We got to know this warm and loving irish man in a small town, Tiszakécske, Hungary a few weeks ago where he took part on an incredible meeting of IVCA (International Veteran Cycle Association). There are few bicycling resumes more impressive than the one Peter Matthews has lived for the last 80 years.
At his Dublin home he has completely renovated a collection of bikes, much of which date back to the late 1800’s. However what Peter stands for is far more than the tale of a builder or collector of things pedalable. This beautiful “bike” was originally made in 1868.
