Old man on a bike
Oh My God, you're that old? And planning to ride to Ushuaia? Madness...You will be robbed by bandits, fall into the merciless hands of corrupt police, be held up for years at frontiers by border officials demanding immense sums - and all this in addition to the certainty of heart attacks, malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague and enumerable varieties of dysentery. Give up. Stay home.
Or put an end to your illusions of fearsome adventure and face facts:
millions of people ride to work every day.
You will merely ride further and (I hope) have a much better lunch!!!!!
My only worry would be the weight of your bike. How do you lift it after a fall?
I ride a 125 (150 miles to the gallon) and am off round the world to celebrate my 80th year. May be we will meet up.
