The Bike … A Passport to Pain or Ticket to Adventure?

Words and images by Dan Milner

“The most universally recognized means of mechanized transport on the planet, the bike has been my excuse to travel and make a living as an adventure photographer for three decades. In this recording of a slideshow, hosted by Cloud 9 Cycles in London and held live via Zoom to an audience across various continents in December 2020, I look at how such mountain bike trips in places such as Afghanistan and North Korea, have become a ticket to adventure… and at times a passport to pain.”

This is storied outdoor photographer Dan Milner’s life. Sit back, listen and watch. You won’t be disappointed. We’re honored to showcase it right here.
