Cycling around the world / world circumnavigation

Since riding 'around the world', as far as that is possible without hitting bridgeless salty water, now seems to be something people do quite regularly, I thought a thread might be in order. Some of these rides have been covered in Ultracycling, but as not all rides around the world are 'ultra', some being quite slow and touristy, they wouldn't all fit in there.

Of previous threads, we've had two on Julian Sayarer:

I can't find a thread about Mark Beaumont's rides around the world, although there are two other threads about him. We posted about it in the Ultracycling thread, before and after here: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/13858533/

Among other threads, there is this, but the original link doesn't work any more and I don't know what it was about:

Needless to say, people have made a world record out of this (although see below for people who ride in other ways and for other reasons):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Around_the_world_cycling_record

The Wikipedia page has a list of all the serious attempts so far, including reasons why they were not counted.

The current female around-the-world record holder is Jenny Graham from these very shores:

She broke the record previously held by Paola Gianotti, a record having originally been set by Juliana Buhring. Her record now stands at 124 Days, 10 hours, and 50 minutes.

The current male record holder is Mark Beaumont, with 78 days, 14 hours, and 40 minutes (see the above link on the world record), although it must be noted that the two records are very different. He was heavily supported, while Jenny Graham was unsupported.

There have been quite a few, and I'm sure there will continue to be, more colourful attempts, including these--please post if you know of others:

Richard Evans rode around the world on his recumbent a few years ago and wrote a book about it:

Joff Summerfield has ridden all over on his ordinary bike:

(I remember his web-site as having more blog content rather than pictures, but I last looked at it about ten years ago, I think.)

Ed Pratt is riding a unicycle (thanks to @greentricky for the info):

More pertinent to this here forum, Markus Stitz rode single-speed in 2017:

Not to be outdone, Foffa Bikes seem to have the following link, but as my browser said it was an insecure connection ('The owner of foffabikes.com has configured their web site improperly.'), I thought I wouldn't risk it. It might be full of ... well, you know.

https://foffabikes.com/around-the-world-on-a-foffa/

Apparently, the rider was one Daniel Papadopoulos, in 2014, but I can't easily find any other info on his attempt.

Here's what seems the latest attempt, by Charlie Condell:

It's unknown whether @Sam_Doman has set off on his sailing trip yet, but of course it's a little off-topic for 'General'. :)

I'm sure there are more, so please add them if you know of them.
