Please tell us your age. Almost 66

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
Whatever they want. Personally, I ride mostly road, bike trails and a bit of gravel. Old Trek MTB, Specialized hybrid, working on a vintage road bike/tourer, tinkering with a Raleigh Sports just for around town.

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
Multivitamin, Fish oil, Vit. C, Turmeric, and whatever else my herbalist daughter-in-law recommends

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Hit a wall at 61. Not biked much since. Waiting for spring to see what I got left in the tank.

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
Always an enthusiast. Ridden off and on most of my life. At times a commuter, fitness regimen, social rider. Not so much in the last 5 years (see above) ;(

5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.
Rec/social rides with wife, +/- 25 miles, then 1 hour runs around town

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
N/A
