Do you seriously think it's easier for a 80-year-old to hop in a car to go somewhere than walk 10 minutes to the store in a more compact city or take the bus?

Plus, look at the Netherlands, geriatric people who've biked their whole lives and maintained good physical shape have no problem continuing to bike.

Motorcycles are extremely heavy and take a certain amount of physical strength to operate.

For elderly people who have trouble pedaling, the answer is an e-bike.
