PEDALLING EXPEDITION

This expedition was another kind of pillion riding I had embarked upon, as it was a combination of both cycling and driving.

We tied the banner to the back of the jeep to create awareness on the drive, while we took the posters to distribute to food outlets visited by us on the route.
