BERBEKAL RM7 KAYUH BASIKAL KELILING DUNIA

[dipetik dari Kosmo! 13 09 09]


TOKYO - Seorang pelancong Jepun, Keiichi Iwasaki berbasikal merentasi 37 buah negara dengan membawa wang sebanyak A$2 (RM7) ketika dia memulakan perjalanan, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Iwasaki, 36, meninggalkan kediamannya di Jepun pada 2001 selepas bosan bekerja di pejabat.

Selepas berbasikal menjelajah Jepun selama setahun, dia memutuskan untuk meneruskan perjalanan sehingga ke Korea Selatan dan mengembara ke 36 negara lain.

Ketika mengembara, Iwasaki pernah dikejar oleh seekor anjing di Tibet, dirompak oleh lanun dan ditangkap ketika memasuki India.

Dia sudah berbasikal lebih 45,000 kilometer.

"Saya tidak mahu menaiki kapal terbang kerana mahu melihat dan menyaksikan sendiri kawasan di sekeliling saya dengan deria saya.

"Saya dapat merasai atmosfera di mana saya berada semasa berbasikal," katanya.

Bagi menyara dirinya, Iwasaki melakukan persembahan jalanan semasa berhenti di sesuatu lokasi.

Dia merancang untuk menulis buku berhubung pengembaraannya itu. - Agensi

Main Air di Tasik Wetland

To me personally,this is my third ride with my fellow PERs and must say,it was quite fun riding through the flooded section of the trail.My special thanks to Col Azudin for taking such a nice photo of me behaving like young boys when I rode.And my thanks also to all fellow riders-Bond,wife and son;Dr Azmi and wife,Col Azudin and Aliff.If not because of the rains in the early morning,more people could have taken part.Anyway,eight of us is more than enough, the more the merrier..

Immediately after the rains stopped we jumped onto our bikes.On the way,we stopped like before to take photos.For more photos,please see them at Ghazali aka Bond's Facebook.After we passed through the flooded section,I shared bananas with Col Azudin and Bond's son.Then a thought came over me of taking my photo like the one shown on the right.I have to cycle back and rode again.Col Azudin was the photographer.Thanks my friend for such a nice shot of this old chap who thought he was only 17 years old while doing the act of riding at 'high speed' through the waters..[btw,I am almost 57 yrs old]

Along the way,I saw Paul,a real Englishman who rode with his wife and four kids.My thought flashed back to 10 years ago when my youngest son then was ten years old and we rode together around our neighbourhood.If only I am younger with young kids!For those who have kids,enjoy cycling with them before they prefer to be on their own like mine.Don't wait,they are growing bigger and older every day.

BANYAKNYA BASIKAL ...

SAYA masih di Worthing, UK. Di sini memang banyak basikal, namun di Amsterdam banyakkkkknyaaaa basikal.... saya jumpa foto ini.

IT'S WORTH CYCLING IN WORTHING

BERBASIKAL DI UK

Penerbangan MH02 yang dijadualkan mendarat di Heathrow pada jam 5:05 pagi hanya tiba pada jam 5:15. Berbekal kad keutamaan imigresen, seawal jam 6 pagi saya bertolak dari London ke Worthing, West Sussex. Tiba di hotel penginapan pada jam 7 pagi. Hari sudah siang. Cuaca cerah bagaikan jam 10 pagi, namun cuaca dingin. Oleh kerana pihak hotel tidak menerima check-in awal, saya menyimpan barang dan merayau-rayau di sekitar Worthing.

Banyak sekali orang berbasikal di sini. Sepanjang saya merayau dari jam 7am hingga 11am. Bermacam jenis orang dengan pelbagai jenis basikal dikayuh di sini. Ada basikal jalan, basikal gunung, basikal kota dan juga basikal lipat. Kanak-kanak dengan BMX. Sepanjang-panjang yang saya ingat, bebetapa jenama yang jelas kelihatan ialah Specialize, Scott, Giant dan Raleigh.

Jam 4 petang saya merayau lagi setelah check-in pada jam 11.30am. Kali ini lebih banyak orang berbasikal. Ada yang berpakaian lengkap dengan kasut klip dan helmet. Ada yang santai dan berhelmet. Ada yang tanpa helmet dan ada juga yang hanya memakai seluar sahaja, tanpa baju dan helmet. Mereka cukup enjoy. Saya juga enjoy menikmati keindahan alam …
