Hi JB,
This seems to be sooo much Info about Africa & cycling out there. I am Just starting partially Reading. Thank you so much for Sharing.
Would you be able to comment on these thoughts pls ?
: – does Africa need more used elsewhere disregarded Bikes ?
– if yes , what is roughly speaking , a typical Exchange equivalent / price for a working horse ? Possibly place of that rate aswell. Of course there must be All Type of Bikes, qualities nd therefore prices aswell….
Am referring to usable junkbike tht needs 3 hours TLC nd 15 Euros in Parts only but still would Go to metall scrapyard in Europe. Bikes tht cost € 500 about 15 yrs ago when new. Any idea ??
Thank u for your Page & Sharing !

Hi JB,
I just came across your blog and really amaze with your adventure.
Travelling is a way of learning. And your right, taking the hardest route always taught us differently
compared from usual one. Still on the road?
Never stop exploring.

Salut JB,
J’ai vu ton site gravé sur un panneau en haut d’une montagne en Namibie et je dis chapeau bas ! Moi j’étais en voiture et je peux dire qu’il avait du mal a monté la cote (dans le parc de Naukluft) et, étant cyclovoyageur occasionnel, je me suis juré de t’envoyé un petit mail a mon retour en France. C’est chose faite mais je crois que tu viens de finir ton périple.
Je reste en contact sur ton site qui est super bien fait et qui donne des idées de voyages !
Encore bravo.
Christophe.
Haha! Le fameux Boshua pass (blog post).
J’avais écrit ça au cas ou un autre cycliste ferait ce même choix de route pour gros bras, et c’est presque le cas 🙂
Mais le pire a vélo ça a plutôt été l’après-Boshua, j’ai l’impression d’avoir plus poussé que pédalé sur cette C28!
Bravo JB. Un cyclo de 67 ans de ST Aubin de médoc 33160. Bon moral, bon courage. Ce jour avec les copains cyclo nous avons fait 70 bornes dans le Médoc avec un froid intense + le vent…dur, dur, pour les Anciens. Tes images et commentaires sont dignes d’un grand reporter – Encore bravo JB. Félicitations.
Merci! Y’a de quoi hésiter entre le froid glacial et le four en plain air …
