With four more years of cycling ahead of them, three India-born Parsees, R. D. Shroff, 29, K. J. Kharas, 33, and R. D. Ghandi, 30, arrived in Shanghai on Monday after having travelled in four continents and after having covered no less than 40,000 miles on bicycles. They have travelled in nearly every country in Europe, Africa and the Americas and have just traversed Japan. All three are graduates from the University of Bombay and intend to leave for Hongkong and then Australia the Malay States, and the Dutch East Indies, prior to returning to India where they intend to publish a book.
They have earned the money necessary for their trip by giving lectures in various countries and claim to be the first cyclists to have crossed Africa from Cairo to Cape Town a trip which took them no less than eighteen months.
