What do u think about bike riding around the world?  

 I think it could be a great experience but a bit hard :)

Many people every year many people decide to enjoy other groups of people to take a trip around the world with their bicycle.

There are some websides as http://www.worldbiking.info/wordpress/ in which everyone can choose which kind of tour they want to do with their bikes.

Another interesting webside is http://www.worldwidebikeride.com/, in which people can choose to share with everyone their trip  and experiences during their bicycle trip around the world.

I invite you to have a look on http://www.worldwidebikeride.com/ and to read Matt story, which is very interesting and crazy :)

Do you know who is the first person riding around the world?

 Thomas Stevens (born 24 December 1854, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England, died London, 24 January 1935, aged 80) was the first person to circle the globe by bicycle. He rode a large-wheeled Ordinary, also known as a penny-farthing, from April 1884 to December 1886^. He later searched for Henry Morton Stanley in Africa, investigated the claims of Indian ascetics and became manager of the Garrick Theatre in London.
