GEORGE TOWN, Jan 20 (Bernama) -- Six best friends intent to create local history by cycling 80,000 kilometres from here to London under a program called "Lebuh Downing ke Downing Street" (From Downing Avenue to Downing Street).

By plane. Ride bicycle to airport. Send bicycle to cargo, then take airplane together with the cargo. Reach London, open back cargo, ride the bicycle to your destination.

By ship. Ride bicycle to seaport. Send bicycle to cargo, then take ship together with the cargo. Reach London, open back cargo, ride the bicycle to your destination.
