Bharat Manjrekar of Team Gear, who specialise in BMX bicycle stunts, participated with his team in the Amateur 24km green ride at the Being Human Mumbai Cyclothon yesterday with a purpose. "We took part in this event, to promote BMX flat land stunts in India," Bharat told MiD DAY, adding: "We were also part of the Bengaluru Cyclothon. We are the only group in Mumbai that performs flat land stunts. It's not risky, you just need practice and patience.
"We practise every day from 10pm to 12am outside Wilson College (Chowpatty). Since, we have don't have a proper place to do train, the police normally drive us out. People think this is a circus, but it's not. This is serious sport," said Bharat signing off with a wheelie.
