  • GREAT

    My little brother started two years ago to Sydney/Australia by bike. Indeed not for charities, only for himself. But he will be interested in your actions, I know him. I've transmitted him your great video clip. Maybe you can write him for future projects:

    jens_rueth@web.de

    To time he's in Dhaka/Bangladesh. Write him! He will be glad! (And his English is much better as mine :))

  • mad props

    that's a lot of dedication... i can respect that.... metacafe should have more videos from creative people like this.

    By Mr.Clear 1168242814
    • make sure to check out

      make sure to check out my friends video on here. he did a 10,000 mile bicycle tour too. i think that metacafe should have a charity section for videos. its a great fundrasier with the producer rewards. my friends video has the title "Spinning Southward" by melloajello his video is a better video then mine!

  • THE KING OF MOVIES

    Paul,
    What an inspiring journey! A lot of people in this world have great intentions to do things like this, but NEVER get them done. YOU DID IT! It takes something that a lot of us do not have to do what you did and you did it so unselfishly! What a wonderful man you must truly be. I would count it a blessing to know you as a friend as I am sure that all of your friends do! How proud your parents must be of you! But Paul, you probably already know this, It doesn't matter what others think of you, It is what you think of yourself! I would say that you Love yourself very much and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I Love You too! God has truly blessed you my friend. What a wonderful human being you are and keep up your journey's. IF you ever need any support at all, please let me know and I will send you what I can to help support your next journey. Leave your email on a post so we all can get it and get an address to send you some money!

  • X-treme Respect

    Inspirational !

    By John In California 1168231370
  • VERY nice

    this made me see that there is more in myself to find, altough the 100 million views and 100 million dollars is kinda impossible :s

    By Naardenhg 1168195484
    • its not impossible :)

      this is not the only place i put the video and think if i get on Oprah she could show the clip to 30 million people. if was to get featured in youtube and meta cafe that could bring millions too. if the star wars kid can get 900 million views then why not 100 million...look for solutions and you will get solutions...look for why it can't happen and you can be sure that it won't happen... sorry that i don't have time to edit this comment hope it makes sense. thanks for the comment.

  • you are the best.

    people always give away things they dont want or which is of no use to them and they think they did some thing great. real sacrifice comes when one gives away something they like the most. u gave ur time and energy for these kids. thats what makes u the best . wishing u all the best.

  • Not to be rude but

    Im not really sure why riding a bike around is raising money

    By innominate227 1169177611
    • Worthy of our respect

      Raising money through personal sacrifice and dedication is nothing new. It's an age old tradition carried on by many athletic events. Although you might not be more inclined to donate money in this type of situation, others are inspired by the lengths to which a select few (like Paul) are willing to go for a cause they believe in.

      A 10,000 mile bike ride is a way to give without spending a penny to raise money. Most fundraisers are able to give only a percent of the donations they receive because they carry an overhead or initial investment. Paul can donate 100%

      He has accomplished something very few people will be able to do, and we open their hearts (and wallets) in honor of his accomplishment and dedication to these children.

    • Why would that be rude if its not clear

      Why would that be rude if its not clear just ask. If you go to my site 8wishes.com and look at it might be come a become clear to you why riding a bike will raise money. I like doing fundraisers were I don't just through a party for a bunch of rich people. I have been to some fundraisers that cost a $250,000 and then they only raise 1 million. The cost of my project is almost nothing...plus my time. I don't have much time because I'm getting ready to leave for Sundance....I wish I could explain better... all the proceeds from my documentary solo ride will go to two charities...DARC AND LDA...but go to my site it should make more sense...8wishes.com

      Paul

      By soloride 1169179413
    • Well...

      Its just at least I am no more inclined to give money to a charity b/c someone is riding a bike around, or running a marathon or what ever they are doing. I don't understand why other people are
