World Record

Adventures that set a world record.

Many years later, this question is still one of the most common questions about my journey around the world on a bicycle. Did you break a world record? The short answer is yes and no. In this article, I'll explain the rules for circumnavigating the globe according to Guinness World Records, and, more importantly, how we are all setting our own personal records every day.
I've done many things, but I don't hold any world records until now. I am the first person to ever cross state lines by riding a bicycle over a river!
Tim Moss is another pioneer of helping people find the adventures in everyday life; thus he calls them Everyday Adventures.
Another story that makes me jealous. The first human-powered, tricycle ride to the South Pole.
British explorer Jock Wishart and Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky have unveiled a remarkable mission to conquer what could be one of the world’s last great "firsts" -- the first rowing attempt to one of the world’s Poles.
At first Heinz Stucke, the man who is rumored to have done more bicycle touring than anyone in history, was just a rumor. Then I met someone who met someone who met Heinz, and then not too long ago I met someone who met Heinz, confirming that he is still going.
Ian Hibell is a bicycle tourer that makes me feel like I should take the training wheels off my bike. Ian traveled 10 times further than what I did, about the equivalent of 10 times around the equator over his 40-year travel career.
