Never travel with Qatar Airways!

After returning from Brazil my dear friend Patrick recieved me in his appartment in Dubai again. I had left my bike with him and the stuff  I wouldn’t need in the mean time.The flight to Lahore was already booked and I knew that I would only have a few days in the city. I used that time to edit the two videos I had prepared in Curitiba about the Permaculture farmers and the Biker’s Club. Then it was time to pack my stuff and leave. Patrick brought me to the airport and we said goodbye. The guys at the security check looked a little puzzled when they saw me come with my bike fully packed, I had to answer all sorts of questions before they let me pass. When I reached the Check-in desk I was given a look as if I was a terrorist. „This Bicycle is not going anywhere!“ – said the hysterical lady who was probably in charge at that night. „Never travel with Qatar Airways!“ weiterlesen

Bicicletaria Cultural

There is a place in Curitiba where your bike and soul are in good hands. The Bicicletaria Cultural is a space that combines Arts and Bikes in a way that no other does, at least that is what I experienced when I took a look around. The mixture of cultural activities and workshops to repair your ride is a great idea! Patricia Valverde and Fernando Rosenbaum are not only the Founders of this institution but also Bicycle Activists fighting to make the city o Curitiba a better place!

Caipirinha for Change!

Why I suddenly packed my bike a went to the other side of the globe…

Shortly after we reached Iran I received a message from a friend in Brazil. He said that he had to talk to me and that it was urgent. In a skype call he explained  that he was going to make a movie for Brazilian Telvision and that he wants me to play in it. My first reaction was „that impossible! I’m on a bike tour to India…“ He offered to pay for the flights and all expenses if I could make it to Brazil by the 18th of August and stay for 10 days. „Caipirinha for Change!“ weiterlesen

This is how we crossed the turkish border. We met Mehmet in Kirkareli and he introduced us to the turkish lifestyle. I didn’t put any voiceover on this one because I think that the pictures speak for themselves. I like the music and the whole atmosphere of the clip so just lay back and relax…
