I'm 55, retired in February.
1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
I have a Trek comfort bike, Navigator 100
2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
I take Walgreens vitamins and drink Metamucil
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
I've picked-up but only because I've lost 85 pounds in the last year.
4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
Well I biked as a kid, started again several months ago.
5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
Around town, in forest preserves and on paths. I "stroll". I'm after exercise and entertainment.
6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
Every day, at least 10 miles a day and usually 15-20
7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
I do push-ups and sit-ups every day.
By the way, I don't mind being called old or considered old. 55 is the beginning of old. You are what you are. Who cares anyway?
