Our Mission:

To use bikes as a vehicle to create more peace in our world through cultural awareness, exchange & education.

What We Do:

Peace Pedalers is a "Worldwide Invitation to Ride". That means YOU are invited! We are riding two-seat tandem bikes around the world through 85 countries. But here's the kicker--We ride on the front seats and leave the rear seats open to invite people we meet along the way to join the ride. And what an amazing journey it's been so far!

We invite total strangers to share a slice of life and experience the bonding magic of cycling with us as a gesture of peace, trust, acceptance, openness and unconditional love. If they need some financial assistance we usually offer to pay their food, accommodation and bus ticket back to their home town for extended tandem adventures. Each day is a mystery--who we will ride with, where we will eat and sleep, and what we will learn about these exciting new cultures.

In partnership with Panasonic, are documenting the expedition with professional video, audio and photography equipment to bring the cultures, friendships and magic of Peace Pedalers to millions around the world via various television series and films. See vision of production here

Our Vision: We have a vision that through cultural understanding we can reduce unnecessary fear to help foster global collaboration and world peace. Full Peace Pedalers Vision Statement Here.

Be the Change: "You must BE the change you want to see in the world"
--Mahatma Gandhi

This quotation is the core of our expedition. The changes we want to see are more random acts of kindness, love, openness, acceptance, trust, sharing, play and a willingness to learn from one another in the world. So that's what Peace Pedalers BE.

It's every individual's responsibility to become a catalyst for world peace. It all starts with YOU. Whether you are at work, at home with the family, following your passion or out riding around the world; each moment is an opportunity to send peaceful and loving intentions & energy to the world, your family and your local and global community.

Peace Pedalers is NOT a formal 501(c)(3) non-profit, but we are able to accept tax-deductible donations via our fiscal sponsor International Bicycle Fund. We use donations to fund grass roots relief projects we encounter on the expedition via the Peace Pedalers Relief Fund.

	5/12/08 CURRENT LOCATION: Lucerne, Switzerland: Had an unreal ride to the lovely town Swiss town of San Pietro di Stabio to see my sponsor Assos.

Check out Italy pics here, blog and route for latest plans ;) 02/12/08: Leaving Lasting Memories of Friendship After taking photos with our riders (thanks Panasonic for the cameras!) I am now carrying a portable photo printer to give a gift that last a lifetime and remind them of our time together. It's been a real hit! Check the photo :) 01/12/08: Peace Pedalers Trailer and Rough Cut Videos Done! After dozens of hours in front of the computer we finally finished a 4 minute trailer and two 22-minute rough cuts of Niger and Mali in West Africa. Check them out here! 8/26/07: New "Best of 30 Countries" photo album now ugh about 30 countries? I sorted through 1,000's to bring you the best of the best! Check it out! 06/18/07 Educating Africa, One Rider at a Time! We have started a small "Peace Pedalers Scholarship Program" and we are sending our first guest rider, Joseph Kamau of Kenya, back to school after his father lost his job and failed to pay school fees. Contact us if you want to help fund this small project and give the gift of education to those in need. 03/27/07 We Saved Two Child's Lives!! I was out riding to Chipata in Eastern Zambia and stopped at a medical clinic where a friend was volunteering. Two babies were burning up with fevers from Malaria the clinic was out of medication. They were given Coartem from my bike pannier and there is no better feeling than saving a life! 02/22/07 Sustainable Revenue to Musicians and Their Communities! I've been working with musicians and recording live performances for them to provide them with a CD to sell at gigs and other channels. They have to give 10% to local charities so it's a triple win. To provide an avenue for artists to sell the recordings online I will soon be launching a small record label. Check some sample tunes here. Stay tuned and email me if you have any feedback or contacts 8/24/06, Les Stroud Joins as Executive Producer for Filming Effort: Survivorman producer and host Les will be guiding the filming of the rest of the expedition to create several seasons of educational television and a documentary film.
