A visit to the grandfather

[simo105]

So today I went with the parents to visit the grandfather who we dont get to see very much due to distance and the fact hes always on his bike! His birthday is this friday and he will be 74! But he still clocks up 13000 a year! I struggle to do a 1000. He took me a tour round his bikes 23 in total! 3 tandems 1 trike 2 recumbents and more! Both of the recumbents he built himself and one folds up into a suitcase lol. Anyways took a few snaps and I thought id share them with you!

Your Grandad sounds like a wonderful grandad, rescuing bikes, cycling and keeping them in the house.

Chapeau to your Grandfather.

Respect to grandad 13000 miles a year is some going at any age yet alone 74 puts us young pups to shame

You have to watch these 74 year olds. I was cycling with one today. "I only cycle with the slow group" he said before sprinting off with me desperately trying to keep up...

 

[simo105]

Im hoping to join him on a ride soon but I probably wont keep up lol
