Wow -- check out this video. This 40-year-old Brit, Jason Lewis, just finished a 13-year human-powered trip around the world. 13 years! Think what you were doing 13 years ago, and that's when this guy started!
He has a pedal-powered boat he used to cross the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the Indian Ocean (capsizing once the entire trip in the North Atlantic). Can you imagine the monotony of pedaling all the way across the Pacific? He hiked, kayaked, and mountain biked his way 46,000 miles. In the US, both legs were broken by a drunk driver while he was rollerblading, and in the interview, he says he was told one of his legs would have to be amputated, but he somehow made it out with both legs. In Egypt, he was put in jail, charged with spying after he crossed over from Sudan without permission.
