Our Mission:
To do our part to create more peace
in our world through cultural education, exchange
& 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 about 86 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 and new friends 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.
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.
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 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 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 has hard as you might think!
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
