Note: Your humble reviewer has cycled 24 countries and frequently has circumnavigating cyclists speak to his 500-member bicycle club in Tokyo, usually benefitting a charity. So why didn’t I like this around-the-world flick? Well, while dozens of people are doing this at any given time, these two self-aggrandizing guys, benefitting themselves, seem convinced of their own uniqueness. And though they boast of not using airplanes, they didn’t have a problem with the Trans-Siberian Railway or hitchhiking across Australia. Badly filmed home movie interesting only to family members or gullible Japanese distributors.
