Video: Bike Touring In Ukraine

Posted September 28th, 2012

Ukraine isn’t the best known of bike touring destinations, so it’s especially nice to see a new video from keen cyclist and film maker Blanche that looks at cycling in this ex-Soviet state.

If you like what you see here, you can follow Blanche on Twitter, where she also regularly promotes other videos from the bike touring world.

Posted July 31st, 2012

We just returned from our first extended bike tour as a family. 

With 5-month-old Luke in tow, we cycled 550km through the Netherlands, Belgium and France. We’ll be blogging more in the coming weeks about the lessons learnt from this tour but first, a video that we managed to shoot and assemble (in our tent at night) along the way.

Bicycle Touring In Baby Steps: The Video

Posted June 12th, 2012

When we go cycling in the Netherlands, we often go with our friend Blanche.

Lucky for us, she’s not only a cyclist and a wonderful friend – she’s also a film maker! And recently she decided to make a mini documentary with us about bicycle touring with a baby.

We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it with her.
