'I survived two sandstorms and nearly ran out of water in the Sahara Desert,' says man who biked from London to Lagos
Kunle Adeyanju is a self-confessed daredevil who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice and cycled from Lagos to Accra over three days. But it is his latest adventure that is creating a buzz after he successfully completed a motorcycle ride from London to Lagos. The journey took 41 days as he traveled 13,000 kilometers (8,080 miles) through 11 countries and 31 cities. Adeyanju embarked on the trip partly to raise money for polio, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Ikoyi Metro, Nigeria, where he is president-elect. He says he chose the cause because of a childhood friend who suffered from the debilitating illness. “Polio is a personal thing for me... as a boy, my best friend had polio and when we go swimming or play football, he could do none of those things. Sadly, my friend passed away some years back. If he hadn't had polio, he probably will still be alive today.”
