The dude who did this good deed is from Greece and called Athanasios Tsaklas. He could be a Pearl Jam fan (actually he can), but he is the frontman of the Greek band The Wigs (http://www.thewigsband.com/). Please ignore the Greek words and music and focus on the powerful and colourful pictures. And first and foremost admire what this Greek dude achieved all alone. :corn:

The closest I came to anything like that was riding from Boston to NYC and a couple rides from the hills of Raleigh NC to DC. ALL awesome trips but riding a foreign country is a whole other story. THanks for the post....I'm glad he made it back without any apparent major injuries.
Peace

First of all, you don't need to have a beard to do this. Secondly, he might wear a helmet during his journey. You just saw an abstract of the whole journey. But, I agree with you: Safety first. :thumbup: And last but not least, the English language is a universal language. It's inevitable to meet someone in a foreign country - whose native language isn't English - who knows English words such as Good morning etc. Even if you aren't lucky enough to meet somebody like the aforementioned guy, you can always communicate using the "body language". I mean gestures. Not to mention that you can also learn some new words during this experience.
The whole experience would be awesome for me.

I never saw it that way. I just wanted to encourage you more. But as I can see, you've already had some miles under your pedals. So...
It's ALL good thanks, but before that trip in a FOREIGN land starting with a route of the Tour De France. I must conquer the big lake here in Florida Lake Okeechobee 116 miles circumference.
