Jafar and Naseem Edrisi from Iran have set out on a tour of four continents on bycicles. They are planning to cover a distance of 20,000 km in two years. They are aiming to promote world peace, improve the international image of their homeland, and plant trees in every city they visit, thus constructing a "green line... to help the environment."
The Edrisis are financing the expedition with money they themselves saved up over the last two years.
Among the things they packed for the journey are a Qur'an, a Bible, and several books of Persian poetry (BBC).
We should have more of this in the world, eh? Ma sha' Allah.
