The beauty of the world is in its diversity, but diversity oftentimes puts up barriers of ignorance. Our mission is to preserve diversity while tearing down these barriers. Our belief is centered on emphasizing our similarities through peace, love, and humanity, while still embracing our differences, as this concept is what makes the unified flag of humanity so colorful.

"We are not philosophers, social scientists, or experts in international law. We are two young college students from Iran who are deeply saddened by the impact of eight years of war between Iraq and our country. We have observed the senseless devastation, destruction, and loss of lives brought upon many nations on the face of the Earth. On the other hand, we have learned about glorious victories in several countries towards liberation and democracy without resorting to war and violence—South Africa, the former Soviet Union, and India, to name a few."

Every human has a basic desire to explore the unknown. Every once in a while, this desire flourishes into craving to touch the lives of people all over the world and bring them a message of peace and unity. Our Pedal4Peace cyclists are messengers – messengers that are bearing the torch of peace and unity throughout the world. We believe we are more alike than we are different, and that this should be our focus when we interact with one another. Our goal is to take this message to every continent during our five-year tour on nothing but our bicycles and the goodness of people throughout the world. Our mission began on September of 2000 in Tehran, Iran with ten years of cycling experience under our belts. Our previous tours took us to locations within Iran, the rest of the Middle East, and various European countries. The purpose of our current tour is to carry a message of friendship as the unofficial bicycle ambassadors of Iranian people all over the world.
