| Traveling since 2002 on bicycles around
the world provides unique opportunities to see and capture in
photography the rich layers of culture that make up the fabric of
the societies we visit. This journey is not a vacation and seldom easy
but we have learned how to adapt to the different
countries, customs, and ways of life we encounter. This learning
and personal growth can be experienced with us through our free to
download videos or movies. (see links below)
During the past several years, as we have
bike toured, I have posted over 10,000 still pictures on our web site (www.DownTheRoad.org).
It is not well known that we have also taken hours of DV video from exotic
countries filmed from the seat of a touring bicycle.
These movies are turned into short Video Postcards from the road and
released at regular intervals. These short bike movies
are about budget travel and the scenes that we pass slowly on our bicycles.

This is the first video released from a hour long interview with the
famous "Bike Tourist Podcast." The podcast consisted of the
interviewer Gabriele in Puerto Rico and us (Tim and Cindie Travis) while
we were passing through Canberra Australia. In this series of
videos I isolated individual questions and put still pictures into
corresponding parts of the interview. The question asked in this
short video is: "How did the pictures you took in South America
compare to what you saw first hand"?

Part 1: This two
part video is made from a radio interview between an Australian radio
station and Cindie Travis who was passing through while traveling around
the world on a bicycle. Photos and video were added to go along with the conversation.
Cindie is asked, "Where did you begin your bike trip? She describes
(with a map) the last five years of our around the world bicycle tour.
Then she is asked, "How all this continuous travel has changed you?
Do you ride all the time or take breaks and about bad weather?
Cindie's "I can" description has always made this video a favorite.
Part 2: In part
two of this radio interview Cindie Travis is asked to explain
DownTheRoad.org's future cycling and travel plan. Cindie is
also asked: Do you still enjoy riding your touring bicycle? How many kilometers
or miles have you ridden in the past five years? Do you meet many others traveling by bike?
Have you had any accidents or bicycle crashes? How many flat
tires, punctures, inner tubes, and tires have you gone through?

Our bicycle tour around Tasmania was exciting because of the unique
wildlife like Tasmanian Devils and platypus as well as the unpredictable weather
including
rain, strong winds, and snow. We enjoyed visiting Cradle Mountain,
Lake St. Clair and Mount Field National Parks.

During our around the world bicycle bike tour found a great place to
rest in Asia. This video is about a special bicycle touring home
stay for travelers in Southeast Asia, Malaysia. David's guesthouse
for cyclists in Parit Buntar, between Penang and the Cameron Highlands
is far from the backpacker and tourist trail but right in the middle of
real Malaysian culture. At David's we visited Chinese Buddhist and
Indian Hindu Temples and saw unique religious ceremonies. We also
attended the Chinese Ghost Festival and an Indian Wedding. If you
are going to South East Asia and Malaysia on a bicycle please look David
up at the web page in the video. He would love to hear from you.

Join us on our bike tour through Thailand. Along the way we saw
elephants, monkeys and temples. We also celebrated Songkran (Thai
New Year) in southern Thailand. Even though Thailand has countless
tourist and backpackers you will see that on a bicycle the road less
traveled is easy to find. Tim and Cindie Travis.

Cycling through Laos was educational because it taught us about the
inequalities in the world. In much of Southeast Asia,
poverty is the norm. As you watch this video we ride past
traditional houses with no source of clean drinking water or protection
from malaria carrying mosquitoes. Living in these impoverished
conditions did not stop the poor children from greeting us as we rode
by. Several scenes of this video
were filmed from the seat of my touring bike while I was riding one
handed and looking through the camera. To see the
complete story including current location, thousands of pictures and new
audio book can be found at their website,
