    Fantastic effort this:

    "Sandro Datishvili has cycled all the way from Tbilisi to Edinburgh to watch Scotland take on Georgia in in their Rugby World Cup warm-up match.

    His pedal power has seen him cover more than 5,358km (approx 3,330 miles) since he set off on 1 June.

    Sandro, 25, an architecture student in Tbilisi, had never travelled long-distance on a bike before."

    "He thought coming on a plane was too easy and he wanted to do something more to show his support for the team."

    It's a strange mixture of a pleasingly amateurish attempt combined with a careful eye for social media (c.f. the carefully laid out kit). Fair play to him, though: it's a non-negligible bike ride, even if he is taking it quite gently.
