Vikram Pendse: The Indian man who loves bicycles more than gold
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-63169145 Version 0 of 1. Vikram Pendse first began collecting cycles in 1992, when a friend gifted him a British paratrooper, dating back to World War Two. The 56-year-old Indian has since built a collection of more than 150 vintage bicycles - some of which he restored on his own - and has opened a museum for them. The three-storey complex, located in the western city of Pune, also has rare bicycle accessories. Mr Pendse doesn't want to make money from his collection - he says, it is only to share his love for bicycles with the world. "These cycles are like jewels for me," he says.
