feel good blog of the winter
Celebrating the bicycle from here to New Zealand, one revolution at a time.
On a rainy evening last autumn the idea developed to go cycling and a route from Lithuania to New Zealand was improvised. We started from zero, that’s to say we didn’t have heavy duty bikes and no serious tour cycling experience. But now we are getting ready to ride halfway around the planet. The countries we pass are
Lithuania, Latvia (March) —> Georgia, Turkey (April), Iran (May), Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgistan, China, China, China, and some more China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia —> NZ .
We choose to travel by bike because hitchhiking in the Far East doesn’t feel right, and because we like to go places where cars can’t. Also we love slow views and the wind in our face. It’s in that spirit we rise in the morning, raise the flag, stand upright next to the bikes and give a short and loud – vive le vélo!

Dear Ben and dear Roberta, we just got a postcard from Corry and Cor and got the hint with your weblink. We can’t believe you have been doing this. The photos are out of this world. Love Hubs and Jutta
