This Cyclist Just Became the Fastest Woman To Ever Cycle Around the World
38-year-old Scottish cyclist Jenny Graham shattered Paola Gianotti’s previous world record of 144 days on Thursday, when she completed her epic journey around the world by bicycle in just 124 days, 10 hours, and less than 50 minutes. Leaving from Berlin, she rode for 18,000 miles east across Asia, south through Australia and New Zealand, then traveled to Alaska for a trip across Canada and the US, and finally returning to Berlin from Portugal.
