Border Crossing On A Bicycle

Crossing an international border is not always as straightforward as you might think! While many people are familiar with the idea of crossing an international border in a car, train or airplane, many people are unfamiliar with the act of riding a bicycle across the border of two neighboring countries. So, in today’s new Bicycle Touring Pro video/podcast, you’ll hear three funny, dangerous and scary stories from Darren Alff’s international border crossings on his bicycle touring adventures all around the world. The first story comes from the border of Ecuador and Colombia; The second story comes from the border of South Africa and Swaziland; And the third story comes from the border of Poland and Ukraine. While bicycle touring can be an incredibly fun, joyous and rewarding experience, sometimes things don’t always go to plan – as you will see in this audio/video podcast about border crossing on a bicycle [https://youtu.be/Rn-r5lxxoWA].
