On April 22, 2002 Jamie and his friend Garryck set off on an around- the- world cycling adventure with a mission to reduce unjust fears and predjuices between our fellow humans.  We    rode the front seats of tandem bikes while leaving the rear seats open to invite total strangers to join the journey and create lasting friendships that crossed all language, cultural and religious barriers. For over eight years the journey took us through 81 countries and turned over 1,000 strangers into friends. We carried extra riding clothes, helmets and camping equipment ready to share with strangers that soon become friends once they made a few pedal strokes on the tandem and accepted the Worldwide Invitation to Ride.

Inviting strangers to share a slice of life and enjoy the cycling experience was our small gesture of peace, trust, acceptance, tolerance, and  unconditional love. If they needed some financial assistance we offered to pay their food, accommodation and bus ticket back to their home town for extended tandem adventures. Each day was a mystery--who we would ride with, where we would eat and sleep, and what we would learn about these exciting new cultures.

Our Vision is that by sharing the beautiful stories and images collected on the journey we can inspired the courage to connect in others around the world.

Live Big. Give Big : In the end, the core values taken away come down to these four words. It represents an intention for both balance and courage to simultaneously live our personal passions and  making contributions to our global community at the same time.  This philosophy organically led to exciting new grassroots projects while out pedaling the planet.
