Meet 15 year old Ethan Johnson from Brisbane, Australia. Like any normal day, he left home with his bike on his way to school on March 30th. 10 days and 600 miles later he shows up in Sydney suburbs, with no intention of stopping. Yes, he has a little bit wrong with him, some mild form of aspergers. But I love that he leaves home, turns off his cell, hits up every Mickey D's he can find and sleeps at truck stops during his massive solo exploration of the Australian countryside. Apparently he covered 100 miles a day for 6 days straight on his bike and then spent 4 days boppin around the Sydney train network spending his downtime watching dvds of train journeys on his portable player. (what???)I also love the action shot above, particularly his biking outfit with speed flames on the side. No shit! He rode 100 miles per day!!! He's like an out-of-it energizer bunny who was fueled only by the desire to be released from his mom's deathgrip headlock.
