I joined bike forums about a year ago when I started riding. I'm retired but used to ride to work about 20 years ago on a three speed.

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
06 Specialized Crossroads Elite

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
Blood Pressure Med, Vitamin C, Fish Oil, Niacin, Multi Vitamin, Aspirin

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
Some of course, but not as much as many of my friends. I enjoy being active by riding as much as I can and playing golf a couple times a week. Occasionally I'll play 36 or 45 holes in one day. None of my friends can ride a bike 40-50 miles a day and are pretty amazed by what I can still do. I'm very fortunate.

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
I biked as a kid of course, delivering papers and just getting around town. I biked to work about 25 years ago but after an encounter with a car I gave it up. My son talked me into getting a bike again last year and I'm very happy I listened to the kid.

5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race?
I do short rides of 25-35 miles most often on MUP's. Throw in some 20 milers and some 40 milers here and there. Sometimes I get the desire to engage traffic just to keep my skills sharp. I don't keep a log because I just ride for the enjoyment, but my stamina has improved dramatically so I must be doing something right. Even my doctor's eyes got big when I told him I ride 60-80 miles a week

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?
Four or five days a week depending on my golf commitments. My goal is 1500-2000 this year.

7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.?
Just biking and golf. That takes up most of the days of the week. I think riding has helped my golf by strengthening my legs, improving my balance and getting more lower body into my shots.

8. Please tell us your age.
Sixty seven .. but feel like 25.
