Try a Trike
If you're 60, 70, 80 or any age and want a really fun way to exercise, try a Trike! You have no problem with balance, no risk of falling, and you can move as fast (or slow) as you like. Climbing hills is no problem because the gears go down really low, and you can stop right in the middle of the hill if you get tired.

I got mine so I would have a good way to exercise my dogs, who can run much faster than I can. It's so much fun that when I'm through riding with Thunder for 2-5 miles, I go another 30-50 miles by myself. One guy who passed me on the trail said "that's like taking a lawn chair out for a ride" – and he's right, it's that easy and comfortable.
Save gas and use your trike to go shopping or wherever you want to go.
My trike is a Greenspeed, made in Australia, but there are lots of other brands and styles to fit your taste and budget. Ask your local bike store, or go to www.bike123.com . Greenspeed's web site is www.greenspeed.com.au Try one out. You'll love it!
Thunder loves to run alongside the trike
He's a Weimaraner who needs lots of exercise
Even without a dog alongside you'll get lots of comments!
