Hey, when I was younger I rode a bicycle damn near everywhere I went. Started cycling back in '86 and still going strong at 54. People in my various commands thought that I was totally nuts for not having a car. They thought I was even crazier when I cycled from one duty station to another.
Rode from Memphis TN to Jacksonville FL in 7 days.
Rode from Jacksonville FL to Newport RI in 12 days.
Rode from Newport RI to Norfolk VA in 5 days.
And, my average daily distance was anywhere from 50 to 100 miles/day, depending on whether or not it was an off day.
I don't fault these people for trying to do something noteworthy, but I do think that maybe they could have picked a better route.
I trekked all over France and England with no resources, though not by bike. Lotta walking. Overall it was the most enriching experience I've ever had.
Why not South Africa or India or Indonesia??? These 'progressive' racists always pick white countries with histories of Christianity to run around playing 'Hipster Road Doggz' in, never embracing 'Diversity' in their travels. Their anti-Trumpster Hollywood Hystericals also nearly all picked the same demographic countries they were all going to move to when they left America if Trump won, like New Zealand or Europe, as well. Then they whine about DA Evul Raycss whatevers, which is anybody who laughs that their silly hypocritical .asses. At least the idiots in the OP story actually went somewhere 'diverse', stupid as it was they at least had more honesty than these phonies here.
Sorry, I'm not in your race-obsessed camp and "white countries" never even occurred to me. I went to France out of a combination of opportunities. It had far more to do with the annual wine harvest --- which is what I went there for ---- than anything about "wait, what color are these people?" I had no idea where that road would lead, and that was the whole point. Had "South Africa or Indonesia" been on the opportunity table then I would have gone there but they don't hold a particular interest. Brazil might have been much more enticing.
This may come as stunning news but that's MY choice, not yours.
You slimeflakes who bunk up in your little bubbles obsessing on what color people are and never venture out into the world because you're too skeered and too wimpy just have my pity. Because you'll never learn anything and never crawl out of that self-imposed hole.
