When the balance started to go, I got an Ice Adventure recumbent bike, and kept on biking.
Electric assist...ya gotta peddle or you don't go, but it makes steep hills a little less steep.
NOT one of those high-center-of-gravity tricycles. They tip.
The Ice costs an arm and a leg, but I got one used for the mere price of a small used car, and use it every day that it's not pouring rain.
What better could I spend my money on?....leave it to the kids? HA!
