Two Years on a Bike

Two Years on a Bike recounts the epic journey from Canada to Tierra del Fuego – almost 20,000 kilometres, powered solely by muscle power and a bicycle. Martijn Doolaard documents a life on the road: through the rugged coastline of California, the dense forests of Mexico and over the steep Andean passes to the tip of Argentina.

His photographs capture the beauty of the landscapes, but also the minimalist lifestyle of a cycling nomad who carries everything he needs in his saddle bags. A book about endurance, freedom and the question of what it means to feel at home in the world – and an inspiration for anyone dreaming of their own bikepacking adventures.
