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 taking two-seat
tandem bikes on an around-the-world adventure through about 85 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. 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.
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.
