Better yet, ride a recumbent trike. It's like riding in a recliner, nothing hurts when you're finished riding plus it's really easy to stop and take pictures along the way.

i sold my regular bikes and bought a electric bike. The pedal power required is about 10% of normal power. It let's me ride for day rides of 25 miles with little effort.

I second that suggestion. After having both knees replaced, my range of motion was too limited to continue riding my diamond frame custom bike so I sold the Redcay to a collector in NYC who came all the way out to PA to get it plus my Motobecane and I ended up with a Catrike 700 with a Rohloff internal gear hub and a Catrike Road that I put Big Apple tires on so I could ride it on packed stone trails. I love riding a trike. Pretty expensive, though.
Not so. I find that cars typically go into the oncoming lane to pass, something they never did when I used to ride a conventional bike. On recumbent trike forums, others have had the same experience. Now, I do have a very powerful red light flahing in the rear and another in the front. Add to that a red flag sticking out 1 1/2 feet to the left and another tall vertical flag sticking upright. We trike riders have speculated as to the reason why drivers give us more space, but we haven't arrived at a conclusive answer. Lookup DeNotte daylight lights.
The recumbent is a terrific alternative. After a bad fall with my road bike in 2015 and replacement shoulder surgery, I switched to a recumbent trike and enjoy it very much. Not as fast as my good road bike was, but very relaxing and still great exercise.

I've been riding a recumbent trike for 8 years. Highly recommended. I'm 71 and never been very athletic, (also have MS, which has destroyed my balance and ability to walk more than a few hundred feet), but love the ability to get out and around.
