Hungarian adventurer to conquer the peak of Kilimanjaro by bicycle
Change language:
The expedition will start at the shores of the Indian Ocean, from where Hungarian adventurer Viktor Zichó will approach the highest point of Africa, the 5,895-metre-high peak of Kilimanjaro, by bike.
Originally, the special adventure would have started at the beginning of October, but due to some difficulties with the issuance of the Kenyan visa, the Hungarian extreme athlete started the expedition on Tuesday and will presumably reach the highest point of Africa on 12th October, but in no ordinary way:
the Hungarian adventurer plans to reach the 5,895-metre-high peak of Kilimanjaro mainly by bike.
According to his plan, he can get up to about 4,900 metres on two wheels, and then on the last 1,000 metres, he will continue partly by pushing the bike, partly by carrying it on his back to the top. The most dangerous part of the extreme cycling-climbing expedition starts from here, as the goal of the Hungarian sportsman is to roll off the top on two wheels, on the rough, high-mountain terrain, reported Index.
