Bikes: too many sparkly Italians, some sweet Americans and a couple interesting Japanese

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?Road bikes only
I have a ready row of seven bikes ready to go at any time varying from 70s to my latest custom from 2018 out of the 24 I keep.

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older? Yes
I live with osteoarthritis so with the usual vitamins, etc. I take Microlactin which has been very helpful in avoiding too many steroid shots and keeping me riding.
3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Oh ya.

4. How long have you been biking?
On two wheels 72 years on three 73 years as I also have a trike for bad arthritis days.
5. What type of biking do you do?
Mostly since my retirement I can handle 20 to 30 miles rides 3 or 4 day as week, more than that I risk an arthritis flair up.

6. How often do you bike?
3 or 4 rides a week to manage the arthritis of 20+ but no more than 30 miles or I may have to pay a price so annually about under 4,000 miles.
