Some questions:

Please tell us your age. 54

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
Have a Schwinn Cimarron mountain bike. Have a Jamis Coda Elite steel frame on order.


2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
Take my daily vitamin, ocassional protein suppliment, and my Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM combination.

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Well, I've certainly slowed down from earlier years, but lately have been bringing it up quite a bit.


4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
Pretty much since I was a kid, with peaks and valleys. Peak was regular riding, including distance riding. Valley was the last 10 or so years when I rode very infrequently.


5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
Right now, just short (5 or so mile) quick paced training rides daily. When my Jamis arrives, they'll expand to longer distances.



6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
Well, I just took it up again recently because of some knee problems. I'm having a gas though and will keep it up, so I'll estimate that I'll put on over 2000 miles this year. (fingers crossed, of course)


7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
I do weights, wind sprints, run longer distances (1-3 miles) once a week.
