Não sei como é que isto me veio parar às mãos, mas é no mínimo hilariante, todas as escutas das quais o Sócras foi ilibado. O Era o que faltava! teve acesso a este espectáculo, deixando ao vosso critério a avaliação de.. toda a verdade… Faço notar que este ficheiro é “semi-oficial” (inclusive, tem o selo do tribunal de Aveiro).

(CNN) -- In 2002, at the ages of 62 and 48, Pat and Catherine Patterson decided to leave it all behind. They sold their real estate business and their cars, gave their furniture to their children, and put their home up for rent. Strapping their remaining possessions to two bicycles, the couple set off to bike around the world.

I have been hearing about Heinz Stücke for more than 10 years.  While I was on my my three-year bike tour, people I met would tell my about Heinz and that I should meet him.  Well, after ten years of looking, I finally found Heinz in Paris on the sidewalk selling his brochures that I had heard so much about.  Also with him was his long-time girlfriend Zoya, who he afectionately calls "Zoya, the destroya" for her tendency to sidetrack Heinz from his mission in life to seek out new places to travel to on his trusty three-speed bike that he has used since the 1960's.  Needless to say, he didn't know me from Adam, but we quickly got to know each other from our common interest in both international cycling and exotic women (neither of whom, coincidently, have much interest in cycling).  I purchased his postcards and brochure and he gave me permission to post his story on my site.  If you enjoy it and would like to contribute to his further journeys by buying a brochure or some postcards, you can write to him at

He may be the world's most traveled man. Heinz Stucke has circled the globe ten times or more, the hard way, by bicycle. He's been shot at, robbed, arrested, and celebrated, embraced and admired in every corner of the planet. But Stucke rarely sticks around for the accolades. He's a timeless wanderer. The Bikeman just keeps rolling.
