Cycling to Asia: Arriving in Turkey (and fixing my broken tallbike) // Tall Bike Tour [Ep.13]

Part 2 (Bikepacking Turkey film) here:    • A Tallbike and a Stray Puppy: 2000km Acros...   A broken tallbike, a stray puppy and Istanbul's insane traffic... what could possibly go wrong? 🚴🏼‍♂️ 🐾 Join us as we arrive into Istanbul after three months of cycling, meet another tallbiker who helps us to whack, grind and weld the tallbike until it starts working again - and create a new home on wheels for Nova! This was officially the beginning of our journey through Asia, since Istanbul is situated both in Europe and Asia. 🌍 We had only planned to pass through Istanbul, but ended up staying more than 2 weeks in this chaotic yet vibrant city. With so much to explore, Istanbul became more than a pit stop - it was the biggest city we'd see for the next year and a half! 🏙️ ✨ ______________________________________________ ❓ In case you don’t know me yet: Hi!
