One year on a bike - Martijn Doolaard

Martijn (@martijndoolaard) is a long-distance bike traveller. He crosses the cities and countryside, deserts and mountains of the world to meet people, and perhaps himself too. Between 2015 and 2016, starting from Amsterdam, he rode 17,000 kilometres on his Surly to Singapore. Between 2018 and 2019, he rode along the west coast of the Americas, from Vancouver to Patagonia. Between two pedal strokes, Martijn takes magnificent photos and captures the highlights of his journey on video. He has published ’‘One year on a bike’’, a large, richly illustrated book, and made a documentary.

The evening of 12 December will take the form of an interview of a good hour. Martijn will show some photos and videos as a treat for the eyes. He will then answer your questions. He will speak in English, but you can ask him questions in any language. He will share his routes, travel tips and tricks, equipment advice and lots of amazing anecdotes. An ideal evening if you are preparing a bike trip yourself or simply dreaming of one.

The bar will be open all evening and will also offer small snacks. The book “One year on a bike” will be available in French and English, and Martijn will be happy to sign it for you personally. You are warmly invited to this Morning Cycles event at the premises of your favourite bike shop.
