Its a great effort. I gave him a few nickels too. Ive been to that part of world (Iran/PK) and its very remote. The fact its not governed in any meaningful way by central gov makes it doubly hard to be on a bike in the middle of the desert. After BEaumonts near miss and, apparnetly, a worsening situation, its pretty reasonable to give it a wide bberth, esp if he's on a tight deadline.
If you really want to cycle round the world without any breaks it would mean at least crossing the frozen Barents Sea. Don't fancy that much, but could be done using a pedallo if it warms up a bit? I think its just a case of racking up milage equivalent to the earth's circumference or some such.
