Travelling by bicycle.

[Digital X]

Recently I have had the idea of getting a bicycyle, equipment etc and just travelling and see where I end up. I know due to corona at the moment would be a no go, but I was inspired by this guy who travelled across Australia, and since I haven't ridden since I was 16 I thought would be a fun, but risky idea.

Some parts may be planned via map or GPS, I've yet to decide or get any equipment but it's just a thought that popped into my head, and while I'm saving money and still young-ish (30) I may as well travel and explore while I can.

I realise this may come as a bit of "uhhh yeah might not work" kinda post, but I'm going to try, eventually.

Has anyone here got a bicycle and just decided to travel away from where you live, unplanned or not? What was the experience like?

Sorry if this is poorly worded I struggle with words.

It's worded fine by the way
I also struggle if you can see my signature
So the fact you broke your text up a bit helps
No reason you can't do it
Not sure I wouldn't plan it out first though
Look for cycle paths etc
Long time ago in Scotland I worked for a company that turned disused railway tracks into cycle paths
So to get to work I actually cycled the paths we were making
Really enjoyed it
If you want to do it and are fit enough to do it then go for it
If you intend a long journey you may even be able to raise some money for a charity
Guy owns my local chip shop has done
Lands end to John ogroats many times
And raised thousands
You don't have to go that far though lol
But yeah life's too short
Do what you want to while you can
