Human Powered Travel: Around the World by Bike and Kayak

September 9, 2008 at 1:30 PM | by Dan Gould | 1 Comment

Ever made some ridiculous promise like "I'm going to ride my bike to work from now on?" Probably didn't last long, right?

But there are a few crazy (awesome) people like Erden Eruc out there, who take it to the extreme. Eruc plans to bike and kayak his way across three oceans and all six continents. As a bonus, he'll ascend the highest mountain on each continent while he's there.

At this point, he's already cycled from Seattle to Alaska, climbed Mt. McKinley and returned to Seattle. After that little trip, he biked to San Francisco and paddled himself across the Pacific to Papua New Guinea.

Stay tuned to Eruc's website, which documents his Around'n'Over project, for the next step of his human powered journey. And see if you can't break out the bike one day this week.

    Well done!

    however, the last time I checked there were 7 continents, not 6.
