Ebrahim Hemmatnia (born 25 June 1976) is a Persian-Dutch adventurer and the first person in the world who biked an ocean. He biked the Atlantic ocean in 68 days by an amphibious cycle (also called boatbike), a human-powered vehicle capable of operation on both land and water. He crossed several big cities as Dakar, Natal, João Pessoa, Recife, Aracaju, Salvador, Vitória, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.[1][2][3][4][5] Ebrahim holds the Guinness World Records for world's longest journey by amphibious cycle.[6]
