around the world by bicycle


As Bikescape marks its third birthday, Victor Weinreber sets out on a bike trip around the world that will take at least that long. We meet up with him as he finishes his warm-up trip across the USA and prepares to start the actual trek which begins and ends in San Francisco.




Download the mp3 or
go to Bikescape in itunes


Read Victor's journal and diaries of other long distance bike tourers.

Victor sent links about the tools he uses on his trip, such as his cool, home built LED lights, his water bottle/bidet, his 14-speed Rohloff hub, and his Hennessey Hammock tent.

Hey, that's amazing! I've just seen the new podcast on cycling around the world and can't wait for the download to finish! I'm cycling around the blue planet right now myself, have been on the road for almost a year, 25 000km.
I've been listening to your podcast for about 2 years, I'm a real fan and am really looking forward to meet many many cyclists in San Francisco when I come there mid May. Going down to South America after the USA and Mexiko.
Check out my site: www.velaia.de (english, german)
So, hope the download will be finished soon, really can't wait to listen to it.
