A Sharjah resident cycled 13km to Dubai for the Car Free Day celebrations before getting on his bike again for another 42km to Academic City.
Speaking at the event held near Dubai Municipality Deira branch, Lebanese Mohammed Al Labban said he aims to cycle from Abu Dhabi to the same spot next year.
"My manager has challenged me, and I said I will do it!" said the 32-year-old.
It will not be the first extraordinary stunt Al Labban will be doing. For Car Free Day in 2015, he walked from Sharjah to Deira Dubai Municipality for 5.5 hours, starting from 2.30am and reaching 8am.
This year, he cycled from his home in King Faisal Street at 6.45am to the municipality, arriving at 8.10am.
