    Fred Mathes rides his bike to the post office (which in this neighborhood is inside the local video store), to the local diner, and out through the open fields.

    He's 92. His bicycle -- a black, still-shiny, three-speed Schwinn -- is 56.

    I think we should rename Fred's House of Pancakes in honour of Fred. :)
