The Human Powered Trans-Atlantic Speed Record Expedition.

3000 miles across the Atlantic ocean by human power.

When Greg Kolodziejzyk set the 24 hour Human Powered Distance Record in his Critical Power human powered vehicle he showed the world something profound. Greg pedalled his special bicycle an amazing 1042 km in just one day, which is futher than most people have ever travelled by car in 24 hours.

Greg's pursuit of exploring the limits of human power inspires a refreshing 'do more with less' philosophy which he feels is desperately needed to confront a couple of serious issues we are facing as a nation - skyrocketing obesity rates and our fragile environment.

Currently, nearly 2 out of 3 North Americans are overweight or obese and this epidemic is costing Canadian tax payers nearly 5.8 billion dollars a year in health care. One of the major causes of the obesity epidemic is our sedentary lifestyle and our increasing reliance on the automobile. Canada burns 2.5 million barrels of oil per day, and in the process, we are damaging our environment beyond repair.

"I want to inspire people to get active. Not only is using your human power good for the environment, but most importantly, it's good for YOU!"

The fastest man on land now plans to turn his passion for human power to the sea in a challenge he calls "Pedal the Ocean". Greg will set out to accomplish what no person in history has ever done: to pedal 4500 km across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Barbados in a specially designed human powered boat that he calls "WiTHiN" - in less than 40 days.
