Father / son duo – 29,000 km bike ride

Here’s something incredible to kickstart your day.  

A father‑and‑son duo from the U.K. just wrapped up a 14‑month, 29‑thousand‑km bike ride around the world — and came home with three world records.

George Kohler and his 23‑year‑old son Josh left their home near Norwich in March 2025… and didn’t stop until they’d crossed Asia, Australia, South America, and Europe. When they finally rolled back up to their front door, Guinness handed them certificates for the fastest circumnavigation, the longest bicycle journey, and the most countries visited by a father and son.

Josh says the magic wasn’t the miles — it was the moments. Like a shepherd in remote Turkey waving them over and sharing breakfast over a campfire, even though they didn’t speak the same language.

After 400 days together, they say the final stretch home was emotional… with friends and family cheering them on.
