Synopsis
Jacqui Webster had a stable career, a comfortable life, and absolutely no experience cycling across continents.
So when her partner Joe suggests riding bicycles from Morocco towards Asia, Jacqui’s first instinct is to say no. She is a professor in food policy, not an adventurer. But swept up in Joe’s optimism — and quietly longing for something more — she agrees to take a leap into the unknown.
It becomes the ride of a lifetime.
Over the next year, they pedal 18,000 kilometres through 30 countries, climbing mountain passes, sleeping in tiny villages, navigating chaotic borders, and relying on the kindness of strangers. They share meals with Berber families in Morocco, face bears in Bulgaria’s remote mountains, and push themselves far beyond what either thought possible.
But when visas are denied and borders suddenly close in Türkiye, the journey begins to unravel. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning everything, Jacqui wonders if the adventure has become a terrible mistake.
Then Africa changes everything.
From Rwanda’s green hills to Namibia’s vast deserts, Jacqui and Joe discover a side of the world — and themselves — they never expected to find. What begins as a cycling trip becomes a profound journey of resilience, connection, courage, and the extraordinary generosity of ordinary people.
Warm, honest, and deeply inspiring, this is a story about taking risks, embracing uncertainty, and discovering that the most meaningful adventures are the ones that change you from within.

Two Bugs on Bikes (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "I can't believe we're actually doing this!" I shouted, wheeling my heavily laden bicycle between motorbikes, horse-drawn carts piled high with dates and oranges, and stalls selling spices, ceramics, carpets and French pastries, as we weaved our way out of the bustling alleyways of Marrakesh. Jacqui Webster has always wanted to travel in Africa - she just never expected it would be on a bike! Inspired by her partner Joe's adventurous spirit she agrees to park her career as a professor working on food policy to accompany him on a cycling journey setting off from Morocco. They have a vague plan to travel east across Europe and Asia.Leaving their jobs behind for a year, they cycle 18,000 kilometres through 30 countries. Scaling the High Atlas, they stay with Berber families in Morocco, skirt the Sierra Nevada in Spain, brave the bears camping in the Rhodope mountains in Bulgaria and conquer the fifty hairpins over the highest pass in Slovenia. But their sense of purpose is completely lost in Tuerkiye, and Jacqui begins to wonder why on earth she agreed to this crazy adventure. Barely surviving the heat, they arrive in Istanbul to find they can't get visas for China. Land borders to Azerbaijan are also closed. They might have to give up. Instead, in a bold leap of faith, Jacqui and Joe make a dramatic U-turn and head for Africa. Starting in Kigali, Rwanda, they cross rivers, traverse deserts, dodge wild animals, and forge connections with people, all while heading towards Cape Town. Having tried to leave work behind, cycling through Africa exposes Jacqui to the harsh realities of people's lives in the face of increasing food insecurity compounded by climate change. It's a trial of resilience, forcing them to confront their futures. Inspired by her partner's adventurous spirit, Jacqui Webster takes a gap year from her work and sets out on a year-long journey.
