The 84 year-old cyclist

By Johnny, November 6, 2009 1:59 am

I saw this story floating around Twitter last week and was in complete awe. Here I am complaining on how tired I was on my 55 miles jaunt around LA when Lan Yin Tsai aka Eiko who is 84 years old and rides 150 miles in one day every year for the past 26 years! She’s not dressed in any kind of exercise uniform but rather a dress, tweed jacket, and high heels. When asked why she rides in high heels, she humbly responds that was what she normally rides in. In addition to her dedication, she is doing this for a good cause. The ride benefits MS patients in the New Jersey area. Her persistence is envious and I can only wish I will live that long and still be on a bike. Find a photo of her below. She should be the forth photo in.

Eiko - an inspiration!
