You can't ride across the oceans, and the Pacific alone is nearly half your around the world journey, and the Atlantic is rather wide too.

And i suspect that very few "around the world" cyclists figure that, having ridden across North America, that they must also go back and ride across South America, too, or that, having ridden across Europe from Portugal to Turkey, that must now go back and also ride ride across Africa.

How does one cycle across Oceania (assuming one recognizes it as a continent)? What are good sources for tips as to riding across Antarctica?
