It's one of the first questions on medical intake forms after they see you have medicaid for insurance; "have you fallen recently?"
I'm 65 also and I, too, cycle a bit; I broke my wrist in a relatively gentle fall off the bike last August and I hope to shout this minor injury ain't no joke.
An eye opener for me and the fellows that I ride with. My wrist still has issues and my basic fitness has taken a huge hit over the winter.
So many anecdotes in such a short amount of time on this thread shows that it's a real concern. Be safe, fellow travelers.
