In the afternoon of 9 June in Moscow, at the zero kilometer, finished the run resident of Primorye Alexander Kashin. He travelled in single journey from Vladivostok in mid-April in a wheelchair and covered more than 11 thousand kilometers. Most of the way - on the ride.
He said it was all right. I'm fine, I'm flying home at night. Thank you all for helping, " ZR said. RU is an important traveler. A short, reassuring answer, but, in fact, it wasn't easy. Alexander's carriage is equipped with an electric motor. The speed of the movement is 5 km/h and the reserve is about 30 km. During the day Kashin recharged the battery, which made it possible to travel about 60 kilometers. If the charge ran out at points away from settlements, "voted" to "parrots", the drivers took it on board and pre-war to the place where they could rest until the JSCB was charged. "It's a long time," said Alexander's friends at the initial stage. But one day, he waited for about two hours in Chita Province, until finally a ride was stopped. And the weather on that day was still breathing in the winter. He's got a cold, got a lot of fever. In the Novosibirsk region, he was thrown into a ditch, "escorating" a truck. Alexander was hurt, and it was hard to get out of the ditch. In Kazan, he has gone to hospital due to problems with internal organs. And already in the Moscow hotel, he traumatized his leg. Biker's Relay Relay-The Son reported on everything that was happening to him-we agreed. Or maybe not everything so the houses don't worry too much, " ZR said. Alexander's mother, Lyudmila Grigorevna. At one o'clock, when the son finished, Primorje was still asleep, but she was awake, waiting for a message from Moscow. " He told me the most, how good people had helped him. The good people included not only passenger cars, but dozens of motorcyclists from different cities along the route. The information about the start has appeared on the website of the famous motor-traveler Sinus. They met at the entrance to large and small towns, invited them to their own place, fed, and, with supplies, escorted them off. And the stroller was repaired. For example, at the entrance to Khabarovsk, the editor of the electrocuter was broken (so motorcyclists called the carriage of Kushina). The bikers put in order in the technique. None of the assistants, of course, picked up a penny from Alexander, including professional mechanics from the big cities to which the bikers drove the pram for repair and prevention. The next stages of the information were given details, say, " May 19. Casha left Novosibirsk. On the 130th km from the city, at the gas station, his "cart" got caught, did not stop, left. Sasha fell, the wound on the elbow 3x3 cm, deep, a little scratched on the face. The drivers got up, called an ambulance. I told Sasha to wear a bright vest, but it took her in the bag! " Omsk club "Legion 55": " Sasha was found on the road and was taken to a good hotel. Wet the table, there was no end to talk. The motorcyclists from Pavlodar were sitting with us, and they invited Alexander to Kazakhstan. The national playwright was given to his memory. Sasha is satisfied with his adventure, says: " I do not set records on the track, I travel around the country and I talk to Russian people and neighbors. " Against the barrier-free environment, traveling to the road, the traveler wanted to draw attention to the fact that people with disabilities are calling the "barrier environment". They are forced to live in a closed way, because the world around them is not adapted to them, and society neglects their need to move properly. Persons with disabilities suffer, and they are not to blame for their injuries and limitations. To facilitate their existence, it is not too much to learn, first of all, to understand what it is like to be a disabled person. On this topic Alexander Kashin wants to write and publish a book. In November 1998, a jeep managed by the Consul General of the United States in Vladivostok (now former) crashed into a taxi where 23-year-old Alexander Kashin was driving. The guy suffered a spinal injury, the consequences of which he was handcuffed to a wheelchair. The victim's claim to the perpetrator is still not satisfied. However, Kashin stated that he had no connection with his tragedy. We thank Cybi from the Africa Twin Motorcycle Owners ' Club for the photo.
