The adventure ended in San Francisco a few days later. "I regret not having continued to pedal," Otávio laments. "We arrived and it was crazy, a feeling that everything was over ... It was crazy because, even in the biggest disorganization, everything went very well. Nobody got hurt, we were not robbed, we were always welcomed, I think because of the bikes. "

In the end, three months and six thousand miles of pedaling afterward, they ended up donating their bikes to a charity. "Our bikes were relics." Without the bikes, they decided to know more about the United States.

The guitarist, whenever he can, recalls his adventure with his traveling friends, with whom he continues to maintain contact. "Going on such a trip is a test for your luck. You put yourself at the disposal of your luck, your destiny, who will be the people you will meet, how you will handle the situations. And, the coolest thing to do is to know that, by bike, and with courage, it's a great adventure. Anyone can. You can".
