Pedal Around the World for PEACE
In September 2000, two Iranian students started on a world tour with nothing but their ordinary bicycles to convey a message of peace and friendship of the Iranian people to every single human being they would come across in as many countries as possible. During their unique, physically challenging adventure, they chose to give up the safety and comfort of home to pedal through extreme heat and cold, sleeping in deserts and jungles with the ever-present danger of bandits and wild animals, hazardous road conditions, and access to clean drinking water and food in unfamiliar territories.
While carrying a sign on their bicycles that read AROUND THE WORLD FOR PEACE, Hasan Alizadeh and Amir Ahmadi wondered how far they could manage to pedal and how their message would be received?!
