Intense Tech

Yours truly loves intense tech designed to deal with intense environments, in this case, Antarctica, the coldest place on earth where Maria Leijerstam became the first person to get to the South Pole using a recumbent bike designed by Inspired Cycle Engineering to do the deed. 

Until now, no one reached the South Pole through cycling. Last winter, polar explorer Eric Larsen attempted to become the first person to cycle to the South Pole, but due to extreme adverse weather, he was forced to abandon the attempt.

However, this year many people also attempted to become the first person to cycle to the South Pole, and finally, 35-year-old British adventurer Maria Leijerstam has become the very first person, cycling to the South Pole.

However, to become the world’s first person reaching to the South Pole through cycling, Leijerstam used a recumbent fat-tired tricycle, nicknamed the White ICE Cycle, which is manufacturer by the UK’s Inspired Cycle Engineering (ICE).

Pretty cool I must say. :)
