Join me on a lunchtime ride as I cycle around the London borough of Bexley!
Although I cycle down many dead ends, this serves an important purpose. I am competing in monthly, annual and lifetime challenges with other keen cyclists using https://wandrer.earth.
Wandrer is an app that encourages you to cycle down roads you have never cycled before. It tracks your progress on the “Big Map” and allows you to compete with other cyclists in your local area to see who has ridden the most roads. 🛣️
Wandrer has given me a new sense of purpose on my bike and I find myself craving new roads to cycle down. 🚵♂️
This video gives a sneak peek of one of my outings.
How many new roads do I ride down? 🛣️
How many dead ends do I hit? 🧱
Is this ride eventful? 🚳
Watch the video to find out.
Make sure you watch to the end so you can see my overall progress in Bexley and where I am on the leaderboard.
