Yes, possible to do alone, but better with a companion because it can get rather boring without some companionship. I saw folks older than 65 out there and am sure there were some artificial knees out there. For some older folks, especially those with back or joint issues, the recumbent bikes seemed to be a better option. Also, I met several older solo cyclists whose significant other drove an RV support vehicle.

Thanks for sharing your valuable information. Quick question. Is it possible to Bike across alone? Does age matter? I am 65 and I would love to do something like this sometimes soon. Also I had a Knee replacement. will this have a factor?

Hard to say. But it can be an economical trip if you camp and make your meals. It gets expensive when you eat at restaraunts and stay in hotels.

If you planned a two – state trip instead of a cross – country adventure how much would it cost?
At 65 years old, I am planning bicycle tour ( a shake – down tour) from Fort Worth, Texas to Austin, Texas in order to see how I can manage being on a bicycle for an extended tour.
If I am successful, I will plan a trip from Texas to my home state of New Jersey, and onto Vermont.
Thank you
