Conor Murphy

Bikepacking is my meditation. It allows me to connect with myself and the land I am passing through in a way that I never thought was possible. I feel like I am learning so much every day. Whether it be about myself or the places I travel through. I always return home more at peace and connected with mission in life.

My first experience of bicycle travel was in Colombia. A dangerous and volatile place (or so people told me) where I spent 6 months travelling. But I found nothing but kindness and generosity in those Andean mountains. So many people stopped to chat with me, albeit slightly bewildered at the task I had undertaken, cycling from Cartegena in the north to Pasto in the South, a journey of 1500km. But I never felt threated or at risk. Luckily, I could speak the language which definitely helped. But also, I was off the beaten track, in amongst the true culture and I soon realised that the key to unlocking the true potential of a county, is by exploring it on two wheels.

So I returned home to the UK, trained as a guide and started my own company – Zero Carbon Adventures. For the past 5 years, We have been leading groups all over the UK and Europe. From lands end to John o Groats, London to Amsterdam and across the stunning mountains in Northern Spain. We guide people through unfamiliar territory and our goal is to showcase the best a country has to offer. The tiny villages, the local markets and beautiful countryside which most people miss. All whilst minimising our impact on the environment and maximising our experience.

We are a generation of explorers. We live in a time where global travel is so accessible we can hop on a plane and arrive in a completely different country within the same day. The problem is that we are forgetting about the journey in between.

Anna Glowinski

I have been cycling for as long as I can remember, it was always a fun family activity for me growing-up. From velodrome to cyclo-cross, MTB to road racing, I spent my childhood developing a passion for two-wheels. As an adult, I´ve been particularly attracted to the adrenaline side of bikes, pushing my limits on jumps, mountainsides and learning tricks, which led to my first TV role on ITV´s The Cycle Show and the lab rat who was sent to try out all the weird and wonderful (and often scary) things that cycling has to offer. I spent 5 years as a cycling TV and video presenter, exploring some of europe’s finest cycling locations and talking to some of the most amazing minds and bodies within this sport.
I believe that cycling is for everyone, it is an activity that is suitable for every personality and body type, you just need to find what is right for you. Long distance over-night adventures or a trip to the park with the kids, death defying feats or tandem trips for the visually impaired, cycling is and can be accessible to all. You just need to hear the right story or follow the right person to be inspired into spending more time in the saddle and having fun.
