What kind of travel club demands that you visit a number of countries at least equal to your age? Welcome to the world of De Berejstes Klub (DBK), Denmark's "Travelers' Club.” Meet Claus Andersen, "the Biking Viking," a man on a decades-long quest to keep his coveted DBK membership card! Journey with him back to Russia during the 2018 World Cup, where a tense encounter with four masked men took a surprising turn towards friendship. Discover why, out of all the places he has cycled, Syria and Uganda stand out as unexpected top-five cycling paradises. We also delve into the kindness of strangers in unexpected places, including the tale of how a professional stunt cyclist in India led Claus to a man who ingeniously repaired his destroyed bike crank. However, a life of constant travel is not without its perils, as Claus shares a heart-stopping account of a run-in with a motorcycle in the chaotic traffic of Surabaya, Indonesia. Claus Andersen is a true citizen of the world, with a wealth of stories that will evoke laughter and inspire new destinations for your own next adventure on two wheels.
You can learn more about the Biking Viking's adventures on his website, Travelling Claus.
