Spotted in the The Wheelie Good Round-Up - Going Going Bike, October 2012
The oldest paperboy You’d think being a paperboy is a young man’s (or woman for that matter) game but that is not always the case. Jim English from Angarrack, Cornwall, has been doing his paperboy round for 20 years on his bike. Alas he has taken retirement at the age of 70 following a collision with a car as he was biking his way to work. Jim, who helped to create the iconic Raleigh Chopper bike, is thankfully making a recovery from his broken ankle and hopes to be back on his racing bike for more leisurely rides in the near future. Jim, you’re an inspiration.
