I agree.

P.S.: The guy's mom wanting to finish the bike trip for her son is just bizarre to me, especially with zero experience and a host of physical ailments that she rattled off in the video. I have to think that grief and shock have taken over her better judgement.
I hope that she gets more help in her goal to finish her son's quest, in having more people to give her aid and equipment, and instead of trying to do the final leg all in one shot, do it in several stages over a longer period of time.
