Scott Sharick | It’s Never Too Late to Bike Tour + Tips for Cycling in Bangladesh

Scott Sharick | It’s Never Too Late to Bike Tour + Tips for Cycling in Bangladesh

In episode 004 of Bike Tour Adventures, I interview Scott Sharick, an American that decided to quit his job and cycle around the world after suffering a stroke. His views on life, love of cycling, and immersion into local cultures will surely keep you entertained.

I first met Scott while on my short tour of Norther Thailand, through Adam and Lucia. It was cool to see someone that is not a young 20-something doing a multi-year tour of the world. At first, I didn’t give it that much thought, as I had no intention of doing a podcast or any other type of thing, but then ended up checking out his facebook, and his blog, and while reading it, I came to see and appreciate Scott, as he has the uncanny ability to capture people with his camera.

There are two types of bike tourers. Those that bike because they love biking and those that use it a means of getting from A to B. Scott is the latter variety, having been a cyclist all his life, and conveniently using it as a means of achieve his goal of going around the world and seeing everything it has to offer. Having previously cycled across the United States when in his 20s, both East-West and North-South, he somehow never took it to the level of doing a world tour.

After working a career in the medical field in various locations throughout the world, Scott suffered a stroke. Fortunately he was able to make a full recovery. This led to him deciding to make a drastic change to his way of life, get back on the bike, and to set out to achieve his long time dream of cycling around the world.

“With seven billion people in the world, it’s kinda hard to get lonely!”

Throughout this episode we talk about his past bike touring experiences, what types of challenges he’s had to overcome while on this tour, how his friends and family feel about his tour, and what some of his best memories are so far. Scott shared some amazing stories of riding in Bangladesh, running out of money in various countries, and how the generosity of strangers always seems to occur at the times of greatest need.

Scott’s passion for photography and capturing people in their everyday lives, has led him off the beaten path while cycling around the various countries of SE Asia. Rather than a more tradition point A to point B bike tour, Scott’s path twists and turns, much like the Mekong River. While many bike tourists circumnavigate the world in 1-2 years, Scott’s plan will take him a minimum of 5 years. sure to check out my website www.biketouradventures.com for blog posts, pictures, videos, cycling tips and more.

Arianna & Daniel | Bicycles Will Save The World

Arianna & Daniel | Bicycles Will Save 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.

Nomad's Trails | 10 Years Around the World by Bike

Nomad's Trails | 10 Years Around the World by Bike

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.
