| Somen Debnath cycling round the world lost his famous bicycle in Guinea Bissau |
Somen Debnath, an Indian
cycling round the world on a bicycle, has lost his famous bicycle, months
before his journey is to end.
Daily
Trust report continues:
In
a post on a Whatsapp group he created, Debnath said he lost his bicycle in
Guinea Bissau "on the way to Soa Domingo" on Thursday.
He
had taken a ride in the back of a customs official's van.
Minutes
into the ride, his bike was missing from the back of the van, he wrote.
"It
was evening I passed the Ingore towards San Domingo. Almost dark so I met Mr.
Carlos who is a custom chief officer and was going to San Domingo,"
Debnath said.
Carlos
had suggested a lift by car, and was to put up at a hotel in San Domingo.
Five
minutes into the drive, the men looked back and the bicycle was missing.
"Bicycle
was not in back! Other bags only left!" said Debnath.
They
moved through four villages till half past eight that night but could not find
the bike, said Debnath.
Both
men went on to San Domingo, stayed the night in a hotel and returned to search
the villages but found nothing.
Police
from Guinea Bissau's crime and customs departments are searching but have had
no results.
The
search has spawned the #AroundTheWorldBicycle hashtag in hopes of locating the
famous bicycle.
Debnath cycled through
Nigeria in December, part of his mission to raise awareness on HIV and health.
