Thanks! You inspire me...at 71 and having cycled many countries and kilometres I was ready to hang up my pedals...I had lost the joy somewhere. But I am keen to get back in the saddle now.
It's not about the age, but the willpower to overcome challenges. This story makes us reflect and is an inspiration for everyone. Maybe this is the real meaning of "no pain no gain". Very cool!
How wonderful!!!! ❤❤❤. I am 62 and just getting back to riding after going through chemo. Like your dad, I was very active prior and now taking baby steps. This also led me to purchase an e-bike. I went with the Specialized Tero X due to fenders and lights. More of an all terrain SUV for this old lady. Please post more about your dad! Watching from Rapid City, SD. USA.
Great story. I’m 71 and pretty fit from years of training and competitive swimming and cycling. I have 4 bikes (my limit) but my fave is the gravel bike. I’m planning some local and distant bike packing trips in Canada - my home. However I do love travelling in the USA, Europe and elsewhere with my cycling buddies in our racing bikes. I agree that age isn’t the issue It is determination and regular fitness and most of all attitude. Cycling liberates the inner soul
Amazing! Congratz mate! You set the standards for us all...! P.S. I've been to Cairns on my O-Oz trip (Perth - Cairns) in 2013. Love your rock Tilmann! Great country!
Who said us old guys don't have it anymore? Like this gentleman, I could hop on my bike and ride a 100 miles any day of the week. It would only be twice my daily ride. And when the heat lifts I will be doing 100 mile days as 50 miles is about the best I can do when it is over 90 degrees LOL. Why do I ride so much? I feel like I am 16 when I am riding, and that feeling never gets old.😀🚴♂
Note that 520,000 divided by [80 times 365] says he's been biking an average of 18 km (~11 miles) each day since he was born. If he's taken half his days off-for example, by not biking in the first third of his life (26y) and then 75% of days in the latter two thirds of his life)-that's 36 km per biking day. In no way a slouch, but it's no Herculean effort either. Just ("just") dedication and consistency across many days.
I know what follows is mere anecdote, but plenty of other long-time cyclists have a similar story. I'll be eighty this Spring. I amaze medical people when they find out that I'm not on any medication. This morning I had my blood pressure checked. It was 113/58, and my blood glucose was 5.4. The pharmacist commented, "Great". The health benefits of cycling, I'm quite sure, are real, and should be more widely known.
Yeah , I had to work very very very hard to survive. Lots of people have had it easier and got to goof off. I have mostly Canadian Politicians for wiping me out financially 4X. I am forcibly retired by them due to Covid response laws. It actually has been a blessing and I live in SE Asia and have a bicycle as only means of transport. I am out of their policies.
I’m 32 years old I luv to here story’s from elderly people this is amazing over the years I put over 80 ,000 miles

Stray Kids everywhere all around the world
When did they start using electric bikes?
quien viene de la clase de inglés 🤓☝🏻
How pay for this age 35?
Self employment, work seasonally don't waste $ on things that give you temporary pleasure.
*but he is riding electric bike*
He is now but watch the film, he wasn't the whole time.
No buts at all even if he did mo st riding in a electric bike what die s it matter but he didnt
He is not 78 he is 15
muy deportista el anciano
He's better than world guinness record
14 bikes dont pay for themselves more people would do stuff if they they had the money and or no commitments
..... on an electric bike
I’ve noticed many older people in the USA get involved in sports than in the U.K.
Social Security will be bankrupt soon .....because of people like that😅
!!!
That's an ebike. It's basically cheating no matter how old you are
