In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast, I am very pleased to have Jonas Deichmann back on the show for a third time. This makes him my guest with the most appearances and definitely some of the most inspiring experiences to share. In previous interviews, we spoke about his Eurasia challenge, Pan-America Solo challenge and his Cape-to-Cape challenge, his Guiness records and the logistical challenges of making these kinds of adventures possible. Over the past two years, he has raised the bar even higher by preparing for and completing the worlds first Triathlon Around the World. At 120 x the distance of an Ironman triathlon, Jonas swam, biked and ran his way around the world over a 14 month period. Today, we are going to talk about this adventure and the difficulties of trying to get it done during a pandemic.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, I talk through my recent failure on the BTXL bikepacking route in southern Ontario. I spent some time talking about my mindset prior to the event, challenges I had to overcome, why I ultimately decided to call it a day an what I learned from the experience.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast, I interview John about his experiences touring and bikepacking with his dog Mira, as they embark on their dogpacking world tour. With the goal of dogpacking across all 6 continents and taking on Antarctica by himself, John has been doing something truly remarkable. What better way to travel the world than with man's best friend.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, I have the chance to sit back with Peyman of Nomad's Trails. Peyman and Matilda are from Finland and for quite some time now, have embraced a more nomadic way of living. From off the grid living in a van while saving up for this trip of a lifetime, to going on back-country adventures in Finnish winter and planning a world biking tour that is expected to last from 5 - 10 years, they have always tried to take as much as they can from the land, while minimizing their impact on the environment. They have taken on some amazing challenges, such as riding through the Moroccan desert, they spent a year living in The Gambia during Covid and cycled to Finland in the dead of winter. I'm very excited to have Peyman on the show to share their story.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast I sit down with Cameron and Glen, two adventurers that live and breath bikes. Both of these guys have been working at Brockton Cyclery in Toronto since it first opened and when not in the 'office' they can usually be found out riding, camping, and drinking coffee. As one of the pre-eminent bike touring and bikepacking shops in Ontario, Brockton Cyclery has grown into a household name to many people across the country. This Intro to Bikepacking night was originally live-streamed over Instagram on Thursday May 12th, 2022. Throughout this episode, we talk a lot about the bike touring and bikepacking, how to prepare for your first adventure, and what are the most recommended pieces of gear someone should consider buying. We also discuss bikes, bike camping, and share our own stories so that people can learn from our experiences. Brockton Cyclery has been kind enough to provide me with a sponsorship this year and have been instrumental in me finishing my new bike build and making it into the ultimate bikepacking rig.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast, I have invited Louis-Philippe Landry onto the show to talk to us about overcoming our fears and how to maintain a positive mindset when things get tough. LP is a psychotherapist here in Canada, with a passion for working with people that lead an active lifestyle. Louis-Philippe's professional goal is to help other's overcome obstacles in order to reach their potential. A passionate cyclists whose ideal morning begins with an early morning bike ride before getting home for breakfast with his wife and daughters. I'm really stoked to have him on the show and share some of his wisdom with us, and hopefully help us unlock some of our hidden potential.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast I really excited to introduce you to Heinz Stücke. For those of you that may not know who he is, I'm about to tell you. Starting in November of 1962 at the age of 22, Heinz rode out of his town on a 3-speed bicycle with a general plan to see the world, he would ultimately travel over 600,000km by bicycle in a journey spanning nearly 50 years and covering enough distance to circumnavigate the world 15 times around. Never giving up on his beloved bike it had been stolen and recovered 5 times and welded 16 times, Heinz lives by the motto "Be carefree - Be Mad - Be a little bit bad. It's the unknown around the corner that turns my wheel." By the end of the tour, Heinz had cycled through 196 countries and 86 territories.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures I have the chance to speak with Liz Pomeroy, an Irish-Canadian artist that goes by the stage name 0Stella. The "0" in her name symbolizes her advocacy for zero-waste. When venue doors locked down in 2020 it got her thinking: I’m 0Stella. I stand for sustainability, zero waste. I tour all the time. I can do this better. So she committed to touring across Canada on a bicycle, by herself. A 2022 cycling bard. There is no other way she'd rather tour right now. So she's hitting the road this spring to bring live music and stories back to you, to your garden, to your acreage, to your driveway. Four and a half months across almost 7,000 kilometres. When I first came across an article that detailed what 0Stella was planning to do, I immediately knew I wanted to get her on the show to share her story with us.
I first had the pleasure of interviewing Victor in Episode 039 of the podcast. Victor had been on a bike tour to follow the footsteps of the famed philologist and orientalist Alexander Csoma de Koros, author of the first Tibetan-English dictionary and grammar book. Victor chose to use a bike to follow the route that Csoma walked, taking him through places such as Turkey, Kurdistan, Iran, through Tajikistan into the famed Pamir Highway, across the border into Wakhan Corridor, Pakistan and then finally into India where he finished his trip at the place where Csoma is buried in Darjeeling. Now, having finished his expedition and written a book, Victor has been on the move again, embarking on some pretty amazing cycling adventures.
In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, Steve O'Shaughnessy and I sit down for a conversation on how we got into podcasting, what led us to bikepacking and how our passion for biking drives the development of our podcasts and ultimately, take us on amazing adventures. Steve has on multiple occasions ridden the BC Epic 1000, AR 700 and Lost Elephant bike races. He has a deep appreciation of all things bikes and finds that his deepest connections are with people who like to travel by bike. Listen to this conversation and be sure to check out his podcast as well.
