To The South Pole By Bike

Posted by timothy on from the are-those-bugle-boy-jeans dept.

buzzdecafe writes "Doug Stroup is attempting to ride his bike to the South Pole. Follow his progress here: Iceaxe.tv or read the article about him on Wired, including a pic of the bike. He's pulling over 100 pounds of supplies on a sled behind the bike--as well as carrying his own waste. Why bike to the South Pole? Hell, why not? Riding a bike in subzero temperatures in constant danger of losing your life sure beats my job."

    Hey, what the hell, I can't post at +2 anymore. My karma is still excellent, and is around 48-50 (I never can hold on to a 50 karma very long).
