I’m joined by Heinz Stücke, the world’s most travelled cyclist, to reveal how a one-year bike trip became 51 years of cycling the world. This is part 1 of 2 from our conversations.

Huge thanks to Lizzie Jenkins who filmed our session. Check her out on insta - @Lizzie_Jenkins_Film

Listen If:

You love a good “how on earth did that happen?” travel story, you’re craving a nudge to shake up your routine, or you want to hear from someone who chose perpetual travel and adventure over the expected path in life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Start small, then keep going.
    Heinz didn’t set out to travel for 51 years, he just kept saying “yes” to the next road.
  • People make the journey.
    The most important aspect for Heinz were the encounters, kindness, and tiny moments he collected with people.
  • Movement clears the mind.
    For Heinz, cycling was his “yoga.”
