Great man, great interview. He came from a time where stuff was repaired if it got broken. These days very little gets fixed. Almost everything is disposable
I wonder where the bike is now? I have and ride a black 1949 Raliegh Roadster 3 speed, rod brakes etc. it's a good old bike and I suspect rare…. 30mph down the hills!
Hey dont knock it, 2021 the incentive now get out of your car and (on yer bike) in the winter of his life he is still fit enough 16 miles on a sunday not bad for at all…absolute legend
50 years riding the same bicycle. From the interaction between his ass and the saddle there's a lot of human atoms in the bicycle and a lot of bicycle atoms in him. Hes fast becoming half bike half human!😂😂.

I am not so sure the song at the end of the conversation was appropriate for that man and his antique bicycle.
[holding bike] “The last offer was a hundred pound.” “And did you accept it?”
Cycled 50,000 miles over 50 years on a second hand bicycle, what a legend. 🚲👍
It certainly looks like it's done a turn or two
Love this story 💕💕💕

Breaks!!!! what are those…..
it's had 10 new sets of wheels and 10 new frames and saddles but it's the same bike
I'm going to be sad when my generation is this old, we won't match the class of those before us.

Great… This makes me want to dig my old bicycle out of my shed and go ride it…. Hummm maybe not. God bless you all out there..
I love your channel and old these old,footage… I live in Belgium and have nothing to do with Ireland though..
Flan O'Brien would be proud. The man is likely to be 70% bicycle by this time
This is so Father Ted. Surprised theyre not visiting St. Kevins Stump
Imagine if he had hydraulic disc brakes
The oldest bicycle in Ireland? Twink!
The brakes would be handy going down a steep hill many men and women know when it was too late
