Bicyclowning Around the World
Miles of Smiles Around the World?
He’s a Spanish-born lawyer, but you’d never know it from his big red nose. Alvaro Neal has chucked the legal world for his true passion: making people smile. He has traveled 50 thousand kilometers by bicycle into Pakistan, where he performs at a school for homeless children.
Álvaro Neil, the biciclown, was born in Oviedo (Asturias) on July 17, 1967…laughing; he cried only when he was slapped.
He studied Law and Clown. At first it may seem they are not compatible activities.
He sold his car and left his job at a Notary Office in Madrid to cycle the world and offer clown shows for free to the most humble. Thus, some people think he is crazy, others think he is an adventurer, and others say nothing and just jail him as he tells in his book “Miles of Smiles.”
He tickles the world with his bike spending his life, the life others cannot spend.
He does not think of the future, never forgets the past and lives the present, the only verbal useful tense.
