Stupid is a strong word but the problem is at his age it won’t be long until he physically can’t hold the bike up anymore. My wife’s grandfather recently had to sell his bike and switch to a Spyder (three wheels) for that exact reason. He’s a pretty physically fit old guy, still mows his massive yard and does house work, but at some point you just can’t hold a 300-500 pound machine upright.

Different person, different case. Not because the person you know needed to stop that everyone will stop like him. Some will be able to ride their bike longer, some others can’t. If a 90’s old guy can still climb Everest, It simply a matter of individual choice and own skill.
