    Your films continue to inspire and uplift me. In a world where negative stories, conflict and division are pushed as the norm, it’s so vital to see the best of humanity. And all at 15mph. You are a great ambassador for cycling but also for the power of kindness and mutual respect. If you ever come to the UK (GB Divide maybe), I’d love to ride with you. Adventure with a capital A!

    • @duzer

    Watched this recently and my mind was filled with a number of deep thoughts about you, about travel, about poverty, about gratitude, then this morning heading down Olde Stage with my spouse a little after 10am I had this feeling you were nearby… and as we crossed Broadway on Lee Hill I saw a guy ride the opposite direction with a bright orange and white helmet that looked like you - whether it was or wasn’t doesn’t matter, it made me smile.

    Awesome as ever. As I am watching this, it just dawned on me that not only is this a great bike trail and adventure but you have also captured whole heap of economic activities and time stamped it. Given the pace of change in Rawanda it would be great project to revisit every 5years to see how it changes.

I’m sure you’re making a particular impact with your language skills and upbeat attitude. Now that you own a home, I would imagine you’ll be welcoming some of these nice folks to come live you. I think there could be some great videos created from this experience. I look forward to seeing them!

    Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter, energy and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor. Why import fossil fuels when wind and solar energy can be produced locally and solar energy can power electric vehicles. We need solutions not just sympathy.
