Three Years of Seek Travel Ride. Bike Adventures and the Best Places to Travel by Bike

Seek Travel Ride has just turned three, and for this mid-week episode I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of a highlights reel, I’m sharing why this podcast exists in the first place, and what three years of conversations with bike adventurers from all over the world has taught me. In this episode we talk about Why Seek Travel Ride has always been about experiences, not gear How experience comes after you start, not before Why you don’t need to identify as a cyclist to travel by bike Choosing your own adventure and letting go of comparison Riding as transport and sustainability The bike as a connector to people and cultures The Seek Travel Ride community and the power of shared stories I also share insights from a recent article by Alee Denham from CyclingAbout, which analysed years of Seek Travel Ride episodes to identify the best places in the world to travel by bike, based entirely on guest stories and lived experience. Very cool! Listen to my previous episode with Alee here. Finally, I reflect on the community that has grown around the podcast, how it has helped people take their first adventures, and why that community is the reason Seek Travel Ride has made it to three years.
