Dejamos las maletas con todo lo demás en casa de un amigo en Londres, y volamos con la bicicleta a Málaga en el sur de España. Ahí comenzó este recorrido que nos llevó a lo largo del Mediterráneo por 2 y medio meses hasta la Isla de Santorini en Grecia, después de varios meses de descanso y retiro de meditación, continuamos hacia la isla de Creta y de ahí a Roma, Francia y Marruecos. Un viaje que duró alrededor de un año, donde nuestro medio principale de transporte era Argos, nuestra bicicleta dorada y nuestras únicas posesiones estas cuatro bolsas y una tienda de acampar.
Les dejo un video donde pueden aprender cómo preparamos este viaje en bicicleta de larga duración, cómo lo organizamos, qué empacamos y que no. Espero que les guste. Viajando en bici por el mundo | Parte 1 |Preparativos
After acquiring a Tandem bicycle, that is, for two people, during our stay in Edinburgh, my partner and I decided to take a long trip touring a large part of this beautiful world in which we live. I didn’t have any previous experience, but Quinn had done several trips in California where he was also a guide for groups that he took on multi-day bike tours. The first thing we did was buy helmets, gloves and some very useful bags that are attached to the wheels of the bicycle and which are called panniers, which in French means baskets. The next thing was to fill these baskets with only the essentials to travel and live. This was when I learned what it meant to be a minimalist.
We left the bags with everything else at a friend’s house in London, and flew the bike to Malaga in the south of Spain. There, we began this journey that took us along the Mediterranean for 2 and a half months to the Island of Santorini in Greece, after several months of rest and meditation retreat, we continued to the island of Crete and from there to Rome, France and Morocco. A trip that lasted about a year, where our main means of transport was Argos, our golden bicycle and our only possessions these four bags and a camping tent. Here´s a video where you can learn how we prepared this long-term bike trip, how we organized it, what we packed and what not. Hope you like it.
