The journey begins!

Today is a big day in my life as I begin my cycling journey across the Middle East & Africa after a gap of almost three years since the last big trip. It feels surreal to hit the road again and leave everything behind despite all the doubts and uncertainties.

Adventurer by nature
Travelmaster 3+

Santos Rider Kamran, also known as KamranOnBike, is a Pakistani world cyclist. So far, he has cycled over 63,000 kilometers through 58 countries, and the count is still rising. Together with his Travelmaster 3+, he is now traveling from the Middle East to the south of Africa. He has not set himself a time limit but is guided mainly by nature and the inspiring people he meets along the way. That determines his route.

In the early 2000s, Kamran studied in Germany and then planned to cycle back to Pakistan one day. It took him ten years to actually do it. By now, cycling has become his way of life: “It is about leaving the materialistic world behind and becoming nothing. It is about embracing the unknown and discovering strength in vulnerability.”
