I don’t normally write anything about bicycles since this blog is about tadpole trikes. However, I am so impressed with this cyclist that I decided to share about him here as an “extra bonus”. This Frenchman, Robert Marchand, is 105 years old (maybe that should read “young”) and just recently set a new world record for his age group. Actually they had to make a new age group for him. He pedaled just over 14 miles in one hour attempting to beat his previous record. I couldn’t do that at half his age. All I can say is … “WOW !” Now he says he is waiting on a rival to compete against him. 🙂 Any takers? You can read about him HERE and HERE. And here is the Wikipedia writeup.
He has my admiration. Now if we could just talk him into riding a tadpole trike while he is still around and able he could really have some fun and …
ENJOY THE RIDE!
(IN COMFORT)
A FREE GIFT awaits you!
You are right to write about his accomplishments at his age and I also agree that he would enjoy a trike.. Maybe then he wouldn’t have such a pained look on his face.. I thoroughly enjoy your stories and read each and every one……Merida
