"What sort of bicycle are you gonna be using?"

A lot of people have been asking me about the gear I'll be bringing on the trip, and it's a good question - so I think it deserves a post.

The Route

The route as planned crosses 2 continents, 26 countries, and adds up to a total of about 18,000 km to be cycled. Let's break it down to the individual stages.

The Association for Greenlandic Children

In an attempt to justify this entire trip, I’ve decided on taking the opportunity to raise awareness and funds for "Foreningen Grønlandske Børn", in english, The Association for Greenlandic Children.

Cycling from Finland to Indonesia

For the next year or so, I will be attempting to go to Indonesia south of the equator from Finland - on a bicycle!
