It’s one thing to travel around the world — it’s another to do it on a bike.

Last year, two Seattlites braved the prospect of flat tires and injuries on a 25,000 mile road trip to raise money for an orphanage in India, according to an article in the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

The brotherly duo originally planned the trip to 25 countries to last two years — which is now looking like three or four years. So far, they’ve pedaled more than half the distance.

Their original goal for pledges was $10,000 — a modest amount considering they’ve raised roughly $30,000 so far.

“Travel is an education, and I hope I’ll someday be able to say, like Melville, that a bicycle was my Yale and my Harvard,” one of the brothers said in an article.

Thanks for continuing to push forward!
