Would you cycle 5,500 kilometers through Canada? Well Lennart Venus has.

Lennart is an adventurer who doesn't just bike across countries; he seeks out the forgotten and abandoned along the way. He's already cycled across Canada from north to south, and now he's embarked on a new journey across Europe with an ambitious goal: reaching Ukraine.

In this episode, I meet Lennart inside an abandoned mine in the Czech Republic to talk about what it takes to ride thousands of kilometers, why abandoned places call to him, and what drives someone to keep pedaling toward distant goals.
