Welcome to TheBikeAdventure.com                                  A solo bicycle expedition around the world

In August I will be heading out on a adventure of a lifetime. The goal is to cycle around the world, through five continents. The journey will take approximately 3 to 4 years. Maybe it will take me 3 years or maybe longer, but the purpose of the trip is not to be the fastest. It is to enjoy myself and axperience as muchas I can.

When I first started to plan for this adventure it was not about the bicycle, it was about experience other cultures and to meet people and to see how they life there everyday life in countries you wouldn't narmally visit on vacation. During this expedition I will document my andeavours on this website in my blog and with vidoes and photos.
Hopefully you would like to follow me on this jorney through my blog and videos. To live trough my highs and lows and at the end see me finish this adventure and complete my circumnavigation around the globe.

This is my first route planning in the rough. I know I will change a lot on this first plan before and along the way.

When planning for this trip I didn't want to plan to much an detail. The big appeal with this is that I can decide exactly where I want to go, and if I feel like I want to change the route or stay a couple of days in one place, I will.

The goal is always to enjoy myself...

The bike

This is the bike as it looks now.

I will be testing the bikes components thoroughly ut to the time of departure. And i will change some components so that I feel confident that the bike will be able to withstand what it will be going through.
Even though I know I will have to change a lot on the bike along the way...
