Who was Anil Kadsur?
Anil Kadsur was a cyclist and a fitness trainer hailing from Bangalore. He was 45 years old. He became recognised for pedalling 100 kilometres every day, earning him the title “century cyclist.” He was also referred as Cycle Yogi and Cycle Guru by many.
With more than ten years of riding experience and a staggering 2,25,000 kilometres of pedalling, he was an experienced rider. Interestingly, he rode a rotation of six fixed-gear cycles, or “fixies,” in his fleet.
On August 2, 2020, Kadsur set out to ride 100 kilometres for nine straight days. As he continued to ride, the challenge turned into a routine and it then became a mission.
One of the main factors in Kadsur’s three and a half-year string of successful “century rides” was his disciplined lifestyle. His training sessions in Bengaluru took place every 100 km, starting at 3 am when he got up and ending at precisely 7 am. He was married to his wife Sindhu.
