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 slimmest of people anymore and could shed a few pounds.
My Dad mentioned something about beach cruisers. I know most are single speed without gears but I think gears are better for whatever hills they might encounter. They're not going to encounter any kind of crazy hills in their cycling though.
Being that they haven't ridden in a long time (I'm 34 and don't remember them riding), I think a tricycle is a better option. I've talked to my brother and sister about this and they think the tricycle is a better option for safety reasons.
The have a 2013 Jayco camper with the sliding bike rack in the rear. Does anyone think 2 adult trikes would fit on the bike carrier? Would folding trikes be a better option? I cycle and I know how important gears are when you deal with hills. Would the single speed trikes work or should we get gears?
