Some questions:
Please tell us your age.
Nearly 64
1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
I have a Trek Verve 1 and an Aventon Aventure step-thru ebike
2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
I take supplements to keep my heart happy. Vitamin E and Co-Q10
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
I've had to slow down to keep my heart rate below 120. I'd been a ballz 2 the wallz type all my life until now.
4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
I stopped after a child's bike seat I had borrowed broke, flipping my infant daughter on her head. It was before the backs were above head level of the kids, so she was injured. I started riding again about 10 years ago or so.
5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.
My longest rides have been 20 miles. I went on my first group ride last Sunday. It was.. interesting. I ride solo usually.
6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
I bike whenever the weather is nice. I try to go at least 10 miles each time. I'm not sure about annual mileage.
