I started cycling in 1977. I ____ through 143 countries and altogether I have cycled 520,000km. Tilmann Waldthaler is 78 years old. I don't ____ 80, I don't think like an 80-year-old person, I don't ____ like an 80-year-old person, because I can ____ my bike and do 160km today. He set off on a touring bike when he was 35. On my very first big trip from New Zealand to Norway I was on the road for five years. These five years on the bike, it was my apprenticeship in life because it ____ me - I ____ a different person. Over four decades crisscrossing the world he ____ celebrities, been hit by a bus and held a gunpoint. The adventure is full of stories. The positive stories are by far more than the negative stories. I met my wife in the Sahara cycling. She was cycling all by herself on a bicycle like I was. I thought this must be a strong woman, must be a fantastic woman going all by herself through the Sahara. We ____ together ever since. We ____ any kids but we had 14 bikes. I'm very privileged and I'm very happy to have a wife who accepts me as what I am because she's half-crazy herself. The couple settled in Cairns and still cycle everyday. I have been told I am very fortunate I am almost 80 but I live in the body of a 50-year-old. I ____ any tablets, blood thinners or whatever people take. It ____ how old you are. If you really want to do something, if you really are energetic enough, you can fulfill your dreams and this is my dream - to go cycling. I'm still going, I'm still going, and I ____ ____
