That's the problem with generalisation. I know many people aged 78 or above who, being of agile mind, would make excellent government leaders.

What if you can't get on a bicycle in the first place and have to use a golf cart instead?

I have a bicycle and struggle to get my leg over the cross bar I'm 66 this week so i would not be suitable to run anything other than a bath, you can't lug your golf clubs around on a bicycle they aren't allowed on the greens .

Society does and should. Ageing process constitutes people cannot work forever, there has to be a cut off age, Biden’s constant mumblings of nonsensical shit, falling down Air Force One stairs, falling off his bike, getting lost on stage, highlights this.
It’s a good job Russia sees his fragile mind, twice now, we could have been led in to a nuclear conflict with Biden’s words, first when he suggested America would drop chemical weapons on Russia, if they dropped any on Ukraine, then later also suggesting American armed forces would be soon joining fight in Ukraine.
Jfman makes valid point above, we have prohibitions for people under a certain age, why should there not be the same for people above a certain age?

As you say there’s a lot of risk involved.

Re: US President Joe Biden
BREAKING: U.S President Joe Biden, has just declared more money is required to plan for the second pandemic, saying adamantly, "there is going to be another pandemic". https://twitter.com/JamesfWells/stat...02113139019776
Does he know something we don't?
