Your Bike Adventure Gear Hacks & What Cycling Through Africa is Like | Giacomo Turco
This week I’m sharing some awesome bike adventure gear hacks from those of you in the community.
I also have an update from Giacomo Turco, who is currently on a huge ride from Cape Town to Italy. Giacomo is updating us from Benin and sharing how the journey has been so far on his bikepacking adventure. He talks about the intensity of the trip, how each day comes with new experiences, and also challenges.
He describes the challenges of getting visas for countries, a crazy experience of being invited as a guest to a wedding, and also the scary moment of being assaulted while in Cameroon, and how it nearly made him stop the journey.
Giacomo also candidly discusses how despite the finish of his trip being almost a year away, he is already finding himself concerned with thoughts of dealing with post adventure blues.
You can follow Giacomo’s journey via his instagram page – @cycling.beyond and also find out more about his work on the Water Cycle.
