In December 2012, when we arrive at the Rio Earth Summit after some thirty months of cycling, just how will we - and others - see Bike the Earth then? As an 'expedition'…
 

Or as a living breathing example of how we trult can 'pull together' globally and locally? It's an idea at the heart or our four aims
 

From Taupo to Tokyo to Totnes to Rio, we have our route clearly mapped out, all twelve legs of it. Yet - for all the planning - it's set to be a highly spontaneous and colourful collaberation between a team of cyclists, progressive partners, and the communities and individuals we encounter.
 

While the widely acclaimed Awaken the Dreamer symposium is a vital common thread in this expedition, as is the FourYearsGo campaign, we will also dovetail with festivals, events and countless related initiatives and partners en route.
 

We have good reasons to be confident in what lies ahead, and - obvious as it may be - you may like to know just why we chose to bike the earth.
 

First things first. To ensure we get off to a flying start in July, we invite you now to get involved or to make a donation hit the “Donate” button below. Thank you!
