The Little Bike Trip goes large!

After dreaming about a long distance bike trip for the last 5 years bikeabout is born. We shall start our next ride in New Zealand in September 2009 and spend the next 15 months making our way back to England.

We plan to cycle as much of our route as possible, however if we were to cycle the whole route in just 15 months we would need to cycle too many miles a day. This would leave us little time to experience the culture and diversity of the lands we travel through, which is one of the main reasons for doing the trip. So we shall be taking buses, trains, boats and maybe a horse or a camel if our legs get really tired.

This website will provide us with a place to share our experiences with our friends and family and anyone else that is interested in our trip.

Whilst we have been preparing for the trip the most common question we have been asked is ‘Why are you doing it?’ There are many reasons but primarily the trip is for us; we hope to learn more about ourselves and the world we live in.

In addition to this we hope our ride will draw attention to Child’s Dream, our chosen charity. If you want to find out more or donate please visit our charity page.

Thanks to our sponsors, with their help and support our dream has become a reality.
