Brothers Colin and Ryan Pyle Used AIRHAWK Comfort Seating System to Comfortably Ride Through China During Their Middle Kingdom Ride

Belleville, IL (I-Newswire) December 8, 2010 - ROHO, Inc., manufacturer of AIRHAWK® Comfort Seating Systems and support surface products for consumer applications, is proud to announce that the AIRHAWK Comfort Seating System was used during the recent Middle Kingdom Ride by Canadian brothers Colin and Ryan Pyle to provide comfort during their 18,651 km ride in 65 days through China. The brothers ventured on their trip to showcase China as an area for motorcycle tourism.

While eating lunch in New York City’s Central Park in June 2009, the Pyle brothers, who are both motorcycle enthusiasts, decided to embark on the first motorcycle adventure of its kind through China. Ryan Pyle, 32, a freelance documentary photographer, originally from Canada, who had lived in China for the past ten years, and Colin Pyle, a former owner of a currency trading company in Toronto, completed their MKRide on October 17, 2010 in Shanghai. Their travels raised money for SEVA Foundation, dedicated to alleviating suffering caused by disease and poverty.

The brothers chose AIRHAWK Comfort Seating Systems for the MKRide because of AIRHAWK’s exclusive Shape Fitting Technology® that eliminates the painful pressure points by evenly distributing weight throughout the interconnected air cells of the cushion. AIRHAWK cushions also promote consistent blood flow, absorb shock and control vibration for longer, more comfortable rides. AIRHAWK seat cushions are fully customizable to each rider and are portable, to be easily stored in the rider’s saddlebag or backpack.

"For those long days on the bike the AIRHAWK Seat Cushion proved itself an essential product for any long endurance or adventure ride,” Ryan Pyle said. “The AIRHAWK Seat Cushion is an essential accessory for any rider keen on really getting out there and exploring the world, and Colin and I are glad we had them on our bikes on our circumnavigation of China."

The brothers are producing a documentary and a book featuring a collection of stories and experiences from the MKRide including overcoming food poisoning, altitude sickness, dangerous road conditions and difficulties with authorities. Both the film and book are expected to be out in the summer of 2011. More information including photos and a blog about their journey can be found at www.mkride.com.
