Raj Phanden, better known as Cycle Baba, has cycled about 130,000 kilometres across more than 100 countries, all in the name of sharing his message about eco-friendly living.
His project “Wheels for Green” saw him start in his hometown of Bhuna in India in 2016. Since then, the former doctor has presented more than 1,000 seminars and helped plant more than 100,000 trees worldwide, in addition to his cycling.
Sharing his travels on social media and YouTube, he is now one month and more than 2,000 kilometres into his journey across Australia, starting in Perth.
“It’s just symbolic, riding around the world for environmental awareness,” Dr Phanden said.
“The bicycle is the only [mode of transport] that is carbon-free; I’m not using any fuel or any other resources.”
