Pedal Pusher Last week, on December 29, Ajay Lalwani returned from a 45-day,
7500-km long ‘Blind Cycling Expedition’ from Mumbai to Kashmir to Kanyakumari,
along with an 18-member crew comprising a cook, a massager, drivers,
photographers and a navigator. Sponsored mostly by an electric lighting
company, partly by a crowdfunding campaign and “ten per cent by me”, the trip
saw the “100 per cent blind” Lalwani, a telephone operator at BMC’s disaster
management cell, pedalling through rainy bits of Rajasthan and steep Western
ghats with the help of a navigation co-ordinator who screamed directions into
his walkie-talkie throughout the journey. “At times, the cook replaced the
navigation coordinator as it’s a tiring job,” says Lalwani, who had lugged
400kgs of groceries along, adding that the crew took turns cooking through the
trip that saw them camping at various locations. Except for the nervous-making,
steep ascents at the ghats between Udhampur and Pathankot marked by relentless
honking, Lalwani says the ride was smooth. “I didn’t suffer from cramps or
dehydration at any point,” says the 25-year[1]old who had undertaken two
long-distance expeditions in the preceding years. While his room in Worli’s BMC
colony chews up more than half his salary every month, Lalwani spends the hours
he would have lost commuting from his family home in Ulhasnagar to his
workplace at Fort, pedalling towards a dream: “I want to summit Everest. ”
