It's Just Not Fair!

I can never figure out why, but the prospect of getting shorter has always bothered me. .4 inches every 10 years after 40?!? Yikes!

If I get shorter, does this mean that I can buy a new bike?

I won't read it!!!
I don't deny I'm aging, and I think I'm now five feet instead of 5' 1".
But... I do things today that I didn't do when I was 30 or 40. Sure, I am not the fastest rider (but I'm not the slowest, either), but I am riding, as opposed to most of the people I know who are my age and just sit around, complaining they are getting fat.
So what if I wear reading glasses? I've been very nearsighted since I was eight years old and that was worse. Now I get to wear stylish reading glasses over my contacts!
