Simple Puzzle

To any with a passing interest in mathematics or logic (got my email? =P):

Two bicyclists start 20km apart and head straight towards each other, each going at a steady speed of 10km/h. At the same time, a fly that travels at a steady 15km/h starts from the front wheel of the southbound bicycle and flies to the front wheel of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front wheel of the southbound one again, and continues in this manner until it is crushed between the 2 front wheels.

Question: What total distance did the fly cover?

Best answer with a good explanation gets a prize! =P

Yours,
Charles
