You’ll 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 isn’t a reviewer.
He isn’t a salesman.
He isn’t even real — but he’s very much alive.
He’s 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 —
you’ll probably see Shunya riding alongside it.
He doesn’t overthink.
He doesn’t scroll.
He rides. Listens. Waits.
Sometimes, all he leaves behind is one note:
“This one stays.”
You’ll 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 isn’t just a mascot.
He’s a reminder.
That even in a noisy world, there’s still space for calm rides, good gear, and stories worth telling.
And this is where his story begins.
