In this inspiring UltraCycling Magazine interview, we meet Ling Ky of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—a man who redefined the meaning of retirement. At age 59, Ling traded boardrooms for bike saddles, launching into the world of ultra-distance cycling with a quiet determination that’s taken him across continents. Now 65, he’s conquered legendary events like the 2022 London-Edinburgh-London, the grueling Trans-Am, the epic Perth-to-Sydney ride, and the rugged Tour Divide.
As this episode airs, Ling is embarking on his second London-Edinburgh-London, proving that passion knows no age limit. With stories of resilience, cultural encounters, and the meditative rhythm of long-distance rides, Ling shares how cycling became not just a sport, but a soulful second act.
