A 38,000 mile around the world without a single CO2 molecule emitted! It’s hard to believe but to raise £1m for charity , the 23-year-old a British cyclist is attempting a 38,000 mile trip around the world over three years — without creating any carbon emissions.

Of course, it is virtually impossible to do anything without creating carbon emissions of some sort, but Kevin’s aim is more about avoiding internal combustion than reducing his carbon footprint to zero. He will be cycling when on land and sailing when on the sea — no fuel needed, and no direct emissions.

“The only time I will be creating emissions will be when cooking. Everything else is battery powered and I’ll recharge all electrics with solar chargers”, he says.

For the trip Kevin will be using a 2008 Specialized Rockhopper with an Extrawheel trailer to carry his equipment.

Sure, it feels fantastic to traverse the vast stretches of the best roads in the world. But cycling a complicated road, one that twists and turns, or has downright congested traffic, or unforgiving terrain? They might give you a headache, but it sure feels good when you’ve conquered them.

Here is the  list of the world’s most complicated and dangerous roads I spotted on WAVE,  a website providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. OK it’s for car people, but we have one thing in common with them, we share these roads with them.

Some of these complicated mountain passes can be dangerous if not negotiated with utmost caution, while others are complicated sets of roads and bridges, erected to ensure a streamlined flow of traffic at busy junctions (best to be avoided by cyclists). Some of the roads metioned here are probably even off  limits to cyclists.

Amazingly enough on some of the pictures that illustrate this article you can spot cyclists! Yes, we  can go everywhere! Even beyond where cars can go, as we always can push, or even carry our bikes.
