What a GREAT story. I had to do a double-take at the photo because we look very much alike!
You know it still surprises me that someone our age is still considered an oddity to commute to work. Heck, at any age I guess but I still get that weird look as if someone is thinking "why aren't you doing something NORMAL like playing with your grandkids?" For heaven's sake you'd think I was jumping out of an airplane everyday without a parachute.
Now, when we are 92 or 102 and still commuting to work, then that might merit some odd looks and wonderment but that's 30-40 years from now. Wonder what bike we will have then? Hopefully by then I'll have a custom bike made by our very own Lunacycles. Mine will only weigh 5 pounds (Lunacycles will have discovered a new lightweight metal by then) and it will have the lowest granny gear on the planet.
Anyway, congrats on the lovely article. It's a wonderful thing to see a human being enjoy the pleasures of life and you look and sound like a great "enjoyer."
