Came across this by chance on Youtube and enjoyed watching it, so thought I'd share it on here...

Not based on fact but in a similar vein, I always thought this advert was fantastic:

My FIL.is 96 and still rides his ebike. (Not in this crappy weather). It's a bit of freedom for him having given up his license last year.

Still has his faculties, he's as sharp as most and has more awareness on the road than some folk driving around on phones/heads elsewhere.

He's an absolute legend. In the article below they got his date of birth wrong!!

Well that's cheered me up, I'm 75 next month and obviously just at the beginning of my cycling career!

My dad is 84 and still cycling with his club mid week and on a Sunday, he has even mentioned getting an ebike when he gets older! Recently retired from doing TT's and has had to convert his bikes to flat bar as was struggling with the drops due to arthritis. Always buying bikes off FB marketplace and tinkering with them and giving them a good service/clean before selling on. 75 is spring chicken territory - good luck to you!

Bloody brilliant.

I so hope I'm still out and about when I'm 90.

Just beautiful! <br />I can only hope that good health allows me to carry on. I believe the key is trying to maintain what I have for as long as possible. As Matt says above, we can only hope!

I'll watch the film later but I bloody love the advert' :o)

I look around the world and see so many people being held back by other peoples ideas of what IS and ISN'T acceptable. It breaks my heart sometimes....
