bikelisa: cyclehaul: There are a bunch of blogs about people adventuring across continents on bikes, but this one: Universewithme is interesting for a reason. It’s about a Korean girl who wants to be an astronomer biking across the whole world including each continent minus Antarctica. What brought the blog to my attention is that she passed by San Carlos in Sonora Mexico where my parent’s live and she recently had lunch with my mom. Incredibly courageous. It’s the kind of undertaking that you have to be young and naive to do, but you’re only young once. Her experience with arriving in Mexico seems to be of amazement that the citizens aren’t all violent drug lords and she’s gotten out of a lots of situations due to the kindness of strangers. Although setting out for a four year world bike tour seems a bit crazy she seems to have some notion of preparedness as she’s riding the touring cyclist’s bike of choice, a Surly Long Haul Trucker. A beautiful story and a great adventure! (PS - go Surly LHT!) -- source link
