Cycling About. 12 Years of Full Time Bike Touring. Alee Denham
Jul 13, 2024 Season 2 Episode 80
Alee Denham

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a full time bicycle nomad? In this episode guest Alee Denham shares his experiences and insights of doing just that, having spent years cycling all around the world.

Alee speaks candidly about where he first got the idea travel by bicycle and his first short tour on the island of Borneo. Despite the challenging conditions he was hooked and before he knew it he was setting off on a 2.5 year tandem journey from Europe to Australia.  But that huge trip was just the start to what has become Alee's lifestyle as a self proclaimed bicycle nomad as his journeys have taken him all around the world, across 6 continents, visiting over 100 countries.

Alee's adventures will often lead him down the  most rugged of routes, spending months in any one country at a time, in order to fully appreciate its terrain, people, culture, and wildlife.   

Alee is also the face behind Cycling About - one of the  premier online resources when it comes to everything bicycle touring and bikepacking. From gear reviews, to adventure stories and insightful videos, chances are if you have a question about bicycle travel, Cycling About will contain the answer. 

Currently Alee is part way through what he predicts to be a 5 year journey, touring extensively across Africa with his partner Laura. You can follow his adventures online via:
