Jerry Seinfeld, Unnecessary Hyperlinks, and Other Pressing Global Issues

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to pedal the 5,246 miles from Fidalgo Island, Washington to Machu Picchu, Peru, one invariably begs the simplest and most common question of all: Why?

Well...

We definitely do not know. Of course we sort of know, but we don't know know. However, for some of you who are dying to hear some kind of answer, cogent or not, I have taken the liberty to construct a reasoning tool to help you (and perhaps ourselves) learn a little bit about our aims. It is not a story, or a manifesto. It's just a couple of lists.

REASONS TO BIKE TO PERU:

1. To make better friends with the sun.
   
2. Bikes are more satisfyingly labor-intensive than motorcycles.
3. Bikes are safer than motorcycles.
4. Let's face it: we can't afford motorcycles.
   
5. Aprender español.
6. It will be the biggest and most bad-ass thing we've ever done, ever.

REASONS WHY, IF WE WEREN'T SO SET ON THIS, WE MIGHT WANT TO STAY HOME:

1. Everyone we like or love, we will miss you.
2. The number 5,246 is really, really large.
3. School.
4. Just kidding.
5. We have seven seasons of Seinfeld left to watch from Tyler's box set.
   

As you can no doubt see for yourselves, this categorically proves the logic behind our reasoning, using proven mathematical techniques. The first list has six items, while the second weighs in with only five.

By the way, we leave November 2nd, SHARP. K bye.
