Cycling was their preferred method of transportation because “bikes bring us closer to nature, local people, and the way they live,” said Vicky. Beginning in July 1998, Vicky and Pinky spent 922 days cycling through 32 nations, in all five continents. By the end of their epic journey in November 2001, they had experienced for themselves the vast beauty of Alaska, the bright lights of Europe, rural life in Turkey, and the breathtaking African wilderness.

骑自行车是她们喜欢的一种交通方式，因为“自行车让我们更接近自然、当地的老百姓以及他们的生活方式，” 林姬莹说。从1998年7月开始，林姬莹和江秋萍花了922天，骑自行车穿过五大洲的32个国家。2001年11月当她们结束史诗般旅程时，她们已亲身体验了阿拉斯加的浩瀚之美、欧洲的璀璨灯光、土耳其的乡村生活和让人叹为观止的非洲旷野。
