Fred Mathes, 92, of California has been riding the same Schwinn for 56 years. His typical ride is 14 miles round trip. When he takes his car to be serviced, he loads his bike in the backseat and rides it 20 miles home. On his 80th birthday he rode to Oxnard, Calif., about 380 miles. When he turned 90 he rode to the Friant Dam and back - an 80 mile round trip.
He and his wife are life long conservators.
“I don’t like to throw anything away that’s valuable. We’re very careful with gasoline, electricity, water. We try to make things last."
