I’m Mad

Since we’ve been in Asia, we’ve seen many techniques to help the cyclist along on his or her ride. There is:

The push: Motorbike pushing a cyclist (note the motorist’s foot).

Push


The pull
: Motorbike pulling a cyclist.

Pull

The Joint Effort Look carefully at their feet. Two pedals and four feet per bike.

Joint Effort

Not sure what this is about but we saw it often enough.

Two Bikes

Alls I want to know is: why didn’t anyone tell me about these options before we cycled 20,000 km. I’m mad people…mad!

    Damn! I could have won the TDA (women’s section). I should have ignored TDA rules, catch up with Jos in the morning and stick to him ;-)

    Hi there! You look tanned and happy and so much younger than last time I saw you! There is no new post from you, and I kept checking but today I found new pictures :-) Spiros, the portraits and pictures with people are absolutely fantastic!!!!! And it was also great to see some bigger shots with you and the final one with Mel and Jesse. Congratulations on 20000km!!!! It’s almost TDA all over again :-)
    Now, if you don’t see an increment on all the pictures, it only proofs my theory that the counting doesn’t work well.

    Keep having fun! But careful on Valentine’s day, please. Especially with road bumps.
    Missing you!

    I still think mine was the best plan. Stick bike in truck, relax in seat, and watch the scenery from a higher perspective. :-)

    Oh, you forgot the best one! It’s called “The Car”.

    It’s when you mount the bike on the back and then get in the car and… well, you know… drive. I hear it’s a hoot.

    I love it.

    Now on a serious note

    I understand that you guys have been on a bike for 13 months +-
    I get the whole minimalist thing. I understand the natural thing. Look I am a vegetarian, I get it.

    Listen… Drug store hair dye can’t cost more than 5 bucks. I love ya – but please – you’re scaring my kids!
