Have you ever wondered what it feels like to bicycle around the entire Earth? To measure the vastness of continents through the rhythm of your own effort? To grasp how immense—and yet how small—this water-covered rock truly is? To witness countries, cultures, languages, and cuisines as they transform and change, and blend, until you finally complete a full circuit and are back to where you started?
Ted Eliason was looking for a break in his career and decided to take a trip around the world. By bike. Come listen to highlights from his trip and the trails and tribulations that go with circumnavigating the globe on two wheels. He completed a garage-to-garage journey around the Earth in 1,379 bicycle travel days for 51,164 miles all on his Surly Long Road Trucker.
