Oscar Donovan | Cargo Bikepacking Around the World

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast I have the opportunity to speak with Arianna and Daniel about their amazing European cycling adventure. Coming from opposite ends of Europe and having vastly different bike touring experiences, these two physicists fell in love with not just bike touring, but also each other. After spending a considerable amount of time designing and manufacturing their bikes, Daniel and Arianna embarked on a massive adventure with their dog Zola to make a GPS drawing of a bike on the European continent so as to encourage people to ride bikes more, and to put thought into how they can minimize their environmental impact. Over the three years it took to accomplish this mission, they ended up setting a world record for creating the worlds largest GPS drawing.BTA's Newest Supporters:Rachel RobertsTo support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/bikepackadventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bikepackadventures Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubFind them at:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bicycleswillsavetheworld_/Website: https://bicycleswillsavetheworld.com/Find me at…WEBSITE: http://www.biketouradventures.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bike_tour_adventures/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BikeTourAdv ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bike-tour-adventures/id1464406852 Show SponsorsThe Bike Tour Adventures podcast is incredibly lucky to have some amazing corporate sponsors.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast, I am very pleased to have Jonas Deichmann back on the show for a third time. This makes him my guest with the most appearances and definitely some of the most inspiring experiences to share. In previous interviews, we spoke about his Eurasia challenge, Pan-America Solo challenge and his Cape-to-Cape challenge, his Guiness records and the logistical challenges of making these kinds of adventures possible. Over the past two years, he has raised the bar even higher by preparing for and completing the worlds first Triathlon Around the World. At 120 x the distance of an Ironman triathlon, Jonas swam, biked and ran his way around the world over a 14 month period. Today, we are going to talk about this adventure and the difficulties of trying to get it done during a pandemic.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, I have the chance to sit back with Peyman of Nomad's Trails. Peyman and Matilda are from Finland and for quite some time now, have embraced a more nomadic way of living. From off the grid living in a van while saving up for this trip of a lifetime, to going on back-country adventures in Finnish winter and planning a world biking tour that is expected to last from 5 - 10 years, they have always tried to take as much as they can from the land, while minimizing their impact on the environment. They have taken on some amazing challenges, such as riding through the Moroccan desert, they spent a year living in The Gambia during Covid and cycled to Finland in the dead of winter. I'm very excited to have Peyman on the show to share their story.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/bikepackadventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bikepackadventures Find them at:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nomadstrails/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/nomadstrailsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/nomadstrailsWebsite: https://nomadstrails.com/Find me at…WEBSITE: http://www.biketouradventures.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bike_tour_adventures/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BikeTourAdv ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bike-tour-adventures/id1464406852 Show SponsorsThe Bike Tour Adventures podcast is incredibly lucky to have some amazing corporate sponsors.
