Yesterday morning everyone went to the multipurpose room for a Duffy meeting with Myron Simpson (a NZ cyclist) to tell us about how reading is important and to show us his equipment. The fastest Myron ever drove his bike was 110 km an hour, and if he gets caught by a police while driving that fast past our school his fine will be $700.
Back when he was around 3 years old his older brothers helped him ride a bike on training wheels then so on. Myron then grew up and entered a Juniors World Champions in Mexico and came second. He said what made it better was that his family were there to watch. Later on he made his own little muesli bar business and called it Myrons’ Muesli.
Myron wanted to join the Olympic games team and got a sponsored bike from a club of his. He and his parent helped him make the rest of the aerodynamic equipment for the bike. His uncle also painted his aerodynamic helmet. Later on Myron told us that the sponsored bike cost $15.000 that's more than his car. After we sang the Duffy song sadly we had to go.
