I am new to the forums so I thought I would reply to this thread.

Some questions:

Please tell us your age. I am 57

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride? I have a '73 Frejus TdF and hoping to buy a new road bike soon.


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? In some ways I feel I'm in better shape than I was 30 years ago, but I also realize I can't keep up with the younger set.


4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life? I rode seriously 30 years ago while in graduate school, but now I am starting again after retiring two years ago.


5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race? 15 mile rides for exercise


6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage? Just starting but I hope to ride 50 miles a week


7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.? I run, do weight traing, and play golf
