Jeff Lea interviews Erden Eruc at KMOV

A former software engineer is biking his way around the globe and he's rowing across the oceans.

Erden Eruc has traveled nearly 2000 miles on his bike from Seattle to St. Louis and eventually he's going to ride this bike around the world.

He’s still crossing the U.S. and he's made it to St. Louis.

Around-n-Over is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington. Using the Six Summits Project as a launchpad, this non-profit will produce news and educational content about the journey, and share its know-how for future human powered, self propelled challenges.
