    We helped him out in Dunkeld at our shop! We gave him free labour and a nice lady in a cafe paid for the small parts. Got him going again after a coffee and cake :-)

    The most frequent word in the comments was “ amazing “ but I am not amazed by the younger Social Media self gratification, narcisstic individuals. This was a lesson in life, love and giving service to others…the human touch that most of humanity has lost. Well done old man !
    I am only 72 years old.

    What a great achievement. I thought I was doing quite well, but not as well as this, because when I hit 90 I finally succumbed to the hills where I live, and added an e-drive pedal assist kit to my road bike. He is still managing very well without so good for him, may he long continue.

    I'm 62 and did this last year. Watching this has now made me feel young so hats off to Peter for an excellent effort.

    What a guy. Huge respect 🙌🏼🙌🏼 This is what keeps you alive. Too many older people stop going out and moving then just slowly ebb away. I hope I can do something like this at his age 💪🏼He looks very young in the face for 90. Remarkable! 😊

      I did not see any panniers (saddlebags) on his bike. Overnight stays at inns?

    Great story and video/edit! So touched by the lorry driver giving money. As a cyclist myself I must say it is not that easy as some may think to do this even for a person in their twenties. All people that do this deserve credit and praise, but especially Peter.

  • @Psalm12-6KJV
    @Psalm12-6KJV Год назад +2

    Incredible. When he quotes part of Psalm 142:4 from the Bible, which in full is: I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
    Wow, that cut me in the heart that I cried and again when he got on his knees to praise God. I’ve known many homeless people myself who have also become friends - some have also died, 2 this year sadly.

    Yesterday I had a nasty crash and wrecked my bike. I was feeling really sorry for myself, all the usual “life is unfair” and “why me”. This video has just made me realise I need to “shut up stop moaning” and get on with getting the bike fixed (I’m lucky enough to have the resources to do so) and get back out. Amazing work Peter thank you.

    I slacked off cycling about 3 years ago but now back on my bikes (I have several) at 77.

    Fo your interest, and for Peter's, Bettyhill is named after Elizabeth the Duchess of Sutherland. She wanted to called the new village, made up of people she had cleared from the hinterland, Elizabeth's Mount but the locals had other ideas and so it became Bettyhill.

    This is inspiring that a 90 year-old would be so altruistic to give of his time and energy for those in need. Thank you vicar Peter for this inspiration. Even more inspiring would be to hear of his walk with Christ through his many years of serving Christ. I hope to hear his testimony of what Christ has done in his life. This is why we are here, to glorify Christ Jesus, whether then we eat or drink or whatever we do, we are to do All for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31.
