I've given up giving up because when I give up I realise that I miss what I have given up so I un-give up. So the answer is don't give up.
his short term memory is now shot and he has to have someone with him when he is driving, otherwise he forgets where he is going or what he went out for.

I am passing another significant birthday this year, but am wondering at what age would you consider giving up biking - or when does it become too difficult?

FFS man your just a Foccing Nipper, or a babe in arms. I hit the magic 70 years young on the 10th of this month and just got the FZS 600 insurance renewed and the bike re-MOTedI just upgraded Front and Rear suspension so I can slowly work at reducing them 3/4" chicken strips, have halved them in the last 4 or 5 ride outs. I plan on riding until I can no longer throw my leg over the seat and I hoping to still be riding at 80 years young.
Still,if in doubt,hold back

I tried to give up after breaking my hip, the thought of an off with three screws in my right hip worried me. I went through several so called sporty cars eventually ending up with the Eunos which although fun really doesn't scratch my itch. So back to bikes.
