Our Mission:
To help create a more peaceful world for future generations through education, awareness and random acts of kindness .
What We Do:
Peace Pedalers is a "Worldwide Invitation to Ride".
That means YOU are invited! We are taking two-seat tandem bikes on an around-the-world adventure through over 82 countries. But we're doing it a bit differently--We ride on the front seats and leave the
rear seats open to invite people
we meet along the way to join the ride. We have extra riding clothes, helmets and camping equipment ready to share with strangers that soon become friends once they make a few pedal strokes on the tandem! And what an amazing journey it's been so far!
We invite total strangers we meet to share a slice of life and
enjoy the cycling experience with us as a
gesture of peace, trust, acceptance 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 the end, the results are new friendships and more cycling enthusiasts in the world.
Live Big. Give Big. Love Big.: The most powerful messages are sometimes the most simple. This expedition was founded on the values of these basic six words. It represents an intention for balance and courage to simultaneously live our personal passions, make contributions to our global community and love unconditionally. And we try to do them BIG--that is, the very best we can. This philosophy has led to exciting new grassroots projects. Check em out!
Our Vision: We have a vision that through
cultural understanding and by our sharing the beautiful truth about how caring, loving and friendly our world really is that we can reduce unnecessary fear to help foster
global collaboration and world peace. Read 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 also represents a core value of our expedition. The changes
we want to see are more people going after their real dreams, practicing random acts of kindness, unconditional love,
openness, acceptance, trust, sharing, play and doing their part to protect our planet for future generation. So that's what
Peace Pedalers BE.
It's every individual's responsibility to become a
catalyst for positive change and world peace. It all starts with YOU. Whether
you are at work, at home with the family, following
your passions; each moment
is an opportunity to send peaceful and loving intentions
& energy to the world, your family and your local
and global community. If you would like to start your own Live Big. Give Big. Love Big. project email us and we'll mentor you! It's not as hard as you might think!
In partnership with Panasonic, we 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 our trailer and rough cut videos here.
