Today, myself and three other individuals (Alastair Humphreys, Tom Kevill-Davies and Kate Harris) launched a new website called the “Bicycle Travel Network.”

Tom, Al, Kate and myself all have a lot in common. We each run a website about bicycle touring and world travel… and each of us started traveling with our bikes at a very young age. Because of this, we decided to get together and collaborate on a project that would help other young people get their start in the world of bicycle travel.

The Bicycle Travel Network is the organization we created to help young adventurers get out and explore the world by bike. Our goal is to inspire, educate, fund, promote and consult with individuals and organizations who are interested in changing the way people travel by bike.

Over the next several months we will be posting new, unique and inspiring content to this new site… and (most exciting of all) we are going to be giving out several micro-scholarships to young people heading off on their first bicycle touring adventures. You can apply for the scholarships here.

Please head on over to www.bicycletravelnetwork.com and check out the new site. Let me know what you think… and please consider getting involved in any way you can.
