KOCHI: Riding a bicycle could sound simple, but cycling almost 7,400 km for a noble cause is not as easy. Undeterred, Nihad Mohammed Basheer, a 33-year-old from Kollam took it upon himself to ride the length and breadth of the country for a special cause—promoting awareness on law education.
Nihad set-off from Mangaluru on June 23 and reached Ernakulam on December 2. His marathon cycling expedition concluded on December 5 after he reached his hometown at Kulathupuzha in Kollam district.
He works together with an NGO named IDIA with the idea of advancing legal education among society’s lower income classes who are unaware of the opportunities in the field of law. Every day, Nihad would travel 120-130 km. This continued for the past five months.
