5:20 PM Ride Like King

Right now King Liu is on a mission to make bicycles more important. Last year the 75 year old founder of Giant Bicycles did a Tour of Taiwan that raised so much awareness for cycling it created a Cycling boom. He is at it again.

This year it is in China. He started his ride on May 8th. The goal is to ride from Beijing to Shanghai. In honor of his incredible ride Giant Employees all over the world got on there bikes on the 8th to help him kick it off. I did my ride the night before and then spent part of the 8th chasing the different rides (for Giant USA) to grab some photos. We'll be sending them his way during his tour to help keep him motivated.

Below is one of my last shots of the day.

Technical hooha:

Enjoy!
