By participating in this bike trip, the students were able to get to know the land in which they grew up.

Hsieh said that originally it was purely a guided bike trip, but the fire accident at Formosa Fun Coast water park took place before they began the journey, with five hundred people injured and many people still struggling for their lives. After having a discussion with the students, Hsieh decided to complete the ten-day trip while praying for the victims of the fire and to also bring Third Prince tee shirts, socks, backpacks and various other items for the students to sell for charity at each rest stop while they take breaks.

台東鐵人三太子想為公益而騎、台東市光明國小等校的學生要以單車環島挑戰自我，兩相結合，六月二十四日上午展開為期十天的單車環島之旅，由鐵人三太子中的哪吒領騎。
這場單車環島行原本是以光明國小五年級師生及家長為主的自發性活動。校長張月昭表示，學生從半年前開始規畫及訓練，這裡面有六名學生，來自四個家庭，其中四名學生來自光明國小，一名來自東海國中七年級生，唯一女學生則是花蓮明義國小畢業生，透過單車活動來認識自己生長的土地。
台東鐵人三太子團長謝明飛日前得知這場單車環島行後，決定讓鐵人三太子中負責單車挑戰的哪吒陪四個家庭單車環島，帶著學生用雙腳及自己的能力完成壯舉。
謝明飛說，原本只是單純陪騎，卻在行前發生八仙塵暴事件，造成近五百人受傷，多人還在與死神搏鬥，與學生討論後，決定帶著祈福的心完成十天行程，並帶著三太子T恤、襪子、背包等多項義賣品，在每個休息點，讓學生一邊休息一邊義賣。
