Heinz Stücke | 50 Years Around the World by Bike - Part 1

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast I really excited to introduce you to Heinz Stücke. For those of you that may not know who he is, I'm about to tell you. Starting in November of 1962 at the age of 22, Heinz rode out of his town on a 3-speed bicycle with a general plan to see the world, he would ultimately travel over 600,000km by bicycle in a journey spanning nearly 50 years and covering enough distance to circumnavigate the world 15 times around. Never giving up on his beloved bike it had been stolen and recovered 5 times and welded 16 times, Heinz lives by the motto "Be carefree - Be Mad - Be a little bit bad. It's the unknown around the corner that turns my wheel." By the end of the tour, Heinz had cycled through 196 countries and 86 territories.BTA's Newest Supporters:Chris De SistoRyan PhillipsDave WeilTo support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:}https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures or}https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures Find Heinz at:FACEBOOK: }https://www.facebook.com/heinzstuckeFind 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.
