Bikes: Graco road bike

Please tell us your age.
51

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
Graco road bike (no, I don't know what it is either)

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
Never have.

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Just starting again. A ten year old kid raced me today...on foot!

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
I'm a car guy. I love cars and driving, racing, and building them. So even though I did a lot of bike miles as a teen, that all stopped at 16. My current bike was purchased used from a classified ad sometime in the mid-80s, to be used as racetrack transportation. It served me well at that, but it didn't amount to many miles.

5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
Currently commuting, but it's only a mile. I'll be getting my miles on the KATY Trail (Missouri's rail to ride just across the river) until I can go fast/long enough to hit the roads around here.

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

7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
No organized activities, but I used to get a lot of exercise at work. That is the major reason for taking up the bike...a career change will keep me tied to one room, and I don't want to get "old"
