Like the journey of a young Indian named Saneed, who not only cycled more than 5,000 kilometres across India last year, but also climbed to the highest pass in the world reachable by a paved road \u2014 and on top of that, he did it all on a bike with no front wheel! Sounds crazy? I thought so too, so I decided to message him on Instagram. And guess what? Saneed wrote back!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saneed P. P., now 24 and hailing from Kannur, Kerala, has entered cycling legend as the first human to cross India performing what every mountain biker knows as a wheelie \u2014 that delicate dance between skill, control, and the constant threat of landing flat on your back. That\u2019s right. No front wheel. Just pure balance, grit, and a whole lot of madness.<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2020\/08\/21\/level-up-with-the-wheelie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a wheelie<\/a> is a test of balance and nerve: you pull up on the bars, shift your weight just far enough back to keep the front in the air \u2014 but not so far that you flip like a stranded beetle. Some master it in a day; others chase it for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBjWGgASdp3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBjWGgASdp3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by SANEED_STUNTS \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@saneed_dbz)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><strong>From Kerala to the clouds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>But to take the wheelie to the next level, you can go one step further \u2014 and take off the front wheel entirely. That\u2019s when things get real. Because once you lose balance and pitch forward, it\u2019s not a graceful recovery \u2014 it\u2019s fork meets tarmac, and you\u2019re flying over the bars. That\u2019s exactly how Saneed chose to ride from Kanyakumari, the southern tip of India, all the way to Umling La in Ladakh \u2014 the world\u2019s highest motorable pass at 5,799 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n<p>The expedition took more than eight months of preparation and four months to complete. Both moral and technical support came from his brothers, Savad and Sajad, who even divided Saneed\u2019s personal belongings between their backpacks to help him on his journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach morning, I started at six, covering around forty kilometres a day, battling fatigue, crosswinds, and pain in my neck and back,\u201d explains the young rider who makes his living by stunt performances and motivational rides while working on social projects that promote road safety and mental strength among youth.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Saneed even had to seek medical attention after a strong gust of wind knocked him to the ground. He received professional care from doctors at a military base in Hanle \u2014 a region known around the world for its high altitude and perfect conditions for stargazing. What began as an unfortunate accident had a happy ending: Saneed got to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights that symbolises the victory of light over darkness, together with the soldiers stationed there.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBjWGgASdp3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBjWGgASdp3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by SANEED_STUNTS \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@saneed_dbz)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><strong>When physical and mechanical challenges struck<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Apart from physical struggles, Saneed also experienced many technical issues. \u201cSince I was cycling without a front wheel, maintaining balance and control was tough \u2014 sometimes parts would loosen or get damaged due to rough terrain. But I always carried basic tools with me and fixed things on my own whenever possible. Each problem taught me something new and made me stronger,\u201d he wrote to me.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nights in a tent turned colder as he climbed into the Himalayas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The challenge wasn\u2019t just the climbing \u2014 it was also the climate. As Saneed made his way into the mountains, the temperatures kept dropping, and camping under the open sky became increasingly difficult. The coldest moments came along the Zojila Pass in Kashmir and in Drass, Ladakh \u2014 one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth. \u201cUntil then, I\u2019d been sleeping in my tent near petrol stations or roadside dhabas \u2014 anywhere with a toilet,\u201d he says. \u201cBut when the temperatures dropped, locals invited me into their homes. Wherever I went, people were kind and willing to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reaction that made him happiest was seeing people salute the national Indian flag Saneed carried throughout his ride. \u201cMany came forward just to shake hands or take a picture \u2014 that genuine support and love motivated me more than anything,\u201d the wheelie stuntman from Kerala shares with us.<\/p>\n<p>Among his highlights? Seeing the Taj Mahal on one wheel. Watching the Milky Way blaze above the Himalayas. And proving that sometimes the craziest rides carry the clearest messages.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What comes next<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Saneed admits that this journey completely changed his life. \u201cPersonally, it taught me patience, self-belief, and how powerful perseverance can be. Professionally, it opened doors \u2014 from media recognition to brand collaborations \u2014 and gave me a platform to share my story with others. It showed me that when you ride with passion and purpose, even impossible roads lead to beautiful places,\u201d says the cyclist, whose skills eventually led him to a stuntman role in several Mollywood movies (shot by the Malayalam film industry based in Kerala).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was magical,\u201d says Saneed, who still cherishes his love for one-wheeled cycling. \u201cRiding is a part of who I am,\u201d Saneed says while revealing his next big goal \u2013 a challenging ride from Kerala to Nepal, and no wonder that without a front wheel. Once again, Saneed believes that his efforts might inspire people to chase their dreams, no matter how crazy they sound. Sponsors interested?
