From Boomer to Senior
Happy Birthday, Boomer. You're a Senior!
Those of us on the early end of the baby boomer generation are beginning to enter our late 50s and 60s and, as a group, make up a large consumer demographic.  We're the boomers who are becoming seniors.

We may be aging, but we're gonna be around a long time yet!
It's amazing what science and research can do.  If we're living longer, I for one would like be healthy too!   If you were born between 1946 and 1964 you are a baby boomer.

It sounds more pleasant to the ears as it does not reflect our growing years. Women are the same all over the world trying to push back that acknowledgement that they are now in the middle aged category. After all, we are still young at heart though maybe not so young in body. So here I am, definitely an Aunty (even the policeman at the Inland Revenue Office calls me ...

The simple design with no fancy handbreaks, bells or whistles evokes thoughts of quiet, peaceful rides around the sandy beach towns of yesteryear.
