Description
Travelling 44,000 miles, at time in 140'F heat - for days without food, at times without water, at times in pirate-infested territories, at times in swamp-lands, they cycled through dense jungles and notched up many 'firsts' while pedalling round the globe. They were the first to cycle the world - six young boys from Bombay Weightlifting Club, who started this journey of adventure on 15 October 1923. Crossing the deserts of Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Sinai, they became the first globetrotters to cover the most arduous journey of their lives in four years and five months. A must-read story of adventure and endurance.
Adi B. Hakim, Jal P. Bapasola and Rustom B. Bhumgara were part of the team of six young men who started their journey around the world from Bombay in October 1923.
