Past Issue

Spring
2024

Sage60 gives Sage readers fresh content four times a year, and it releases about a month after each print edition. In this issue, we welcome spring with a primer on e-bikes, inventions that allow you to pedal on your own steam and receive a little help when you need it. We also look at coming out when you’re an older adult, and we examine the benefits — and potential drawbacks — of house swaps. Given that we just marked National Caregiver Day in April, and May is National Caregiver Month, we also have a story sharing our wish list for policy changes to support caregivers as well as some of our members’ struggles and rewards as they cared for their loved ones.
