Older Male cyclist Wanted!

Posted on
  • I would like to take a shot of an older man (60s) on a bike, preferably in cycling gear. I have a suitable bike or your own could be used. I just don't know anyone locally in the right age bracket. I could provide cycling shorts, top and helmet if necessary and this would suffice. It's for a poster advertising a theatre production in Glasgow. The cyclist would appear on the main image, cycling over the belly of a big Buddha, so would be small!
    I'm afraid I can't offer a fee but wondered if somebody in London fitted the bill and could spare 30 minutes. I would come to you! Would like to sort this in the next week or so if at all possible.
    Thank you in advance. Strange request, I know!
    Nick.

  • I thought this was a singles ad.

  • teeeen..... oh wait, beat me to it.
    First to mind just reading the thread title...
    either someone hypnotized me (balki ?) or teeenslain is definitely getting (h)old of one's brain

  • Fiddy :-(

  • Hence opening the thread...

  • Give a&w cycles in south Wimbledon a call (020 8542 2534) i'm pretty sure both guys in there fit your bill (both being over 60 and both not only cycling into work, but working in a cycle shop!) :)

  • Lovely old shop isn't it? I'm a bit worried about them now that there's a huge Evans open up nearby.

  • They're hardly ever open and rely on regular customers who probably won't go to the evans tbh

  • Yep used to be my lbs, now for things like wheel builds I travel the five miles to them and would travel further. Just make sure you call before visiting!

    I wouldn't say they are hardly ever open, one of them has been very ill recently though.

    For expendables I get them from the evans by my work, to my eternal shame!

  • Would my 80 yo dad be too old?

  • His is the 59 yo Gillot in front of my Prince.

  • When you say they need to be in their 60s, should you not say 'be able to look in their 60s' ? otherwise you're discriminating against prematurely grey, dashing handsome fellows who may be only 40 or less. Of indeterminate age, if you will.

    Paging dapper dan...

  • Your dad is perfect.

    let see what nick will says about this.
