Wheeling Jerseys
Here you can see the Jersey’s we will print for the trip. The front of the shirt has the name of each country and territory we will be visiting in its native language. The size of each country’s name roughly designates how much time we will be spending there.
The back of the jersey features our namesake and the silhouette of a bishop. Why a bishop, you ask? According to wheeling terminology, one who rides in front of the pack is referred to as “bishop.” The bishop determines where the turns will be and sets the pace of the wheel. He who rides in the back of the pack is known as anti-bishop.

Mission Statement
In order to better focus our efforts, we present to you now, the asiawheeling mission statement:
|
-Mission Statement-
We solemnly swear to to enter asia with as few preconceptions, and as open a mind as possible, to shirk from the opportunity for new experience only when it endangers the body or mind, and to report our findings in the most diligent and evocative manner we can muster.This blog embodies a mission to study the delicate coexistence of technology, economy, and ecology which drives the evolution of humanity in this most important part of the planet. At the heart of an evolving society lies it’s perceptions of productivity. What does it mean to live a productive life? How do people go about maximizing their goals? On what level are their pursuits organized? We seek not just to answer such questions, but to experience them.

Asiawheeling Itinerary
We’ve been carefully planning and researching the travel itinerary. We’ve nailed down a pretty solid itinerary; you can take a look for yourself here. But we are always on the lookout for hidden gems and making small revisions.
One thing is for sure though, at each waypoint, we will rent bicycles.
Between waypoints, we will ride on trains, rent cars, and take ships. If you have any suggestions on where we should go or what we should do at any of these destinations, please let us know in the comments.

Amid the songs of foreign lands, a speck of grit in foreign sands.
Iowa, my home.
