What is a good bike for a 70 year old man?
A recumbent bicycle is the easiest for older adults to ride because it lessens the stress on the lower back and joints. The seats also tend to be larger and more cushioned than regular bikes’ seats. Recumbent trikes’ advantages (over conventional trikes) include stability (through low centre of gravity) and low aerodynamic drag. Disadvantages (compared to bicycles) include greater cost, weight, and width. The very low seat may make entry difficult, and on the road they may be less visible to other traffic.
Should a 75 year old ride a bike?
While almost forms of physical activity improve physical and mental health, cycling is particularly well-suited for those in their golden years due to its accessibility. After all, cycling is easy on the joints, even for those with joint pain or injuries. Cycling as a lower body workout is non-weight-bearing and gentle on the joints, making it ideal for people with joint pain or arthritis. Walking, on the other hand, is a weight-bearing activity that strengthens bones and joints, and it’s easily accessible and cost-effective, requiring no special equipment.
