Biking around the World

Maricella Miranda, an intern with the Belleville News-Democat,wrote this article about two Thai cyclists who are traveling around the world. Here's a couple a summary of that story.

Charoen, 32, and Orawan Othong, 34, didn’t know when they got married three years ago they were going to spend the next four years bicycling around the world.

It just happened.

Now the couple is two years and 11 months into their journey. From their home in Bangkok, Thailand, they’ve bicycled 13,000 miles through 17 countries and four continents. This week, they traveled to Belleville, where they stayed with Kosit and Saiswat Prieb, a host family. MORE

Charoen and Orawan have a Web site describing their tour. You can see where they've been and where they plan to go, although you will find they were a bit off their originalplan when they stopped in Belleville.

Their trip is something every cyclist dreams of but few can achieve. Most of us have too many responsibilities -- or, in some cases, think they have too many responsibilities -- to take on such a journey. Good luck to them!
