REVISED AND UPDATED 2021 ¿A senior citizen's look at the new, fascinating and ever-changing world of rollators, adult bikes, mobile scooters, recumbent trikes, and electric bikes. The book's message is simple and direct: get up, get out, and keep on rolling down life's highway. Smart advice for seniors and physically disabled people who want to stay mobile and active. - - - This book chronicles one senior citizen's struggle to maintain his independence when he is forced, at age 85, to stop driving. In an effort to maintain his mobility and avoid the ever-threatening wheelchair, he plunges into a search for something -- be it a rollator, recumbent bike or adult trike -- to substitute for the loss of his beloved car, his personal chariot. He knows that bikes of all sorts are used for transportation and commuting in Europe. Why not here? In the process he creates a beginner's guide to alternatives to driving for the millions of folks worldwide faced with the problem of slowly declining health. What choices are before them if they wish to keep moving, stay active and remain in close communion with nature and the great outdoors?

Autorenporträt
Allen Ballard, a native of Philadelphia, and a proud graduate of its Central High School, holds degrees from Kenyon College and Harvard University. He's a retired professor from CCNY and the University of Albany. The prize-winning author of three other non-fiction book and two novels, he, at age 87, still maintains a daily exercise routine of walking, upper-body workouts, and indoor and outdoor cycling. He lives in Clifton Park, New York, and is a great fan of the Adirondacks and, in particular, its crown jewel, Lake George, where he first went to work as a busboy at its Silver Bay YMCA resort at the age of 16. He still visits it yearly, but not to work!
