Happy 104th Birthday, Octavio Orduno, Believed To Be "World's Oldest Bicyclist"; See VIDEO As He Rides Thru LB

(March 14, 2012) -- Charles Gandy draws our attention to today's (March 14) 104th birthday of Octavio Orduno...believed by Mr. Gandy to be the world's oldest bicyclist.

CharlesGandy.com captured and uploaded VIDEO of Mr. Orduno pedaling through Long Beach last week. "Take a look at how spry and active regular bicycling has kept him," Mr. Gandy writes.

Mr. Gandy adds that Mr. Orduno offers this advice about living:

• 1. Laugh a lot
• 2. Eat beans and rice, broccoli, cheerios with a banana, and avoid meat and alcohol
• 3. Live actively

And when Octavio rides by someone his junior sitting around, he usually yells out, "Hey old Man!"

From LBReport.com: Happy birthday, Mr. Orduno.

Disclosure: We dislike LB's government imposed bicycle mania including its bike only lanes, "bicycle boulevards" and "sharrows" that create congestion, consume taxpayer-paid roadway and were basically dictated without Council votes on each project. However, until recently LBReport.com enjoyed a 10 speed bike (his and hers bikes while dating our now-spouse) and last month, while taking a ride with our kidlets, the gear derailleur (bent in a previous mishap) caught a spoke and tore itself off the frame. Jax Bikes tells us the frame is a total loss. If you have a spare used bike you're not using (at least three speed, please) and would like to donate it to an overweight internet editor, please email us: mail@lbreport.com. Thank you.
