Paul Everitt

Cycle Adventurer

Profile: Paul Everitt, 28, from Grimsby is a plumber by trade.

On May 1st 2010 he left his home town of Grimsby, England on his 4 wheeled, 4 seater Bikecar on a mission to Turkey. Sadly the trip ended in Italy after passing through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany and right through the heart of the Swiss Alps.

A year later the Bikecar had a face lift and Paul was ready for another adventure to a new continent.

On April 29th 2011 with the safe arrival of the Bikecar in the port of Halifax, NS Canada he began this new journey.

Slowly after 5 months and 3 days on the roads in Canada, Paul had covered over 7000km with the aid of 20+ people (both friends and complete strangers) who had helped him cycle through both gentle and harsh terrain.

On 2nd October 2011 Paul made it to Mile "0" in Victoria BC, Canada and decided to extend the trip and keep on pedalling south into America along the west coast and finally end somewhere in Mexico.

Paul’s adventure is not just about the travel and experience its also about raising awareness and funds for injured troops from the British, Canadian and American armed forces who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Testimonial: “I'm also trying to promote travelling in a unique way and making your own dreams come true, anything is possible if you put your heart into it. That's something I have come to learn while on the road.  Since day one an Original Buff has not left my head – I don’t know what I would have done without it!”
