My hero...with an asterisk.

This guy is 103 years old and has been cycling for 40 years. According to the story he gave up the two-wheeler just a couple of years ago. He rides daily and is a kind of poster-boy for local cyclists. I say "my hero" with an asterisk because of the obvious discrepency - you will note that he does not wear a helmet - given my near miss with eternity a couple years ago I consider that the supreme stupidity...Nevertheless, I would hope to be riding around like him at 100+, maybe even contemplating a reunion ride down the West Coast.
