Noblesville resident Dave Schweikert has set a world record by riding his bicycle around the roundabout at East Main Street and River Road in Carmel for 24 consecutive hours, and for the longest distance anyone has ever ridden around a roundabout. The ride began at 7 p.m. Friday and concluded at 7 p.m. Saturday.
Schweikert said the ride will raise funds for World Bicycle Relief, an international nonprofit that distributes bicycles to aid in poverty relief. As of the start of his 24-hour ride, he had raised enough money for World Bicycle Relief to provide 300 bicycles. Bicycles in many third world countries may be a person’s only mode of transportation.
