      Because of the Darian Gap, many who have cycled from one point or another have skipped that bit. There’s an old video of the first bicycle crossing on Youtube somewhere. It’s more: hike the gear to a spot, walk back for the bike, carry the bike, camp – then repeat. Took them a very long time.

      Probably. I’ve randomly met 4 different people that have done this ride so it’s popular enough that I wouldn’t be surprised.

      Sick trip though op! Praying for you on the downhills

      Safe your knees. We are not talking about commuting on flat city streets, where I could see the point of a single speed. This is a major challenge in itself. Lots of people have to stop on trips like this because their bodies cannot handle it. Apart from bragging rights single speed makes no sense whatsoever.

      Ewan McGregor did, but stopped in LA, on an electric motorcycle in the documentary “Long way Up.” Kind of a fun show and it showcases some of the general travel troubles they ran into along the way.

      Why not start fixed and keep adding components if its unbearable. I would start with a frame that at least allowes you to add a derailleur.
      Only one way to find out.
      If Ed can do around the world on a unicycle…

      it has been done before, you can avoid mountains and compromise on a easy gear with a decent cruise-speed
