Two Years On A Bike by gestalten & Martijn Doolaard

Two Years On a Bike, From Vancouver to Patagonia

An epic intercontinental journey that will ignite your desire for adventure.

Can you live permanently on the road? With just a few bags strapped to your bike, a roadside dinner as your office, and an endless route from Canada to the south of Argentina as your home? In the coffee table book Two Years On a Bike, Martijn Doolaard tests this lifestyle. He packs his essentials and embarks on an adventure through desolate wildernesses, vibrant cities, and breathtaking landscapes, discovering what it means to feel at home anywhere in the world.

From the winding roads along the Californian coast, through the impenetrable jungles of Mexico, and over the high Andean passes to the rugged forests of Patagonia, Doolaard captures one of the most breathtaking and challenging routes in the world. His journey is about minimalism, perseverance, and the freedom of long-term travel.
