tilmann waldthaler is a voracious globetrotter born in 1942 in munich he s already rode across every continent and through 132 countries since 1996 he s been a vaude sponsoring partner thanks to his immense experience he s able to provide us with valuable ideas and feedback in the field of biking our products have to stand up to his thorough endurance tests and now he s setting out once again this time he s traveling 30,000 km from norway to new zealand 450,000 kilometers cycled not even a car is able to travel that distance what keeps your motor going nature and the people living in it are what help keep me going i find it fascinating to see how the people on this planet are transforming it into one gigantic anthill how they all use nature differently from country to country and from continent to continent and how they sometimes also harm it being able to experience this time and again is what both drives and challenges me at the same time it s safe to say that having the freedom to set out when and where i want to is an absolute privilege do you cycle without stopping or having a destination or are you approaching your own personal destination i m working on making things come full-circle my cycling life began in 1977 with a trip from new zealand to norway so for my last trip i plan to do it the other way around at the moment i m in turkey and plan to be in new zealand by the end of march 2012 that s over 30 years of cycling what s changed since your first trip in a lot of places nature is no longer as undisturbed and unspoiled as it once was that s certainly been a big change however it s still just as fascinating in its many facets today as it was back then i ve also noticed that i m more consciously aware of things around me because i look at things very closely and take more time at some locations especially if i know i might never ride by there again it s simply been another start to a new and unforgettable adventure if you had one wish ­ what law of nature would you be able to override the wind departing also means leaving ­ what do you like about that to me leaving also means being able to go home again i m lucky enough to be able to go home after every departure regardless of where my destination is some might say that i don t have any roots but i say that i ve planted my roots everywhere every bike tour i go on enriches my life ­ and every drop of sweat and departure is worth it you ve experienced a lot ­ but do you maybe have a moment that sticks out in your mind because it was so incredibly special or perhaps even strange i have a ton of memories a four month stay in antarctica meeting bob marley visiting indira gandhi in new delhi working with and for max von sydow and the swedish film institute earthquakes volcano eruptions in indonesia and new zealand an encounter with a sumatra tiger etc etc etc i could literally fill books with my memories you can read more about tilmann s adventures here www.tilmann.com
