    I don't think anybody can do it. It is not just about strength/stamina. One needs a personality that attracts people who would help him more than people who would harm him and also awareness of danger. He is an adventurer.

    Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation.
    Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan.

    if it were 'just' the enormous distance with all its different landscapes and their challenges then it might be an adventure worth taking on. unfortunately, the real dangers are in many of those 14 countries he crossed. corrupt officials at the borders or in between, swathes of lawless countrysides, drug cartels controlling the streets, robbers and trigger-happy people all around. the only parts I would have felt halfway comfortable with is Canada and Argentina (not sure if Argentina is actually safer than the US)
