Le bord des routes, a bike trip around the world travelog, Yves Chaloin.

After three bike trips alone for the sake of sports: Ukraine 1994, Israel 1999 and a trip around the world in 2002, I still felt the need for travelling. I dreamt of sharing such an awesome adventure with someone else. Some day, Olivia told me that she was fed up with listening to my stories and that she wanted to travel, too.

We rapidly imagined a bike trip on an uncommon tandem and figured out how to make it come true. That is what inspired me to write this book, without cheating, just telling what I saw and trying to describe what I felt.

As you are reading these lines, we are probably on the road again, somewhere between South America, Canada, Australia and Africa.

I hope you enjoy this travelog. And who knows? Maybe it will make you feel like travelling. You do not need to be any sportsman. It just takes to be able to dream. A bike trip around the world…

is a whole life.
