Leana Niemand has ridden her bike in more countries than most people will ever visit. She started in South Africa seven years ago and as she says “..once you’re on the road, there’s just no reason to stop” Bike Touring News caught up with her in Boise last week and recorded our conversation to create the podcast which you can listen to by clicking the player icon at the bottom of this post.
We were impressed with Leana’s unassuming and relaxed demeanor and were a little surprised by her uncomplicated approach to touring. Hopefully we asked the questions other tourists and would be tourists might have about traveling in other countries and about what it’s like to travel alone. This episode is about 40 minutes long. By the time you read this I hope to have this and other podcasts in the iTunes directory so it will be easier to listen to on other devices. The iTunes podcast channel will be called “Bike Touring News Podcast”.

- This Tubus Logo rear carrier has been around the world!
