Russ Mantle, from Aldershot, Hampshire has tracked every ride he took over the last 68 years of his life.
He completed his millionth mile at the age of 82,, to the a cheering crowd at the Canal Cafe at Mytchett last week.
When asked what he loved about riding, he had this to say.
“It’s just the sheer mobility of it, the convenience of a bike, when I go shopping I can park it right next to the entrance door, no walking, meet clubs, make friends on the bike, it’s always been natural to me to do it on a bike.”
What’s your excuse?
