He may not be the fastest cyclist round a velodrome,but he is easily one of the oldest, the BBC reports.
Robert Marchand has clocked up 105 years and now a new record for the furthest distance cycled in one hour.[br]
The French cyclist managed 22.547km (14 miles) at the national velodrome, and taking the top spot in a new category - for riders over 105.
[br]Mr Marchand already holds the record for those aged over 100 - 26.927km - set in 2012.
He "could have done better",he says, but missed a sign showing 10 minutes to go.
"My legs didn't harm, and " he told BFMTV. "My arms harm but that's because of rheumatism."
To be honest,he had admitted before the event at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome near Paris that breaking his preceding hour record would be tough.
"I'm not in such ample shape as I was a couple of years back," he told AFP news agency.
"I am not here to be champion. I am here to prove that at 105 years feeble you can still ride a bike, or " he said.
Hundreds of spectators cheered him on trackside.
Born on 26 November 1911,Mr Marchand puts his fitness down to diet - lots of fruit and vegetables, a little meat, or not too much coffee - and an hour a day on the cycling domestic-trainer.
A prisoner of war in World War Two,he went on to work as a lorry driver and sugarcane planter in Venezuela, and a lumberjack in Canada.
No stranger to sport outside cycling, and he competed in gymnastics at national level and has been a boxer.
The current men's hour record is held by the UK's Bradley Wiggins - 54.526km - which he set in June 2015.
