Hello! We are Ben Cook & George Cullen
aka The Hairy Handlebars
We are proudly raising funds for Movember by cycling from London to Tokyo in 2019. We left London in the spring of 2019, the trip will see us (and our Mos) ride over 6000 miles across the largest landmass on earth and pass through over 20 countries along the way. You can see where we currently are by tracking our tour.
The latest from us
Follow our adventure to Japan by watching our videos on our youtube channel.
The Aim
We aim to reach Japan by October, and hope to catch as much of the Rugby World Cup as possible upon arrival, as well as enjoying a well-earned beer or two!
Neither of us have experienced anything of this magnitude before, and while we can’t wait to start pedalling, we will be relying on your kind support and donations to keep us going! So please Donate!
Thanks for supporting us and more importantly, our cause.
