Had not noticed this thread before.

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?

This particular 50+ (53 as we speak) rides a 2012 Trek Soho commuter and a 1998 GT Windstream hybrid. I am also thinking of picking up a steel road bike frame.

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?

Centrum Silver. I was taking Saw Palmetto and Selenium for some prostate issues, but recently had surgery to correct them.

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?

I get winded much more easily as I've gotten older. My muscles and tendons don't recover from strain as quickly. I'm also not as risk-taking as I used to be.

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?

All my life, a lot when I was a teen, not so much in recent years. Was away from it for 10 solid years before I picked it up again earlier this year.

5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.

Short rec rides (though I consider it "touring"...) and commuting.

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

As often as possible. Used it for the 4-mile round-trip commute most of the summer until mid Sept. No idea on mileage. Not much.
