Here’s our new video from two months’ winter cycling through eastern Turkey, Georgia and Armenia. P.S. Thanks to everyone who viewed our last video: Quit Job, Cycle to Asia. We finished in the top 50 of the competition, got a free year’s membership for the video editing software and were featured on the company’s blog!…

Big Cycle Part 10: Turkey #2, a set on Flickr. We have been holed up in a small hostel near the Black Sea in Georgia for Christmas, with the huge mass of Turkey finally behind us. It took us 50 days to cross the country by bicycle. We had visitors from home in Istanbul, a…

You can watch our latest video here – a very short montage of clips from the ride so far from London to Istanbul. We’ve entered the film into a small competition run by the company that makes the software we use to compose the videos (it’s called Magisto). The prize for winning is a video…

  Below is a selection of Laura’s photographs from our cycle ride across northern Greece, through Edessa, Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis… [divide] Autumn welcomed us in the Greek mountains. Deserted beaches with showers made for wonderful campsites. My (Tım’s) brother Robın visited us in Thessaloniki. The city was filled with armed riot police ahead of a…

We’ve spent close to a month pedalling across the Balkans through Croatia, Montenegro and Albania, with brief forays into Bosnia & Herzegovina and Macedonia. It’s been a blast and we were sad to leave. Here is a short video from our time there: (You can watch it on YouTube here) [divide] Round-the-World Cycling Videos We…

Albania has probably been our favourite country so far. Lovely people, lovely scenery and very different from its neighbours and the rest of Europe. Below are a few photos from our cycle across the country. You can view the full set on Flickr. [divide]  Wheeling through a flooded dirt track Beautiful lake views in the…

Here are the latest set of pictures from our cycle down the beautiful Croatian coastline. I’ve copied a few of them below (but it’s possibly the most frustrating experience in the world trying to embed Flickr sets into WordPress using an Android tablet) so head to Flickr to see the rest.

Big Cycle Part 4: Italy, a set on Flickr. Here are our pictures from our ride through northern Italy – Milan, Verona, Venice. [divide] Photo Blogs This photo blog is part of a series from our round-the-world bike trip. Here’s the rest of the series: [one_half] 1. Palace to Palace Photos (Hampton Court to Versaille)…

The Alps felt like our first proper test. We knew we could cycle 50 miles a day several days in a row with a heavy bike but neither of us had ever cycled over a 2,000-metre pass before now. It wasn’t as hard as we thought it might be and not nearly as hard as…

Big Cycle Part 2: Paris to Basel, a set on Flickr. Here’s a collection of photographs taken from our cycle between Paris and Basel, largely along the glorious EuroVelo 6 cycle route. You can browse them on Flickr (which might be easier and/or look nicer) if you click any of the images. We are heading…

Here are the first set of photographs covering about 500km of cycling from Hampton Court Palace to the Palace of Versaille and a little bit beyond, following the Avenue Verte for much of the way through France. They’re almost all taken by Laura. (They’re displayed below using an automatic feature from Flickr. It’s really convenient…
