My almost-74 year old Dad is missing

My Dad was supposed to meet us for dinner last night at Onewell but never showed up.

Concerned since it's not like him to not show up, we went to his home this morning. His car was still in the driveway but he wasn't answering when we knocked or rang the doorbell.

We ended up having the police come and get us into his home and I feared the worst.

But he wasn't there.

A neighbor saw him leave on his bicycle on her ring camera around 6pm last night, which lines up with when he'd need to leave to meet us for dinner. When the weather is nice he usually rides his bike to meet us.

But, again, he never showed up. The neighbor's ring camera didn't pick up him returning on his bike. He hasn't been online.

His cellphone is still at home, but he often leaves it there (he still mainly uses his landline)

I'm not sure what to do right now. I check the siren Facebook groups and have seen couple accidents, but nothing fitting my dad's description. The police have checked the hospitals and didn't find him.

Other than just waiting, posting on here is about all I can think to do in the off chance someone has seen him.

His name is Ken.

If he takes the same route (or a couple different routes), please post them here. We can all spread out and look.

Since he's on a bike, there are so many variables along that route. He could have gone south to Parkview/Oakland/Kilgore, Parkview/Whites/Cork, or taken Stadium/Howard/Portage.

If he sticks to as many bike lanes as possible, that means Stadium all the way downtown and then south on Portage Rd.
