900 Mile Cycle Ride for Global Cooperation!

The Simultaneous Policy (SP) campaign, aimed at addressing global problems such as climate change, unfair trade, global poverty and unsustainability, has prompted carpenter, musician and cycling enthusiast, Adam Jacobs, to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats this summer, beginning during National Bike Week, in order to raise both funds for and awareness of the Simultaneous Policy.
“I have wanted to ride 'end-to-end' for years,” said Adam Jacobs of Cornwall. “I have always been an avid cyclist though whole years have elapsed during which I hardly rode a bicycle. I have not yet ridden as far as from Land's End to John O'Groats in such a short time and am planning to make the journey (nearly 1000 miles) in ten days. If I train adequately this should be ample.”
“As an Adopter of SP, riding for SP is for me an honour, enabling me to raise awareness and funds for the campaign”, said Jacobs. “SP has humanity’s best interests at heart and cuts through the abhorrent cloudiness of our current global political system by providing a practical political framework through which all peoples and their leaders can harness their latent power and create a truly democratic, sustainable and just world”.
SP is a range of global problem-solving policies which is being designed, not by political parties, but by thousands of citizens around the world who support SP, known as Adopters. To avoid the fear all governments have that the unilateral implementation of stringent environmental controls, for example, would see capital and jobs moving elsewhere, SP is to be implemented co-operatively and simultaneously, only when all or sufficient governments have signed up. In this way, supporting SP poses no-risk to any nation’s international competitiveness and is helping to build international and cross-party support while opening the way to far more robust measures being adopted than those presently envisaged under agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol.
Support for SP extends to the EU and Australian parliaments and progress is being made in many other countries. SP is also supported by the president of East Timor, Nobel prize winner Dr. José Ramos-Horta, and by many ecologists, activists and economists.

You are allowed more than one bike and a 250 pound off-the-shelf hybrid bike would be quicker (new bearings), give a better view (upright bars), keep you dry (mudguards) and keep you safe (stable, non racer design). Such a bike relates better to those you meet on the way - show them a bike that they could imagine riding and they might take up the sport.
