So the plan was to get to South America and start pedalling. I was looking forward to being on a big continent, where the road ahead of me seems to go on forever, instead of being confined to a small island. The problem is that I found a city that shuts its roads to cars on Sundays and serves coffee that makes what you get in Australian cafes look about as good as Costa Coffee back in Blighty. OK, Bogota, you've convinced me; I'll stay for a month and learn some Spanish instead. Besides, Ushuaia ain't going anywhere. #colombia #bogota #cyclinglife #cyclovia #bikelife #cycling #biketravel #biketour #biketouring #southamerica #instabike #travel

New blog post, finally. The difficulties of getting off the beaten track, if you’re somewhat on the lazy side, are of course what you encounter while you’re having ‘type two fun’, but for me are also found in the process of getting off the track in the first place. I found this on my first time doing what my new 'bikepacking' setup has allowed me to do: push my bike a lot and rather like it, but only afterwards.

With roads like these, who needs to get anywhere quickly. New Zealand has offered heaps of quiet backcountry back roads through unbelievably photogenic scenery. The fact that I've hardly ever reached for my headphones is testament to the quality of the views you get, if you choose your route wisely. #newzealand #biketour #biketouring #bikepacking #worldbybike #bikewander #biketravel #pedalforever #travel #cycling #adventure #outsideisfree

Shortcut (noun): an alternative route that is shorter than the one usually taken. Any loss in distance is substituted by difficulty and four letter words. Here's me taking a lovely hike-a-bike up the Maungatapu track. It's hard to catch the steepness of hills on camera but let's just say it rose 600 meters in a rocky 4km and you'll understand that 'hike' is the operative word. #newzealand #bikepacking #worldbybike #biketouring #biketour #cycling #travel #pedalforever #bikewander #nelson #biketravel #nomad #adventure #type2fun
