[QUOTE 2476772, member: 30090"]49 years old and still going strong. He has a good attitude to other road users as well.[/quote]
And a very young looking 49 too. If I'd had to guess I'd have said something closer to 35.

Respect!

That makes my cycling log look pathetic 407 miles this year !!!

 

[HLaB]

Light weight Now this is what you call serious mileage

 

[gaz]

A lot of couriers in cities do millage like that.

 

[John Shingler]

yeah, in fact that's not really that much ))

The guy seems to have a good attitude. I love filtering but there were a few between-vehicle passes (like the one between the two taxis) that made me cringe a bit on that video!

I worked for several months as a motorcycle courier ten years ago while I was between jobs and found it amazingly good fun overall. I averaged 200 miles a day but then I had a 600cc engine to help. I have loads of respect for cycle couriers like this guy - in the middle of winter it's a very tough way to earn not much money.

Oh, disappointed: thought it was about Mr Hippo!

Splendid effort, though.
