Because these games are so spread out, the gold, silver, and bronze really go to the planes, trains, and automobiles, but bikes are also making *** run at the medal stand. In fact, we found some fascinating tourists who every 2 years cycle to the Summer and Winter Olympics. We were just creating content in the famed Duomo when we noticed 3 guys decked out in Croatian national team gear rolling in. We were cycling from Zagreb, Croatia. Over Cortina to Milan for the Olympics. This is *** kind of small hobby that we are doing. Marco Mitic is the team leader, and he’s being too humble. This isn’t *** small hobby, it’s *** grand adventure. We started in 2008 from Zagreb to Beijing. 2012 we went to London. bigger group, 2014, we went to Sochi for the Winter Olympic Games, then Paris, then Milano, so we are kind of big followers of Olympic sites, and that’s what we do for fun. That’s amazing. How long did it take you to get to Beijing? Beijing, 4 months, 121 days. Yeah, that was like 7000 miles or so. Unaffiliated with any official group or sponsor, Marco, Lain Gichesa, and Tomislav Barbich are just 3 old. Friends on *** unique bro trip. We are far, far, far from healthy living, you know, we are just mortals, you know, we are nothing close to athletes. We are regular dudes, we like to travel, we like to bike, you know, and we like to spend the time on the bicycles, that’s it. No, I’m not gonna go. I probably could, but I’m not. I don’t think, you know what, why not? Let’s take it for *** quick spin. And because we hit it off right away, they even let me take *** quick spin on one of their bikes.
