Today we have a special episode. We are talking about bicycle touring on continents around the world with Chris Berge.

Chris is a businessman with seven successful restaurants behind him, he was an elite cyclocross competitor, a chess player, and he is a traveler. His preferred method of traversing the world is by bicycle, and he has taken it around North America, across South America, along Patagonia, around the Scandinavian peninsula, Europe, and through parts of Africa.

We ran into Chris in Maine last year, as he was finishing his trip through Nova Scotia, New Foundland and Labrador. He spent two days on the boat with us traveling south along the coast of Maine.

Today, we talk with Chris about slow travel, why it is a better way to understand the world, and how it opens opportunities inaccessible when one is rushing about.
