The oldest person to circumnavigate the globe by bicycle (male) is Mark Herbst (Canada, b. 3 June 1958), who was 69 years 178 days old when the record was verified in Bangkok, Thailand, on 8 January 2025. Mark's journey was driven by a deeply personal, two-fold motivation: to show people, particularly seniors, what's possible when they challenge themselves physically and mentally at any age, and to honour the memory of his late wife Jackie, who passed away the previous year at just 55 , a loss that reinforced his belief that health and vitality are gifts on loan, meant to be used fully while we have them. Along the way, Mark also turned his ride into a force for good, raising over $67,000 for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, one of the top five cancer research facilities in the world, adding a meaningful cause to an already remarkable feat of endurance and determination.
