I started biking around Seoul as a way to get off the sardine express and onto the river for some "fresh" air and exercise. In 2009 three friends of mine and I cycled from Beijing to London for KIVA, a micro-loan charity. This May three new friends and I will be biking from Istanbul to somewhere around Italy for the charity Love North Korean Children, which builds bakeries in North Korea to help feed the need there.
