Connecting Three Universities: A 15,000-Kilometre Cycling Journey
The Journey
Luke Rimmer is an exchange student from the University of Liverpool at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. On 21 July 2026, he set off from Suzhou on a 15,000-kilometre cycling journey across 15 countries, expected to take around 150 days.
Retracing the ancient Silk Road westward, Luke plans to travel via Xi’an Jiaotong University in Shaanxi province before arriving at the University of Liverpool in time for his graduation ceremony in December.
The journey reflects his determination to challenge himself while experiencing and sharing the landscapes, kindness, and realities of the world along the way.
