Youll see him in corners of the website.
Tucked into reviews. Peeking out from stories.
Gliding through traffic. Waiting at a dhaba.
A robe flapping. A fixie humming. A pair of round glasses catching the light.
**His name is Shunya.**
---
Shunya isnt a reviewer.
He isnt a salesman.
He isnt even real — but hes very much alive.
Hes the spirit of Gearlama.
Curious. Quiet. Completely obsessed with the little things that make big rides better.
---
When we find gear that just works — not in a lab, but on bad roads, late nights, steep climbs —
youll probably see Shunya riding alongside it.
He doesnt overthink.
He doesnt scroll.
He rides. Listens. Waits.
Sometimes, all he leaves behind is one note:
> *“This one stays.”*
---
Youll find him where the journey meets simplicity.
Where form follows function.
Where a yellow fixie can outpace a city full of scooters, just by showing up with soul.
---
So no, Shunya isnt just a mascot.
Hes a reminder.
That even in a noisy world, theres still space for calm rides, good gear, and stories worth telling.
And this is where his story begins.
