Cycling From China To Europe - Fueled By Rice

Advocating Tolerance & Cooperation Worldwide By Bike
by Larry Lagarde

If you thought bicycling across the USA was no big deal, how about biking from China to Europe via India? That's what 5 recent college grads from Minnesota started doing in September.

Fueled By RiceWhy?
People always ask why long distance cyclists take on such challenges. According to the mission statement on their website (FueledByRice.com), this group of adventurers are cycling to become wiser (by interacting with peoples from different cultures), to increase multi-cultural understanding and to advocate low impact living.

Currently, these American cyclists are in China's Guangxi Province waiting for their visas to become valid so they can bicycle through Vietnam.
