KOLKATA: A group of six bikers from Kolkata, including an onco-surgeon, travelled all the way to Leh and Ladakh to spread the message of cancer prevention and awareness. They distributed leaflets among the people they met while riding through the mountains. The aim of the group — belonging to varied professional backgrounds — was to give something back to the people there.
With a common passion for riding, the team from Friends on Wheels — a unit of Bengal Moto Wheel — has been taking bike trips to various destinations on different occasions. This time, the team covered about 3,800km to spread the message. They packed their bikes and left Kolkata on June 17 to reach Delhi by train, and started their 15-day ride supported by the Medica Group.
