Not quite the story you're after, but 15 years ago my brother took his bike (plus 1 man tent, etc) on a flight to Rome. His plan was to ride ino France then across Spain before coming home.
On his third day in Pisa someone stole his bike while he was getting some money out of the bank! The first we knew about it was when Weymouth Police station rang asking if someone in our family could hand in money to the local station so they could hand my brother the same amount so he could get home. Poor loser!
Apparently, while walking back to the camp site, he flagged down an English trucker who ended up giving him a lift through France to Saint Malo then across the Channel.
