Where do these people get the money and time to peddle a bicycle around the world?

Sponsors.

And now they’re going to make this guy a hero or something?

No, this guy accomplishing a superhuman feat is going to make him a hero.

A superhuman feat? Wow...I had no idea. I recall when I was younger I had a friend and we always competed over everything. Who could eat the fastest, spit the furthest etc. We each got speedometers one Christmas for our stingray bikes. The bet was on! Who could rack up 1,000 miles first? I think it took me about 12 days. I won. I remember thinking I should have won a medal.☺
