Yeah, actually quite an emotive article really.
Amazing life on wheels though. Wonder what his lifetime mileage is? I know he passed half a million miles 20 years ago. Edit, just did some googling and found an article that say 650000 in 2006! Jaw dropping.
I remember listening to an interview on radio with him and he had a map of Scotland that he had marked up when he had ridden along a road. He certainly did not seem to think there was any left to be marked up.
I hope he has a good few years left in him still though!

Encountered him doing a 400 in Scotland last year, had no idea who he was at that point and was thinking 'who is this under-prepared looking old guy - surely he's not doing this whole ride'. Was obviously proved very wrong...
The pictures of the broken frame he did 500km on are great. http://www.owenphilipson.com/blog/2010/09/12/george-berwick-500km-on-a-broken-frame/

Who has, sadly, been told he's done too many endurance events ...
