Why I Travel by Bicycle
I’ve travelled through many landscapes by bicycle. Some trips were planned carefully. Others began with a rough direction and a loaded bike. I’ve travelled solo and I’ve travelled with friends and family.
I travel by bicycle because bike trips are mainly about the journey rather than any destination (a cliché but true!). Slow travel means the small encounters and everyday places take on more significance. I see the popular sights, but I also get to see all the normal life in between and discover places for myself.
It’s not the fastest way to travel, and definitely not the most glamorous, but for me it is the most meaningful. I’ve created this site to gather my journeys, past and present.
