Jamie Bianchini invited more than 1,000 strangers to ride on the world’s first open-invitation, intercultural expedition around the world.
His eight-year, 80-country journey is shared in his book “A Bicycle Built for Two-Billion.”
Jacksonville locals can meet him and hear about his journey around the U.S. Thursday evening.
After a series of ill-fated events in his life, he says he hatched a crazy plan: go for a ride around the world on a tandem bicycle by himself, inviting everyone he met to join him.
