We have always seen people went travelling all around Asia, Europe, or even around the World with car, bus, flight. But we rarely heard people who went travelling by riding a bicycle. How can you imagine that they are cycling thousands of kilometers with some bags that they need to bring. A cyclist, Sam Swain, 22 from England has traveled 10,000 miles across Europe and Asia with his beloved bicycle. He took his hybrid touring bike all the way from Ireland to Japan and then through Turkey and Iran before cycling it to India and Thailand. (Reilly, J. June 12, 2012). He successfully fulfill his childhood dream after completed the ten-month journey together with his father.

They travelled on the motorcycle for about 2 years and make their return on 14 May 1997. Through their bike that they called 'Baby Quek', they successfully raise funds for children's charities through Singapore Community Chest.
