A city-based father and son duo embarked on a 55-day-long road trip to London on Thursday.

PathCare Labs chairman and managing director G.V. Prasad along with his younger son, Rakshith, a medical student, commenced their expedition on two bikes, and would cover 17,000 km passing through two continents and 16 countries on the historical silk route.

Dr. Prasad gave voice to his passion to ride two-wheelers on national and international roads three years ago and has so far covered over 96,697 km. He is an active member of Harley Davidson Bikers’ Group and owns 10 super bikes.

“For me, riding is freedom of joy and living the dreams,” Dr. Prasad said.

Mr. Rakshith, who was inspired by his father, said bike-riding taught him discipline, tolerance, sharing, bonding and leadership.
