At least he's in great shape. Problem was is that there may be another angle to the story. He probably left because he was bullied at school.

from the Brisbane Times:

Quote:
A 15-year-old Brisbane boy with Asperger's syndrome who disappeared for two weeks and rode his bike more than 950 kilometres to Sydney did it to prove to "bullies'' he wasn't an idiot, his mother says.


I posted this article to my facebook page, really enjoyed the story.
