KOCHI: A Kerala cyclist is on an unusual mission to spread the message of staying away from drugs — riding thousands of kilometres on a bicycle without a front wheel.According to news agency ANI, Saneed, a professional bike stunt performer from Kerala, is travelling towards Nepal and aims to reach Everest Base Camp as part of his ‘Say No to Drugs’ campaign.He said he has already covered more than 7,000 km during his current journey.“I completed a ride from Kerala to Kashmir without a front wheel, and now I am going from Kerala to Everest Base Camp,” Saneed said.A civil engineering and interior designing graduate, Saneed said he has been involved in bike stunts for around 12 years. He also trains the Indian Army for parade stunts, he said.According to Saneed, he covers around 50 to 60 km every day on average, while his longest single-day ride has been 150 km. The distance he can cover depends largely on road conditions and the climate.“High winds in this region make balancing especially challenging,” he said, adding that riding without a front wheel is significantly more difficult than normal cycling.Despite the challenges, Saneed said his years of experience have helped him maintain his balance during the journey.‘You don’t need drugs to achieve something different’Saneed said his journey is aimed at spreading an anti-drug message across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and other parts of India.“I want to spread the message to say no to drugs in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and all across India, to show people that you don’t need drugs to achieve something different — do what makes you happy and don’t ruin your life,” he said.He hopes his unusual journey will encourage people, particularly youngsters, to pursue their interests and make healthier choices.“If my journey inspires even one person to change their mindset, that will be my true world record,” Saneed said.
