As technology marches us towards a brave new world it is now easier and easier to film your bicycle tour. In the good old days a telegram and postcard would keep those at home happy. Today filming gadgets, that were once reserved for men in lab coats in bond films, can now fit in your pocket and it’s possible to beam video footage to friends and family from all over the world.
Lights; Camera; Chopsticks; Action! – here are some videos from my days of eating and cycling the world.
