For endurance cyclists Gokul Krishna and Raman Garimella, a hundred-kilometre ride is a walk in the park. Literally. 

Gokul and Raman, both of whom are from Hyderabad, pursued their passion for cycling in their own unique ways. They have also cycled together and worked together. They now bring their collective experience to a book called "Escape Velocity: The Definitive Desi Guide to Cycling" for anyone who is a cycling newbie. In this episode, they talk about their book, their cycling adventures; and which desi cyclist's story is complete without a shout-out to Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Maga Maharaju, Race 3 and Srimanthudu? 

Gokul also co-owns The Bike Affair, a bicycle store in Hyderabad. Also, if you want to listen to more of him, head to his podcast: https://anchor.fm/theindiancyclingpodcast
