Key numbers ... 
 Who am I ?
 Where am I going ? 
 Why on a bicycle ?
Here are introduced the key numbers of this trip, but for the time being, this is just a draft I filled up with the information I have on hand before my departure.

This information will be completed / revised once I will be on my way :
 When you are riding your bicycle, your are testing the human machine, this machine even more silent than your own ride. While pedaling, the 455 muscles of your body work together to provide you with sufficient energy, you put in motion your 211 bones and when you look at a nice scenery while smiling, you are using 17 muscles out of those 455.
