Why I Travel by Bicycle

I’ve travelled through many landscapes by bicycle.

Some journeys were planned carefully. Others began with no more than a rough direction and a loaded bike. I’ve travelled solo and I’ve also travelled with friends and family.

I travel by bicycle because it changes the way I experience the world. Small encounters and everyday places matter more. People often stop to chat. I feel calmer.

It’s not the fastest way to travel, nor the most glamorous. But for me it is the most meaningful.

This site is a place to gather those journeys, past and present.

Some pages will look back on rides already completed. Others will be notes written while travelling. This is a record of the road.
