Welcome to World Biking!  We're Eric and Amaya, two ordinary people who gave up regular lives to become bike nomads and cycle around the world.   

Join us for entertainment, information and inspiration as we cross continents on our round the world bike tour through Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North America and South America.

Subscribe to the World Biking newsletter and share our enthusiasm, inspiration and frustrations as we begin our fourth year of biking around the world.
