1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
Just bought a Specialized Crossroads Elite last Saturday.
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
I'm 58, 250 pounds, 6 ft tall. Slowed down a lot!! For several years I was jogging 20 miles/week Spring through Fall, then one Spring I just didn't started again. Been a regular slug ever since.
4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
Lived on a bike as a kid, then some as early adult, but nothing for last 25 years. Just started again Saturday.
5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
Still trying to keep my balance, figure out correct seat height, sort out the left and right gear shifts, and still look cool. 3 miles first day, 4 the second. It can only get better.
There are lots of hills around Hopewell, NJ, so unless I want to be bored riding around our small town all day, I had better tone up a lot.
7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
Walking to ice cream store! Hoping to learn to ride right past it (at least most of the time).
