• Bikepacking from Vietnam to Spain | Garbage Bag Boys

  Guests Luke Fowler and Sam Edder share what it's been like on their bikepacking adventure from Vietnam to Spain.  The two friends, better known as The Garbage Bag Boys  have certainly chosen to take on some of the most challenging routes. Their journey so far has taken them through the punchy Ha Giang Loop and almost broke them as they pushed headfirst into the punishing winds of the Gobi Desert. They've also taken on the Tian Shan Traverse and the Celestial Divide routes, as well as the Caucasas Crossing. I spoke to them while they were in Greece about to head into the final part of the journey.This trip has been full of adventures, from surviving a roof-ripping storm in a derelict shack to pushing their bikes through deep sand for hours on end, Luke and Sam share brutally honest stories of hardship, freedom, privilege, wild landscapes, and the lessons they’re gathering along the way.Together we talk about:Hitchhiking across IndiaHow two student paramedics decided to ride across the worldThe storm that tore the roof off their shelterThe emotional weight of travel, privilege & storytellingThe Gobi Desert and why it's a place they never want to ride againWhat brings meaning to long-term human-powered travelHow their perspectives have shifted along the journeyWhy discomfort is equal parts addictive and transformativeFollow their adventures via their instagram - @GarbageBagsBoysCheck out the Cycplus tiny e-Pumps and use the code STR for a 5% discount Support the showBuy me a coffee!
