Life at Bicycle Speed

55,000km of Freedom 🚲

Ever wondered what happens when you just... keep pedaling?

Rachel Yaseen does. She traded the "normal" life for a 55,000km journey across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Australian Outback.

From Denmark to Croatia and deep into the jungles of Thailand, she’s seen it all. We’re talking about the highs of community yoga in the park and the lows of recovering from a major crash in a foreign land. It’s a raw, beautiful look at what it’s like to live life at "bicycle speed."

What we chat about:

• Crossing continents and finding home wherever you park your bike
• Conquering one of Thailand’s most grueling (and rewarding) routes
• How kindness from strangers and fellow travelers makes the miles worth it
• Finding joy in simplicity, resilience, and human connection

Rachel’s story is packed with the inspiration you need to get rolling on your own bicycle tour, whether it's across town or cross-country!
