Richard Haket

ABOUT

Was born in America. His first travel started in 1973 to South Africa with his mom to see distant family. Since then, passion for travelling has grown. In 1979 he started to do shorter bike trips – Mexico and Netherlands. In 1986 he went to the Netherlands on a 10-spd bike to look for his family roots and ended up with 12 visited European countries. In 1987 was time to learn something about the USA, where he was trying to go through as many states as possible. In October of 1987, he made another trip to Australia, from where he continued to see New Zealand, Tasmania and Perth. Next year was also Asia on schedule, where he bought a new mountain bike, with which he travelled through Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Macao, China, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Many more countries followed afterwards. In 2014 he got his first recumbent bike, AZUB SIX, called „Gemini“. Since then, Richard is touring the world on this bike and he didn’t regret the choice.
