The family said that they had visited many refugees and Syrian students along the way and had collected their thank-you messages in a notebook.
30-year-old Mulhem al-Said, the father of the family, said that he also wanted to share a poem he wrote for President Erdoğan
Mulhem al-Said, his wife Mey Besrini, 20, their 3-year-old toddler Hamza and six-month-old baby Huzeyfe had started pedaling from Midyat district in Turkey`s southeastern Mardin province in April.
The family fled the five-year civil war and settled in Midyat in 2013.
The distance between Midyat and Ankara is about 1,100 kilometers (683 miles).
Thursday`s destination was Şanlıurfa and the family met officials of a religious school in Viranşehir district and took thank-you letters penned by Syrian students there.
Working as a teacher in Mardin, Said said they set out to convey their wishes to Erdoğan and continued: "No country [helped] Syrians other than Turkey; we set out to show our appreciation, visiting districts and provinces and are taking demands and thanking letters from teachers and students there."
