Rian Kumar cycles 109 km non-stop; his feat is recorded by the World Book of Records
Your child may not take to your profession, but the odds are higher that they will adopt your hobby if you just get them mildly inquisitive about it. They may match strides with you sooner than expected — when their shoe is hardly half the size of yours. Retired naval officer Gauri Mishra will concur with that postulate, recasting it only superficially by replacing shoe with pedal.
“His two pedals equal to one pedal of my cycle,” Gauri gives an inkling of the dimensions of her son Rian Kumar’s world, whose Doppler-shift denotes it is not far removed from the world of doggedly goal-focussed grownups.
His seventh birthday still separated by a month, Rian is the possessor of a cycling record: The youngest to have clocked 109 km non-stop, a feat monitored and recorded by the World Book of Records, London this July.
