Nepalese man cycles around the world spreading peace!!! Next stop? Everest...

A Nepalese cyclist who has pedalled around 150 countries since 1998 to promote world peace has announced the next stage of his odyssey.

"I plan to climb Everest in 2010 with flags of all the countries I have visited," Pushkar Shah said while on a brief break from his travels in Nepal.

"This mission is not about material gain or international fame. It's simply about spreading the message of peace."

Mr Shah has cycled to Africa, America and Europe to spread his message.

He hopes that by the time he commences his climb of Everest next year he will have ridden 390,000km (242,334 miles) around the world. More...
