About this book

A tale of adventure and high spirits, this book is an account of three cyclists who travelled around the world and became the first cyclists to do so. Travelling 44,000 miles, at times 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 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. This is a must-read story of adventure and endurance.

User reviews

This is almost unbelieveable. Its not a "story but a depiction of a journey undertaken by youngmenin 1923". You've got to read it to appreciate the determination, the sacrifice and the humility of these men. Its a "must read".

I read the same book Gujarati written by Mahendra Desai and it is almost inexplicable, a journey described in words can also be very exciting. Also what these travellers did for MOTHER INDIA without any expectation really made me proud of my Indian Parsi heroes. It is sad that these days our people and politicians have no care about our heroes who encourage the younger generation for do something for MOTHER INDIA. If these heroes were American or European heroes then I am sure that each child would know their story! This is a necessary read for all Indians!
