening to him speak gives me the creeps because it is so obvious that he just isn't there so to speak and going
downhill!!
I sure hope his wife or someone else convinces him to step down before the 2024 Election as the Party needs someone
who is much better in control of his mental and physical faculties!!
For that matter and not to get into the politics of it, imo neither Trump nor anyone in his age range should be running for POTUS.
It is one thing for someone like Warren Buffett at his age to do his thing and make money-it is entirely different to try to run
the country with all of the pressure and inherent decisions that need to be made.
The polling data shows that the American Public agrees with me, namely that they don't want Biden or Trump to be the candidates.
There are lots of different reasons for this, but age in itself is a big one and especially so as the overwhelming number of people
in the country are much younger and want people a bit younger that they can relate to.
That's it-thanks to you and anyone else who read this, and everyone enjoy their weekend!!
