Absolute legend. Got a ticking time bomb in his chest and still does a 150km bike ride. I can barely cycle to the dairy without needing a lie down.
facts. blokes got more grit than the whole national party combined
yeah nah this is the sort of news we actually need. blokes a machine. 7 ops and still going, puts my dodgy back to shame lol
wait so he had an aneurysm the size of a cricket ball and just... biked 150km?? how is that even possible. the human body is insane
lol honestly same. respect to the dude but also makes me feel useless
Imagine being 80 and holding two world records. Meanwhile I'm 21 and can't even get out of bed before noon. Fml

aww nah don't be hard on yourself. you got time. he had 80 years of practice
What a bloody legend. Donating the records to the hospital too… that's proper class. Wellington Hospital better frame those properly
get stuffed mate. at least this is a feel good story for once. not every article has to be doom and gloom
Hold on. So Stuff posts THIS but buries actual important news? Classic. Nice dude tho I guess
mate I can't even get a guinness world record for most coffees spilled on my keyboard. this bloke is built different
don't give them ideas. next thing you know they'll charge us for breathing
Heart surgery survivor AND world records? Meanwhile the government is cutting health funding. Guess we all need to become world record holders to get treatment now
too right. put him in charge of the health minister i reckon
