This Kerala globe-trotter is set to embark on a two-year cycle odyssey across Europe from Paris Olympics venue

Had Arun Thadhaagath stuck to his job, he would have by now become a junior deputy tahsildar or, the very least, a village officer. This time, he plans to pedal his way across Europe starting from the venue of Paris Olympics on July 26, 2024. The European Union has approved his visa for two years with the condition that he must exit every three months and re-enter after three months. Mr. Thadhaagath will next enter Copenhagen in Denmark and cycle his way around Portugal and Spain in the following three months. He then plans to take a short ferry from Spain to Morocco to spend the next three months cycling across the North African countries such Tunisia and Egypt.
