The revolutionary cycle











"In November 2008, Simon Evans and Fearghal O'Nuallain began the first Irish circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. Their unsupported expedition will cover over 30,000km, passing through 30 countries and some of the highest, lowest, driest, coldest, warmest and loneliest places on earth. In doing so, they will be promoting the positive contribution that cycling can make to mental health by encouraging people to get on their bikes, and by raising funds for Aware"

The landmark stops they made include The Iguazu Falls, Argentina, Petra, Jordan, The Gobi Desert, Mongolia, Machu Picchu, Peru, Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, Great Wall of China, Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt, Colosseum, Italy, Eiffel Tower, France, the Galapagos Islands and Lake Baikal. They made it home on the 15th of May with beards. Well Done guys!
