Have read about this biker!?

[Anil Kadsur]

Bikers,

I just happen to read this....

Certain info what i read found it very difficult to believe, like....

Meet 73-year-old Pritam Singh Saini, who bicycles 260 km everyday just to keep his blood warm.

Pritam Singh, betters his cycling record at each event (100 km in 1 hr, 45 mins)

He figures in the Guinness Book of World Records (1993) for cycling the maximum number of km per day, i.e., 357 km.

It takes him 12 hours to cover the 386 km.

Dont you think few claims exaggerated? NJ took 2:30 hrs to complete 100 kms and Sridhar Savanoor took 1 hour 10 minutes to complete 52km during Vodaphone event. It may be possible in a controlled environment or drafting.

[anil s kadsur]

That is what put me into lot of surprises...

Even 260 kms on a daily basis is too difficult to believe....I can count in fingers where I crossed 550 kms per week....really tough

You spoiled the faith of many people. We are people not impressed by anything less than a miracle or super power :-)

It is commendable that you did the further research whereas most people had already given up after reading some of the numbers in the first post LOL

LOL. All that is missing is a documentary on Pritam Singh's super
powers. We should ask Massimo Mazzucco to do it. Then Mayank can say
the bicyclist lobby is against Pritam Singh and has never considered
his achievements because he rides an Atlas Goldline and not a
full-carbon bike.

It isn't hard at all -- we live in a world where information is
literally at your fingertips thanks to Google et al. Of course, it
requires some ability to discriminate between fake stuff and real
stuff, but as long as you remain skeptical, this is the most
enlightened age to live in human history.

The world record for maximum distance travelled on a cycle in a country is 15000kms!!!

probably khalsa could not carry out longer trips! at 260kms per day? I think the post is fake indeed.

Anil

You are dangerously treading into the OT space of magic! LOL!!

Magic is illusion and good to be inspired by. 

100 in 1:45 and as Sandeep said, I lost interest too!

Appreciate  Sreepathi for extracting the real deal from the archive - Wow, you went that far.

Cheers
