PETALING JAYA:
Law Tzuo Hann has never gone scouting, camping or hiking. Hel ikes cycling but reckons that, like an other average person, he has doneabout 500km of cycling. Have wheels will travel: Law posing for a photo at the Devil's KitchenLake in Illinois on Day 28 of his journey from the United States.At the Duke University in North Carolina, where Law, 22, graduated inbiomedical engineering and economics, it hit him that it would be a greatidea to see the world on wheels. He spent his entire fourth yearresearching for equipment and routes, working on raising money and talkingto people who had done similar trips. And, on May 28, he started from theUnited States on his great cycling adventure heading back home to Taiping,Perak. He pedalled off from Los Angeles, reaching Washington DC in 38 days,covering a distance of 5,625km. “Flying does not really count since youexperience isolated regions instead of experiencing how they connect to eachother,” he said. “Travelling in a motorised vehicle is common and does notallow you the many nuances of travel like the sounds, smell and contact withpeople. “Walking is too slow. I do want to get on with life, so cyclingseemed perfect,” he said in a phone interview. “I like cycling. I have somesavings, no girlfriend or job or commitments. It is the best time to do itand here I am,” he said. He cycles about 150km daily and his daily routinebegins between 5.45am and 6.30am, stopping at about 7.30pm. He takes athree-hour break in the middle of the day. Yesterday, he flew to Dublin,Ireland, to begin the European leg of the journey. He has another 15,000kmto go. He said that he would like to see emerging from this adventure was acharitable effort involving international and domestic organisations, andsaid that matters were being worked out to channel funds to a few suchorganisations in Malaysia and the Mae Tao Clinic in Myanmar.
