Denmark is set to have the highest retirement age in Europe after its parliament adopted a law raising it to 70 by 2040.

The retirement age at 70 will apply to all people born after 31 December 1970.

    Makes sense. Seems like the gear ratio would be weird but I’m not a mechanical engineer so idk haha.

      Funny enough it’s not the gear it’s absolutely the small wheel size that is the issue. More surface tension so you lose momentum faster and have to keep pedalling plus a small turn to avoid things means a larger degree turn meaning easier wipeouts. The pedaling if any bike is pretty standard and you can just match the size of the gears as need proportional to the wheel.
      It’s just those tiny wheels suck.
