Meet Eddy
by Rahul on Jan.25, 2010, under Cycling
I may never get the chance to meet Lance Armstrong but I did experience the same rush of excitement and feelings when I met, Eddy, from New Zealand. One fine day Eddy decided to tour the whole world on a c-y-c-l-e and started off, just like that, to get a whole new perspective on life. After covering about 5000km in a period of 4 months, he entered India. I was at the bike shop getting my cycle serviced when Krish told me that Eddy might drop by to get his cycle serviced.
And he did.
With his 70kg custom made cycle.
And a pack of Tiger biscuits.
Not to mention his DSLR to snap beautiful photos along the way.
That reminds me, I must watch ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’. Be on the lookout for launch of www.eddyventures.com
