"In 2002, at the ages of 62 and 48, Pat and Catherine Patterson decided to leave it all behind. They sold their real-estate business and their cars, gave their furniture to their children, and put their home up for rent. Strapping their remaining possessions to two bicycles, the couple set off to bike around the world. 57 countries, four continents and almost four years later, the Pattersons look back on their journey as something no less than life-changing."

Very adventurous..indeed. However, its a pity thier world ends in russia in the east and africa in the south...There was a story long ago about a group of bikers from US (sometime in 1980s) who toured much more than this couple on thier bikes. While in India, I also read about some Indians who toured the northern hemisphere on bike..
Quite an adventure though...
