RIDE THE WIND

The quiet of the road, the sheer peace of mind and some quality ‘me time’. Here’s why you'll crave that solo bike ride more and more

With close to three months of isolation and eons of hopelessness about future travel, everyone has been hoping for newer avenues to emerge #PostLockDown. Solo motorcycling could be an effective way to travel in the coming era. Hear it straight from the experts.

Solo Travel With Lois Pryce

British adventurer, travel writer, and founder of the Adventure Travel Film Festival, Lois Pryce has motorcycled from Alaska to Argentina, through the Sahara and Congo and Angola in Africa, and journeyed from Britain to Iran twice. Ask her how she hopes to go back to being an intrepid explorer after the pandemic, and Pryce asserts that the only way out is to be patient. She is relieved that many of the activities she enjoys about traveling— being outdoors and communing with nature—are still available to her in her native Britain.

The 47-year-old states that she has always believed in travelling in a lo-fi way since it forces one to connect with people and places more. Lois says, “For women, it is a truly liberating mode of transport. You do whatever the hell you like! It is small and light enough to explore almost anywhere and fast enough to get away from a situation if you need to.”
