World Bicycle Tour Map: Cycling Around The World
World bicycle tour map showing where Garry spent each night, as he cycled around the world in 2011/12. Twelve months, 23 countries and 22,000 miles sat in the saddle.
Garry’s original route was to cycle through France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, China, Lao, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and then finally cycle across Australia to Brisbane. Unfortunately, as Garry was halfway across Turkey, the British Embassy in Iran was invaded by a crowd of Iranian protesters! And the British foreign office advised against all travel to Iran!
Unable to find another route, Garry decided to miss out on his journeys to Iran and Pakistan. Instead, he flew to India, where he would continue his journey East. You can find out more about this tour by visiting the World Bicycle Tour page.
