00:00Well, here we are in Oak Apple Road to see Augustus Winsock, the oldest living cyclist in the world, overtaking a parked vehicle.

00:09What a superb opportunity this is for all young cyclists to see the master in action.

00:14What elbows. What knees.

00:17And now, as he approaches, he looks back to check on traffic behind him.

00:21He makes a signal. Nothing sloppy there. Absolutely clear to anything coming behind.

00:26And now he moves out so he can see ahead. Slows up to let traffic go by.

00:32And now, smartly past the vehicle and tucked in again close to the curb.

00:37When you see an action like that, so gracefully, so correctly performed, you understand just why he stayed alive so long.
