Harish Baijal, the 50-year-old deputy commissioner of police at Nashik, and Purnapatre, an HR consultant, pedalled the last few yards of his journey from India Gate in New Delhi to the Gateway of India on Saturday.
Baijal began his bicycle journey with his friend Harshad Purnapatre on February 6. The idea, Baijal thought, would be a fitting tribute to the Indian police force which recently celebrated its 150th anniversary and would encourage more people to adopt cycling as a daily mode of transport.
