Biking Borders: Cycling Documentary
Enjoy some cycling escapism with this great documentary on Netflix. Released in 2019, Biking Borders follows the journey of Max and Nono as they pedal from Europe to Asia while raising money to build a school in Guatemala. On their travels, they pass through European nations including Greece, Macedonia and Turkey.
They were inspired to take this epic journey (over 15,000 km!) after learning that Guatemala has the highest illiteracy rates in Latin America. Prior to this, they had barely ridden at all. It just goes to show that anyone can be a cycling traveller!
Watching Biking Borders has inspired me to embark on my own self-guided cycling trip in Europe; although I'm thinking more along the lines of the Danube Cycle Path rather than their epic ride! William from UTracks.

While we at UTracks admire their dedication to bikepacking, we do like our creature comforts, such as having welcoming accommodation, a support hotline, and a daily shuttle service to transfer our bags (all benefits of travelling on a UTracks trip!).
