It is particularly impressive that this actually worked – they are still married and his knees haven’t given out on him (a Pakistani friend rode in the same area in the 1990s, the terrain is rough and they only had old style British 3 speed bikes (with a particularly obscure type of inner tube valve) even then. He only went a short distance in the Punjab but it totally knackered him to the point he couldn’t believe it was possible to cycle just 6km every day to and from work like I did and he was younger and lived a far healthier lifestyle.
I suspect the Indian dude still rides his bike or keeps in good health as he looks nearer 44 than 64….
