Greg Kolodziejzyk: Pedal The Ocean


In Dec. of 2009, Greg is planning on pedaling his human powered boat "WiTHiN" 3000 miles across the Atlantic ocean in less than 43 days setting a new world record for the fastest human powered Atlantic crossing. Pedal The Ocean explores the limits of what is possible with human power.
Our modern sedentary lifestyle is putting our kids at risk of becoming the first generation that will have a life expectancy shorter than that of their parents. Worldwide, between 10 and 15% of our children are obese and 60% of the general population is overweight.
He looks like having a better chance of success that our ill-fated plans to windsurf around the sun back in the last century. Maybe someone will get around to it before this one ends.
