I never heard the argument "have bike path is discriminatory to elders", and the guy in the video rightfully say "Not having bike path is discriminatory to children" (because they can't drive and put themself in danger in shared road)

There are some scenarios, where biking can have negative effects on elderly people: Those cases where there is no explicit cycling infrastructure and foot and bike traffic is squeezed together. Or when elderly people are in need of a parking spot near to their homes and have no possibilities to park on their own property. But the real problem in those cases is bad planning.

But those dickheads in the video had clearly no interest to speak about real problems.
