At the very beginning we are supposed to say, how all of these began. Long time ago our friend, Vašek Liška, from now on to be signed as Mr. Liška (or Fox), got lost himself in dreams and said:” May be, I am just saying shits, however how about riding whole Tour de France by footbike…?”
It is very close to reality, that Mr. Liška said this when playing our favorite desk table cycling game PELOTON, when he for the first and also least time won with Marco Pantani, of course he was cheating that time. Despite of that cheating we have sided with him, as he is really not a very good player of PELOTON. We just laughed about his Tour idea – nobody of us knew that this was a breakpoint. From time to time Mr. Liška was talking about his plan, later renamed to sportive dream, so we have not forgotten it at all.
Time has been running through days, weeks, months and ages, we were getting older and we were slowly changing our main sport, athletics, for footbiking. Mr. Liška´s sportive dream was suddenly taken into account and renamed from “impossible” to “what if…”
In 2009 we started our e-kolobezka.cz project to help footbike sport and footbikes themselves in Europe. From that point on, it was just a short step to real planning of "Tour de France by Footbike" project.
On November 6th 2010 we met Mr. Josef Zimovčák. This guy had ridden whole Tour distance one day before cyclist by historical high bike in 2005. The output of our meeting was great. “What if” rapidly changed to “Yes, we can!!!” From that point on we started our preparations for July 2013 hell on the French roads.
Today, one year later, we stay here with complete "Kick Your Life, Kick France 2013 – Tour de France by Footbike" project in hands. Our preparations and training will be running another 19 moths till July 2013.
And then? If footbike God was not against, we would meet each other under the Arc de Triumphe in Paris some three weeks later, with Alps and Pyrenees in our legs and a dream that came true…
Just follow us, stay with us and keep your finger cross!!! We will keep you updated.
