Going on a cross-country trip is an adventure and a challenge I would like to undertake on a pushbike.

Cross-country trips can be quite rugged. Terrain can be uninviting. Be it a case of sticking to the roads or leaving the road to go genuinely across the country, I would be hard-pressed to do that by transport which would be limiting.

Trains don’t go everywhere, trucks cars and buses tend to get stuck in bog holes, held up by bad roads or mechanical breakdowns.

By bike might be slow but I think it would be a sure way of getting to my destination. Speed is not the essence, but reaching my destination is.

So it’s all bike from start to finish.
