Last year I quit my job, moved out of my house, sold my belongings and embarked on a global bike tour. The experience changed who I am as a person. I have met incredible people, seen awe-inspiring landscapes, and pitched my tent under the clearest skies imaginable. I have also encountered terrifying wild animals, weather conditions which have tested the limits of my resolve and - in hindsight, foolishly - pedalled on some of the world’s most dangerous highways.
My life-changing ride took a year, and saw me traverse countries all over the world. But, you don’t have to go so far to have an epiphany on two wheels. Life-changing rides could involve pedalling home from a first date, that first cycle commute that made you realise that pedal power was faster than travelling via SUV, or an e-bike ride that proved your cycling days were not over.
