Would suggest you fast forward to section where she is cycling her big tricycle ( start at 4:15 time on the viewing screen) here:

Though she maybe wearing makeup for videotape filming done this yr., she still looks good in her face and general mobile.
Just so cool that she is active and alert!

Personal story, non-cycling:
When my partner's mom was 91, she still insisted on walking with her walker cart on the sidewalk. It was slow going with my partner following his mom closely behind, in case she fell. She walked for 4+ kms. which included a 10% grade going downhill. By the time, she got to our place, she was beat but extremely satisfied with her performance. This woman never drove, so she was quite accustomed to walking to the grocery store (approx. 2 kms. away) up to her mid-80's to do her own shopping after her husband died. She loved to walk, which included walking her dog.
