Hello, I have been a passionate cyclist since 2005 and have done a lot of bicycle racing. I have been sharing this passion for cycling through coaching cyclists who wish to get fitter and also curating some beautiful cycling experiences called Gran Fondos across India with Sprocket Science India- which i have founded in 2018.

Testimonials

Sriram is very inspiring and a fun person to hang out with. I got myself a road bike around COVID and have joined Sprocket Science on more than 4 tours and also done their Himalayan Gran Fondo tour in 2024. Cycling through Malnad has been a great experience and i recommend every one try it . The riders are not too difficult if you are someone with some basic level of endurance and stamina, but you will enjoy it more if you train a bit before the event and also ride slowly taking the support of the aid station, hydration points during the ride.

I have ridden with Sprocket Science since 2021 and been coaching under Sriram as well for many years. He picks the best cycling routes that are enjoyable+ safe and the handpicked stays are always comfortable and adds to the overall cycling tour experience. The roving tech support and daily bicycle tune ups are extremely helpful and bring a peace of mind! Definitely recommend to try the Malnad Gran Fondo route!
