Around the world by bike


Monterey – Yosemite – San Francisco

The plan was to cross the Central Valley, to visit Yosemite, drive across the Tioga pass to Mono Lake and to enjoy the solar eclipse in the Reno region. But things got a bit changed… Monterey – Los Banos In Marina (shortly after Monterey), we visited the local REI store (you get here everything for outdoor activities) in search for a tent for Ines (so that we would have two tents and more space therefor) and a gas bottle for […]


LA – Monterey: Some surprises

We are already crossing the Central Valley in the mean time. The last two weeks, we drove along the coast and had some health issues, unfortunately. Santa Maria – Pismo Beach From Santa Maria, we went back to the coast and could fully enjoy the head wind for the first time. And we will been told several times in the next few days, that we are driving in the wrong direction… Anyway, we reached Pismo Beach in the evening and […]

Santiago – Atlanta – Los Angeles After the adventure South America, I had to fly first to Atlanta and from there to Los Angeles. Luckily, my friend Mari helped me to transport my bike and the luggage to the airport on Sunday where I left it in storage for 24 hours. Muchas gracias, Mari! It […]


Bye, Bye South America, for now

However, because the volcano didn’t move at all, I decided to take the bus (23 hours) to the Atacama region. I planned initially to travel north from Santiago and I would have crossed this region on the way. This didn’t work out unfortunately but I now still got […]

Now we are already on the way to Santiago de Chile (by bus) und we are done with cycling for now. Michu will travel around with his family for the next few weeks and afterwards continuing towards north. I will go to Los Angeles mid of April and cycling north from there. But first we had a little problem with a volcano… Melipeuco – Conguillo – Curacautin Volcano Llaima was on alert level yellow, which meant that an eruption can […]


Entre Lagos – Villarrica – Melipeuco

We are already on the way to the volcano Llaima. Time is running! What happened so far: Entre Lagos – Puyehue We were on the way to Argentina and would pass bye the active volcano Puyehue. I wanted to visit it but it seemed that this wouldnt be that easy. I didnt really think about this anymore. Therefore it was a very nice surprise as it got possible on the camping in the Parque Puyehue. Read the report about this […]
