1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
I love my ancient old 12speed mtb, late 80s, that I am currently restoring
2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
Mostly multivitamins, and some back meds for my badly damaged spine.
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
I have increased speed. I smoked for 40 years, rode my last bike 30 years ago. I live out of town, so I go for a 10 mile bike ride just to get a jug of milk now.
I find an excuse to go for a ride whenever I can. I'm more active now than I have been since I was 12. Just with a lot more back pain ect....
4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
A couple of months, last time was 30 years ago.
5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.
My bike is a grocery getter. I don't have a car, so I will be using this.
6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
Pretty much every day. A trip to town and back is 10 miles. Sometimes I go twice in a day.
