Around the world with The Bear
« on: March 24, 2020, 01:42:48 PM »


I came across this 35 part series of J Peter "the Bear" Thoeming's trip around the world - 40 years ago
and thought it may while away the time while we're unable to go for a ride...

... and still writes for it every month.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
