1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?.
Trek hybrid for commuting.

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
No.

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Jumping ability and arm swing have diminished (this is for beach volleyball, which I've played competitively for almost 40 years).
For bicycling and jogging, my endurance/cardiovascular seem essentially the same.

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
We were pretty poor growing up so I never owned a bike until a friend gave me his in 4th grade, which was pretty old to be starting compared to neighbors. The first time I rode it balancing I rode right into a hedge, but it was still very exhilarating.

5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.
Pretty much always solo rides, but love riding with friends. In college I missed a ride home so I rode my junker wobbly bike 100 miles down the coast (Santa Barbara to LA)--no spare tubes, no map, just winging it. It was one of those ill-planned things that thankfully worked out okay and is a funny memory/story now.

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
Was commuting to work almost every day on it until I started driving the kids to school. Will probably return to commuting daily once they're driving themselves to school in a few years. My older son wants to try a century someday, which I've never done and would be awesome--used to work for a photographer so I've seen so many over the years. The most beautiful were Seattle-to-Portland, Solvang, and Davis. The most raucous was Rosarito-to-Ensenada.
