Default Having the Elderly Ride Bikes

There are two crises: One with SS and another with traffic. There's too many cars, something people refuse to hear. The easy solution is to encourage seniors into riding bikes or trikes while improving their health. They simply can not own a car to receive benefits...

The elderly are going to be so healthy that I'm looking forward to join the club. I won't join AARP unless they embrace this policy. I know it's highly Utopian but also practical. The elderly are not the best drivers.
