Bangladesh – rickshaw traffic
The city is famous for its rickshaw jams. Even though the trishaws regularly stand still, the locals still prefer riding… in one above walking to their destination.
Feature
Bangladesh – rickshaw graveyard
When they can no longer be repaired, they’re brought to Dhaka’s rickshaw graveyard. It’s an eerie, yet strangely beautiful sight…
Bangladesh – rickshaws
Every inch of a rickshaw; from the handlebars to the saddles and awnings to fenders, is embellished. But it’s the… frames where the artists go wild. Film stars, gun-toting heroines, villains, lions, ships, birds, planes and even flowers can be viewed on rickshaw undercarriages.
Oman – bicycle touring
A photo gallery of cycling in Oman. This country is barren yet the diversity in desert landscapes is enormous. After weeks… of pedaling there, our skin dried out and we were continually covered in sand. We had turned into desert rats.
Oman – camping
A photo gallery of camping in Oman. Wild camping is legal there and since there’s almost nobody around, we’d just… pull off the road and set up our tent.
Bolivia – Parade
We could hear the brass band blasting. Then came the dancers, whirling around. Bolivians love a good parade and streets…
Bolivia – bicycle touring
A photo gallery of cycling through Bolivia. This country isn’t the easiest destination to ride through due to the sand… and high elevations. But pedaling across the Salar de Uyuni is one of our all-time favorite experiences of traveling by bike.

Bolivians flocked to the Independence day celebrations in Sucre, turning the town into a great place for people watching and… doing
Bolivia – train graveyard
A photo gallery of the Cementerio de Trenes. The rusted locomotives and rail cars have long been corroded by the… salty winds. It’s an eerie, yet strangely beautiful sight.
Bolivia – busses
Dull, plain busses are just so passé. Why not do as the Bolivians do and jazz up public transport with… some bad photoshop.
Argentina – bicycle touring
A photo gallery of cycling through Argentina. The never-ending Ruta 40 led us through this country. Accompanied by a playlist… of road trip songs that played through our heads – the miles flew by.
Cycling in Bagan
During the midday heat, we would sit in the shade of a famous temple. Deserted pagodas are atmospheric, but touristic… ones have vendors selling ice-cold drinks! Then when the temperature cooled, off we went.
Myanmar – cycling
We’re just Western cyclists. But for the girls, we were foreign, new and exciting! They wrote down our names and… beamed while standing next to us.
Irrawaddy boat trip
From Bagan, we caught a ride on the local freight boat to Pyay. It was a leisurely four day journey… We just sat on the deck, viewing the scenery and watching everything that happened around us.
Myanmar – bicycle culture
A photo gallery of Myanmar bicycle culture. In this country, sidecars are attached to standard bikes. The trishaws carry everything… from goods to passengers. They even make comfy spots for a bit of shut-eye.
