Lost, Found, and Still Biking
Mon Jan 26 2026
What started as a spontaneous one-year bike tour across the U.S. turned into a thirty-year odyssey for Bob and Claire Rogers. In this episode, they take us along for the ride through the Australian outback, the winds of Iceland, and everywhere in between. You'll hear how they navigated remote deserts with broken gear and relied on intuition to find their way through foreign lands, proving that a little humor and a lot of adaptability go a long way when you're living life on two wheels.
Beyond the logistics of long-distance cycling, Bob and Claire share heartfelt stories about the global community of travelers and the unique bonds formed through hosting others. It’s a beautiful look at how bike travel acts as a bridge between cultures, fostering resilience and curiosity at every turn, and how a bit of courage can take you where you least expect.
Catch up with Bob and Claire on their blog, New Bohemians.
