Hi everyone, I'm a 51 year old from Western Australia who just found and joined Bike Forum.

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
I currently ride a Commencal FCB, setup for the odd commuting/weekend gravel ride - partypace stuff


2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
None


3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Definitely slowed down, once I hit 50 (am 52 this year)


4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
Been biking all my life, started in my teens on a Raleigh chopper, then progressed on to mountain biking. Took along hiatus for many many years due to family. Got back to cycling in late 2020 when I decided to get a new bike. Was training and building up toward my goal of bikepacking when I had an accident with multiple injuries in Oct 2021 and I am just back on the bike since Mar 2021, but recovery has been slow.


5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides. -
Currently short rides, but I hope to do day trips/microadventure type backpacking trips one day.

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
Whenever I can, I don't really keep mileage count...
