Following my big prang in 2006, I realised that no matter how you ride, many car drivers are out to get you! (aka …“Sorry, I. didn’t see you!”)
Life on a bike now is very different to when we were younger…in the days when no one had mobile phones, sat navs, electronic dashboards to fiddle with! And I think your last sentence sums it up…we don’t bounce like we used to and our reactions are not what they used to be. Question is, would you have gone looking for a bike if your son didn’t happen to have one available.
The biking bug never goes but I find a Morgan is a reasonable substitute.
