Paved roads on planet Earth
A few weeks ago my friends and I decided to ride around the world (in a few years). I’m just in the beginning of my research right now and I’m trying to figure out if we can actually do this trip on regular sport-touring bikes. I’m thinking that there has to be a paved road that can get us in and out of most counties. Europe for sure, but what about the rest of the world?
Does riding around the world mean that you have to get a dual-sport bike? Problem is three of the four riders that want to do this trip are short and there isn’t a lot of dual-sports that we can reach the ground on.
There is that guy that rode the R1 around the world? He did it on a sportbike, of course he rode across the desert with that thing and I’m not that nutty.
So my question is, can North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa… can a ride like that be done on a regular sport-touring bike? Is there enough paved roads to get us around this planet?
