Per tutti coloro che vogliono girare il mondo in bicicletta

The Circumnavigators Club is the only organization devoted to bringing together those men and women who have circumnavigated the globe. It was organized in 1902 when two Americans, Joe D. Morrison and James H. Birch, sailing across the Indian Ocean aboard the S.S. Barbarossa, discussed their good fortune to have gone around the world.
