(see also finances  and Sponsorships pages)

Occasionally our bicycle adventure is covered by the media.  This is amazing for two reasons.  First, bike touring is not a mainstream activity and non-racing cyclists seldom receive news coverage.  Second, we live abroad, on the road, and without basic conveniences like a telephone or even dependable electricity.  The interviews and stories below will hopefully provide an interesting insight into our nomadic lives and the world of bicycle touring.
