Over the hill? On yer bike : Former cycling champ still clocking up five miles a week on his three-wheeler... at the age of 100

A triple gold medal-winning cyclist is still riding his tricycle for five miles a week despite turning 100.

In 1937, Richard Howard won gold in a 24-hour road race covering 335 miles, a 200-mile race and another 100-mile road race - all in one month.

The centenarian used to go cycling with his wife Dorothy, and pedalled to work with his son Peter, now 63, on the back in the 1940s.

The father-of-one had not been on his bike for many years but was prompted to start again after the death of Dorothy who had a stroke aged 90 in 2007.
