Bikes For Retired Parents......
Our camping parents are mid 60's. I've never seen them ride bikes before but my Mom recently expressed interest in riding a bike when camping and also possibly when at home. They're both not the slim...

We chose the Townies for two reasons. Besides the previously mentioned crank forward stance, the handlebars are also raised a bit. The net result is that you ride sitting straight upright. It is a lot more comfortable to my lower back than riding bent over on a mountain bike. The cost was about $450/ea, a bit higher than a Huffy but worth the cost for the comfort. Don't get the twist grip shifter as they are too hard for someone with a weaker grip. The dual lever type is much easier.
BTW, we're both in our mid 60's.
