SwissVan Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I like riding a bike but what life do you have when this is all you do??? Here's a local newspaper interview I found with the swiss gent before he set his record, its google translated so not 100% Its also not the first time he has done it, he broke the record previously and also attempted it in 2010 but suffered some medical issues and accidents which prevented him riding every day. http://translate.google.ch/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.coopzeitung.ch/6389323&prev=search A wild dog? A Spinner? A masochist? Oder einfach nicht ganz normal? Or just not normal? How can you call a man who has set himself a goal with his bike this year, 80,148 km to cover, theoretically twice to go around the earth? Ruedi Zweifel (69) grins, shrugs his shoulders. . "I do not know," he says, "You're a journalist, you are responsible for the words." And then, after a hearty laugh, "I'm just a <upper extreme Siech> - normally I'm already" insured he. In fact, as he's sitting at the table of his master cafes where every morning he meets with his colleagues for coffee, he looks quite through-average. Maybe a little less hair on my head than some, maybe a little toned, maybe a little fidgety. A happy man in any case, the "laid its egg" in life and now enjoys his pensioner's existence, does what he wants. 40 years he led in train its own garage, worked a lot, but also drove a lot of sports. In the morning he rose by 4 clock out of bed, went to 6 clock by bicycle through the night and then to work. At lunch he refused, instead saddled again its steel ass, and if the staff in the evening made an exit, he was one of the party. That with the fidgeting is easily explained: Soon there is a 10 clock, and at this time starts Ruedi doubt usually his second exit of the day. The first he has already passed. Like every day he went - a glass of milk, a glass of a magnesium-calcium drinks and yogurt in the belly - by 5 clock going. Three hours and 80 miles later, he was again Home. "No, fun did not make it," he admits. It is no wonder, since last night it rains in torrents. "Right Obenabe gseicht»'ve said doubts. Over coffee, he discusses with his colleagues usually the forthcoming second exit. His coffee colleagues are his bicycle colleagues. But in this weather stops the friendship. "When a cloud in the sky, they make limp," quips doubt. Monitoring would help it to "work" because he could rest in the slipstream something down coils in three hours its 100 kilometers to arrive 13 clock home, drinking another glass of milk, eat a Biberli and by 15 clock for its third exit leave. But now the photographer calls his right to the shoot. The first part is in doubt about the stage house, a villa actually with a fantastic view of Lake Zug - if it is not as "shallow Obenabe". The quiet of journalists being drowned idea who every day for a year abspule the workload described, could not possibly be normal, seems to deal with the extreme cyclists still. "You know, not normal I would if I was fully fixed on the bicycle-riding, if I found all the other assholes and could not deal with my fellow human beings," he says. "But I'm not all: I am a sociable person, let me like to invite you for supper - then I do not cook for themselves - and'm not going already by 22 clock home. And I'm doing anyone any harm. "As an example, tells Ruedi doubt of last Saturday, as they celebrated the 60th birthday of a colleague. "The others were tired by 23 clock because we were still on the bike in the afternoon, I stopped to thirty." Three and a half hours later, he sat back in the saddle. But the fact is: Will doubt its annual target, reaching 80,148 km, he has to travel 219 kilometers on average per day. Distance Moderately this means that pedals once a week by train to Hamburg and back. So he does not have much reserve. There is no doubt the first world record attempt. The first succeeded him 2010: With its 44 000 kilometers outperformed the former Best of professional cyclists Erik Zabel around 4000 kilometers. But in the same year it brought a former elite amateur from the South even to 61,025 km. "When I found out about it, I said to myself: 'So, doubt, now you have even ran times, and indeed right.'" He did - but no luck: He first began in May shingles and was up to 40 Grade five weeks prostrate. "I'm still driven bike, but I just did not like right." And when he was in September also drove a motorbike over the pile and thereby a fourfold broken pelvis, a double shame broken leg and three geknackste ribs einhandelte, he broke his attempt from - and launched on January 1, the new one. In early September of this year, he surpassed the South Tyrol, and currently he is around 78 000 kilometers. The second trip around the world is within reach. "Yes," says a doubt, "that's easy to say, but it's fast something happens."
