Best Bikes for Seniors Buying Guide (YesCycling)
The following is from YesCycling. Be sure to read the guide in full at their site!
After riding more than 20 bikes in the last few months, we think that the best bike for seniors is Cannondale Treadwell 3. It’s a reasonably-priced step-through hybrid bike that is perfect for commuting and meeting up with friends. If you prefer to hop on the e-bike trend, then Trek Verve+ 2 Lowstep is an excellent low-step hybrid electric bike that won’t disappoint you.
Riding a bike gives you a feeling of freedom and enjoyment as crisp, clean air opens your lungs. However, as we get older, it becomes harder to find the best bikes for seniors that meets our physical capabilities.
To make this process easier, I’ve made this guide to help you find the bike that suits your needs.
