Example, I just went to a Cake show (they suck btw) and there had to be at least 10 fixies parked outside.

In Ethiopia especially people were robbed and harassed quite a bit. Children threw stones at us and constantly tried to take things out of our bags etc. We had armed guards through Sudan and Egypt. Everywhere else was fantastic!
Anil, I think that you are wise to do this trip on a motorcycle. Cycling was insane, it will be way more enjoyable on something motorized.

That is definitely not the easy way to travel.

One thing I have been curious about, is whether or not there are dangerous places on the trip. Were any of the athletes robbed, harassed or attacked? It seems they would be an easy target cycling across the continent. Is the truck always nearby?
