Farewell China! Hello South East Asia! | |||
An update from SuperCylingMan on his "7 Continents World Cycle"
He is pedalling round the planet for many reasons, including: to raise £100,000 for charity, to educate children about the world and to encourage children and adults to be more active and get on their bikes. Back in 2015 Supercycling man has told this website: "On May 31st I set off from London on a 5-year long, 100,000km bike ride that will take me across every continent on the planet, even Antarctica! Have I mentioned that I’m also doing the whole thing dressed up in a slightly ridiculous superhero costume and given myself the name “SuperCyclingMan”?" “SuperCyclingMan” is raising money for charity and visiting schools across the globe. He hopes to inspire as many children as he can by talking about how “WE CAN ALL BE HEROES”. Here is Will's latest update: By the time you read this, I should have got through Chinese border control (hopefully!) and crossed over into country number 22 on my cycle around the world - Laos! It’s taken me a whopping 5 months to cycle across China. That’s longer than it took me to cycle across the entire continent of Europe. Turns out China is a pretty big country! Who knew?! ![]() I am taking with me some great memories of camping in the desert with some Danish cyclists that I met amongst huge wind turbines and underneath the stars. ![]() I saw and walked along the Great Wall of China for the first time... then had a had a ridiculous amount of fun riding for a month with the unicyclist Ed Pratt...
One family even let me stay and enjoy Chinese New Year with them...
