In my country it's a fairly common practice that groups of elderly, living in a certain neighborhood, collectively take a bike ride, if the weather conditions permits this so. The knife cuts on two sides now: on the one hand one maintains and / or improves the physical condition and the social contacts too. On the other hand people enjoy commonly the beautiful landscape.

This photo is taken during such a bike ride on the South-Beveland peninsula, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

Something I would love to 'still' be able to do!..I had a good selection of cycles in my earlier years, sadly not able now!

Good vantage point for this one old friend.

This is a wonderful candid capture of them enjoying a nice bike ride while staying in shape. Very good composition, and the shadow play in this is excellent. tigs=^..^=

I like the POV for this shot Mr. C. and I do think it is wonderful that they are still active and able to cycle.

A lovely nature scene - The trees in perfect lines on either side of the road is very beautiful and the seniors on their bikes add to the peacefulness of this scene.

You captured these hardy souls very well Cornelius. Your flat countryside is ideal for cycling and it is as you say a fine way to see the beauty and to keep fit at the same time

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
