One hundred year old creates record in 100 km speed - cycle riding

That is pretty awesome , He is healthier than so much young people . Some young people are not active and easily tired and stress out, good for him .

Wow! That is very good to hear, ravi. I also went on Yahoo! and saw pictures of him practicing for the race. He looks so good for his age. His face looks very good. That is a great accomplishment. At first when I read that he said he was "going to set the world record for the over-100 year age group over 100km" I wondered how many there were of his age competing! Then I read farther down in the article that the age group was created for him! How wonderful that he is so healthy and such an inspiration to anyone who wants to achieve a goal. Actually he is an inspiration to everyone. Thank you for another wonderful bit of news! I am amazed at this man and what he has accomplished. It would be nice to have a conversation with him. I'm sure he's led an interesting life.

I think it is a good thing to do cycling. I also think that age does not matter on various things. I do think it is good thing to do.

A nice and a cool story indeed. This might turn history. I am not sure how often he gone to hospital for his health. Hope he might not have gone there much. If he is riding at this age, he would have go more for another 20 - 25 years I guess. He has come good qualities. I envy really. He is a man who have existed in days where no phone and also existing in this iPhone 5 era. I am glad to see such news. This makes me more energetic and gives encouragement. Have a great weekend.

This is a cool story. I'd love to be still riding at 100 years old. I probably won't be doing anything at that age though. I have ancestors that lived past 100 but I don't take much after them. This little guy is built like a racer too. Five feet tall 112 pounds. I'm almost twice as big as he is. Only thing I wish is that discussion was put under cycling. I feel like I'm the only one starting discussions over there. There have got to be a lot more cyclist on myLot than I talk to over there.

Hi Ravi, good to hear about this achievement. Nice to know that some persons achieve a lot in their old age, it clearly shows that age is not a barrier to achieve our goals in our life. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart

hi ravisivan wow thats really some record and he does n ot really look 100 yrs old either.evidently he has maintained almost prefect health.wish I could say that about my self.it goes to show that healthy old agers can do almost anything they set their mind to.not smoking and drinking and carusing around must really h ave led to his greatness at his age. I am really impressed. And here I am tied to a walker with diverticulitis and a hernia but I am not complaining as I found out that three ibuprofen tablets could stop the pain of a diverticulitis gastric attack. I tried that as at three this afternoon I was in such pain and a half hour later took the ibuprofin and in forty minutes the pain stopped and I feel human again.my problems all started when unwittingly in my forties and fities I gained a lot of weight which caused me to get type 2 diabetes, I only wish I had known then that fat works to defeat insulin onits way to push sugar into our cells where it is needed and thus the sugar remains in our blood where it does not belong.also I think my weight has led up to the umbilical hernia I now have. too soon old and too late smart as the germanman once said.

I would like to be able to think that I will be able to be in that good of shape when I am at this gentleman's age. However, I don't know if that will be the case because we've never had anyone in our family that has actually lived through an entire century. Now, there is a woman that my father used to work with when he was alive that is a runner. She is in her late 80s now and she regularly finishes first in the 55 and older age division in the 5K and 10K races that are held around here.

Ravi bhai Thanks for the link and the information, well in usa because of cold weather people are active, and healthy till late age compared to we indians I have a god daughter in Iowa, her dad is 98, still active yes this only confirms age is not a factor that can affect a person's performance but his own health condition is relevant. I was so active few years ago, but not that much now. today i read in newspaper about Manna Kaur, born in Patiala in 1916 , she took part in half marathan, held in Delhi on 30 september hats off to this 96 years YOUNG lady

Wow!!!! thats very good news and how excited the people before 100 years also. How you search this great news. Ohhh from mylot search nice uncle now really feel bored and you give good idea check the friends profile their discussion and respond on it.

It was probably a woman saying, "On yer bike!" that set him on his cycle quest in the first place. Personally I don't see what he achieved by going round and round a track to set the record, other than setting the record. It certainly isn't on my bucket list, but each to their own I suppose.

such people are very inspiring to others, many who are 60 years feel that, they have lived much , and its enough, i hate that feeling, this man is sure going to inspire many of them.

This is an amazing story! Imagine a 101 year old is still able to ride a bike and on top of that ride a 100km bike for more than four hours. Awesome! I wish that when I become old I'd still be healthy and able to ride my bike. Actually, I am a biker myself and biking is my favorite form of exercise. I usually ride a few times a week but I've never really tried a 100km ride. I am currently 30 years old and I couldn't even myself finishing a 100km bike ride. I do plan to do it one day but as of now, I am currently not at that level. Anyway, I agree with you that age is not a factor in order to achieve great things. Well, we have to admit, it will be a lot harder to achieve good health when we will be old but it is also not impossible. If this old man can do it, I'm sure others out there who are 60 and above can still do it. This story is actually a story of determination. The lesson there is to always take care of our body and never let our age be a hindrance to achieve amazing things.

That is so awesome. I hope I can be like that when I am that age.

This is surprising to see that One hundred year old creates record in 100 km speed - cycle riding.
