Why is it when you drop your scoot, there is always an audience? And now everyone has a camera phone....
Yep. when i got my first street trike [2008] my son and daughter in-law were flowing me home from the dealer 80 miles, And sure enough i put my foot down at the first light... And all i heard from behind me was.; Hey old man you don't have to put your foot down with that thing.thank goodness no one was behind me the first week of riding the trike. kept putting left foot down at stops...old habits are hard too break...

That must be why all of the 30 year old's act like infants !18 years for me until I am 70. I love the fact that all you older guys are still riding...70 is the new 40 haven't you guys heard..

I was told that I was too young to ride a trike. Then I told them I retired at 47.

Glad to see some of the older riders around. Makes me feel better and younger as some of you guys are a little older than me at just a young 74.
I plan to keep riding my tri and driving the younger guys nuts as I go past.

Here is a link to a Trike Talk poll that may help answer your question.
The poll is broken down by various age groupings.

I'm 48 had total knee replacement at VA hospital and lost range of motion. So trike I can ride without worrying about knee problem. *
Got a little over 2 years to go. Hooah!
Me To, I was the same age when I started riding a trike because of a knee issues. Not quite as bad as yours no loss of range of motion. Anyway I am 52 now will be 53 soon and was the best thing I ever did. If I had known how much fun a trike was I would have gotten a trike sooner knee issue or not.
Ride Safe All,

Through Jesus Christ, I a sinner am saved. Not by my doing but through his doing by his sacrifice and Blood Shed on the Cross. His gift to all mankind that will only believe and accept him by Faith. Through his Death and Resurrection I am Saved by Grace and someday I will be with our Lord in Heaven forever.
Also be a war baby, born in '44, so be 72. Been riding on 2 since I was 7 and have put the ole kick stand down in all 48, Canada, Mexico and NewFoundland, 31 RIDES to Sturgis. 3 years ago diagnosed with Parkinson's so switched over to 3. 'Free on Three'......
With the addition of Colorado oil in my diet, feel good and might try to see all 48 again but on 3.

Age.
Age is just a number and I'm number 75. Keep very active all the time and it definitely helps prolong the aches and pains that we will most likely all get some day.
I believe that with an aging riding population on all models of bikes and in most clubs is the reason we are seeing more and more trikes on the road.
I'm on my first trike and only wish I had known years ago how much fun they are.
Love your perspective and totally agree. I am 59, no health issues, and I too, wish I would have discovered trike riding years ago. May have traded in the 2 wheeler sooner.
