Nepali cyclist from the eastern part of Nepal Mr. Biresh Dahal a permanent Resident Of Udayapur,Triyuga has undertaken an unusual mission in the name of world peace. Over the past decade, Biresh Dahal has ridden a bike backwards across three continents to spread his message of non-violence. Biresh is travelling with two companions, who unlike him, prefer to ride forwards. In London on the British leg of his journey.
We started cycling around the world to promote Nepal around the World and to encourage people to turn way from violence, we hope people will understand the message seeing riding back, I first started cycling in the year 2000, at that time Nepal was in the middle of Mouist conflict, he said about 13000 people killed during the period, we carried the pain with us, we slept in a lot of unusual places in our journey, we stay in Masjit, Churches and Temple. And In some places ladies used to invite us to sleep with them. Some even ask us for money, in the same way one women said should like to have child as courage’s as like me.
Sometime differences of opinion over which route to take, but we solve the problem asking peoples about route. I some countries like Singapore, we have not been allowed to cycle backwards, but as soon as the police were out of site I explain about my mission and in Saudi Arabia three police van surround us, People do not ride bike there but they ride motor bike there, The Nepalese embassy helped us there and we continue our journey. While riding backward I had problem in my back and also it affected my arms and eyes.
I want to win the world and we want to have our name in the Guinness world record for a first person cycling backward. Now here we are in London and I have already visited 57 countries of the world, and we are happy with our struggle.
