Larry Lessard says he has two passions in life – cycling and recycling. For the next year, the mechanical engineering professor will be using both to fuel a trip of a lifetime.
Lessard is just days away from a cycling tour that will take him around the world. Starting in Paris, France on July 1, Lessard will ride for a year or more, rolling into Montreal sometime next summer. By trip’s end, Lessard will have covered over 20,000 kilometres and traversed 28 countries through three continents.
