Benjamin O’Neill lives in Australia. After leaving the pearling industry in 2011, he travelled extensively, became an aeroplane pilot, and sailed around the world. In 2017, Ben found himself concerned about our throw-away society, so he started a bicycle recycling business. The people he met through this new endeavour inspired him to cycle around Australia giving away copies of his book to disadvantaged and at-risk youth, in the hope that he can help change someone’s life for the better.
