- In 2022 I met an incredible Belgian man in Baja California, who was breaking a world record by handbiking from Alaska to Mexico. We kept in touch and he asked if I would like to support him on his next adventure in India. He had already broken the record for the longest ever handbike. Now he wanted to break the record for the highest ever handbike ride! I said I'd love to help him and we got planning!
In May 2024 we finally set off and although I could only help for 3 weeks, I got stuck in! Part 1 shows us arrive into Mumbai, get the bikes ready and travel by train up to the startling in Khambhat, Gujarat. Here we prepare ourselves for the road ahead as the journey begins.
We deal with intense heat, adjust to Indian culture and of course try lots of local cuisine!

Finally, if you want to watch more of me check out my adventure series where I cycle from Alaska to Argentina! It's not yet finished though with more videos coming soon!

i have one question, how did you ride bicycle up over the flyoversin your path ?
That looks like an adventure! Have you used a hand bike? If so what was it like?
When I was in Mexico I borrowed Michiels for a quick ride. On the flats it seemed enjoyable but picking up speed on downhill pretty scary! Mainly due to turning being quite difficult. However, uphill is absolute hell. Your arms are just not meant for that kind of endurance! After a minute of uphill riding mine were on fire!
Did you get a puncture tho?
