Old Giffer in Riding the same old bike for years Shocker!!!
So a fella living in one of the flattest part of the country rides an old Raleigh one mile a day and it doesn’t explode, hardly a testament to the durability of British craftsmanship though is it, I mean assuming he’s done one mile a day every working day for the last 60 years he’s clocked up ~ 20000 miles of low stress utterly dull milage, this bloke can hardly claim to be a “Passionate” cyclist the hey day of British road cycling (which he will have lived through) seems to have totally bypassed him, instead he’s stuck on a 1950’s shopper expecting us all to marvel at him, I don’t…
There are lot’s of older people, many of them have done far more with their lives, than simply own and barely use a bike for 57 years…
Why doesn’t he just buy a Civic like all the other old duffers in Camb’s?
