Comments on: Fatty Goes to Zambia: The Short Version http://www.fatcyclist.com/2012/06/04/fatty-goes-to-zambia-the-short-version/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV.

You also forgot to mention that it is for a country with a huge diversity of tribes, one of the most stable in Africa. Im glad you enjoyed your trip and what WBR is doing for the many people who receive these gifts, but you paint picture of our country where you neglected all the truly phenomenal things about this country, next time you're here do yourself a favor take a couple days off from doing great things go see how great we are.

I have seen how much one bike means in Mozambique, so it must be the same in Zambia. Count me in again for the next round. What an amazing man you are – what a great gift you have given these people.

When was the last time you were so overcome with joy that you fell onto the ground or shook a guy's arm off for two minutes? Makes you think a bit.
