Delić will visit Kirgizstan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, China and Japan in the end, thus competing his project “On a bike through meridians and parallels”, which he launched two years ago by travelling from Sarajevo to Samarkand.
While saying goodbye to his friends and family, Delić said that a very challenging journey is ahead of him, but that he is ready for new adventures.
“Several months of preparations are behind, both physical and technical. All administrational and technical obstacles are overcome, now the interesting part of the journey comes. I am very excited, but also determined to achieve my goal and I am looking forward to another unique life experience,” Delić said ant highlighted that this journey could not be feasible without help from his friends.
With this project and the campaign “The Rolling Drifter – Cycling around the Globe”, Delić wants to draw attention of the public to the problem of global warming, he wants to promote the fight for a world without borders and cycling as a form of recreation and an ecologically acceptable means of transportation.
