Why are we riding

Let us reintroduce ourselves, in case you missed it earlier – we are Soy and Dan.

Hey, we are Dan and Soy! We are embarking on a transformative journey, embracing a profound purpose as we cycle into diverse communities. This bicycle expedition goes beyond mere transportation; it symbolizes our deepest values—promoting well-being, fostering community bonds, and embracing environmental consciousness.

Our commitment to physical and mental well-being is exemplified through cycling, as we cherish every moment of the journey and connect with the communities we are fortunate to visit. By pedalling through these regions, we forge meaningful relationships, humbly learning from the people we encounter and reciprocally inspiring them to adopt an active lifestyle and prioritize personal health.

Beyond cycling, we extend our impact to remote communities through workshops encouraging creativity, self-expression, healthy self-esteem, and personal growth. Our dedication to positively impact the lives of young individuals knows no bounds, as we go the extra mile—both figuratively and literally—to reach those who do not receive opportunities so quickly and make a lasting difference.

Immersing ourselves fully in the communities we encounter, we choose a slow travel approach, valuing meaningful interactions with residents. This allows us to gain genuine insights into their needs, culture, and aspirations, fostering lasting connections built on trust. Such authenticity amplifies the impact of our workshops, creating a positive atmosphere that benefits everyone involved.

By choosing bicycles as our mode of transport, we actively reduce our carbon footprint, exemplifying our commitment to promoting eco-consciousness. Our journey becomes a powerful example, inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices and contribute to the well-being of our planet.

Our cycling adventure is not just a personal quest; it’s a testament to the transformational power of purposeful travel and the profound impact that can be achieved when core values are lived and shared with the world.

How are we going to travel

The path we have set upon, leading us inland North toward Broome, marks merely the beginning of our grand expedition traversing the vast expanse of Australia. Our intrepid journey involves hauling our circus and sound equipment on bicycles equipped with Panniers and trailers. We’ve crafted these circus essentials to be lightweight and collapsible, ensuring a snug fit within our limited storage.

In our quest for self-sufficiency, we have equipped ourselves with solar gear to power our electronics, granting us autonomy amidst the remotest of terrains. Adventurous days lie ahead, where we shall endure up to four days without a water source. But fret not; we have our own water supply and a water filtration system for opportune moments to collect water. We are well-prepared with an arsenal of repair tools, ready to tackle any challenges that may come our way.

To sustain ourselves nutritiously and affordably on this odyssey, we have gone the extra mile—dehydrating our food and cultivating microgreens. By acknowledging the challenges faced by remote communities, where access to affordable and nutritious food is scarce, we aim to exemplify the possibility of harmonizing self-reliance with healthy, cost-effective eating practices during our travels.

Together, we strive to showcase the essence of resilience and resourcefulness, revealing that even in the world’s most remote corners, embracing a life that thrives on self-sufficiency and wellness is possible.
