We accept any age bike and rider. Seriously though folks, this is Dr. John W. Long, from Sallis, Mississippi on his Flanders. "Grandad would make house calls to deliver babies & such on his bike. After this he had an Indian. He died in 1939" and his grandson, Johnny, "born in 1942 never met him. By all accounts he was a delightful person, bright, daring, and with a great sense of humour."
