Please tell us your age. 58

1. What type of bikes do 50+ folks ride?
Just bought a Fuji Newest 2.0. I've been riding a GT Karakoram for 13 years. Before that I had a Schwinn Continental for 20 years. Schwinn 3-speed was my first new bike at 9 years of age.

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
Multi-vitamin, vitamin C, & calcium.

3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any? Yes. Fair amount. Hope to reverse that the next few months.

4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life? Rode a lot as a kid. Didn't ride much at all from 14-30 years of age. I've been a casual rider. Started riding more last summer. Hoping the new bike will encourage me to ride more. I have been and will continue to ride more than I did earlier in my life. Just got my first bike computer yesterday.

5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides, commute, tour, race? To date just short rec rides. Have commuted to work at times in the past.

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage? 30-60 minutes 4-5 times a week. Hope to join group rides once I'm comfortable on the new road bike.

7. Do you do any other type of physical activities - weight lifting, skiing, running, etc.? Light weight lifting. Jogged when younger, walked a lot the past year. Knee is shot right now so I'm only biking.
