Hello, my name is Frederick Marie, I am cycling around Africa. I want to tell you my bicycle tour and my complete bicycle touring gear.
I began in Johannesburg 3 months ago. From Johannesburg, I cycled to Mozambique, then Lesotho and from Lesotho to Port Elizabeth. I cycled the coast to Cape Town, and from Cape Town I cycled to Namibia along the western coast of South Africa.
I am now in Botswana and tomorrow I will cycle to Zambia, and after Zambia I will cycle to Malawi, then Tanzania. I will climb Kilimanjaro – not with a bicycle, for sure! I will go to Zanzibar, then afterwards I will return to the eastern part of Africa. I will go to Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda to see gorillas. From there I will go back to Kenya. I will cross the north west of Kenya and go to Ethiopia, and I will probably stop in Djibouti.
In 10 months, I think I will cycle 18,000 kilometres. Until now, I have cycled 4,500 kilometres.
My bicycle is just here. Now we can have a look at my complete bicycle touring gear.
The bicycle is made of aluminium, so it’s very light but it’s also very strong. The bike with all my luggage is around 50 kilos. I have everything I need to live for one year on my own. I have, for example, a filter – because I need a lot of water, and in many places, water is not good to drink. So I can filter it, and I can drink water from the river. We are very close to the Zambesi River, and it’s possible for me to drink water from the river. I have a stove to cook and I use gasoline – unleaded fuel – because it’s very easy to find everywhere in Africa. A tank, because in Namibia, for example, the distances were very big and sometimes I needed to cycle 300km – which means 2 days – with no access to water. So I have a 5 litre tank, plus 3 bottles. My stove – it’s a very small stove, which works with the gasoline.
A small GPS, just to check my position. Every day I use a map, and I prefer to use a map because if I use a GPS it means I have to charge it, and sometimes it’s not easy to find a place to charge the batteries. I have special tyres. They are supposed to last 15,000 kilometres with no punctures. But in 4,500 kilometres I have had maybe 10 punctures, because the bike is very heavy and the road was very bad. The wheels are also special, with 36 spokes. Because of all the luggage, the wheels have to be very strong.
To speak about my equipment, my clothes, I don’t have a lot, because clothes are very heavy. So I only have 2 t-shirts, 2 sweatshirts, a few pairs of shorts, cycling shorts, and 2 pairs of shoes – cycling shoes and normal shoes. In fact that’s it, because I don’t need more. I try to wash my clothes every week when water is not a problem. In Namibia, for example, water was a problem so I didn’t wash a lot. But when you travel alone it’s not a big problem, because if you are dirty, you can stay dirty for a long time. My legs are two colours because of the sun. I was badly burned in the first 3 weeks but it’s ok.
Photographic equipment, because I’m a photographer too. My front bag has a few cameras, my GoPro. I have a small compact camera, a very simple one, but it’s very good because in some places you can’t use a Reflex because it’s not very safe. So I have this one, a very simple but quite good camera. I have this Reflex with protection because of dust. It’s a very simple Canon 600D because it’s quite compact and I can put it in my bag. I have quite a big zoom. What is interesting is that it’s quite light and I can use just one lens in any condition. But I am a photographer so I also have 2 other lenses. I have a very simple Canon fixed lens.

Bike & Saddle Culinary Cycle
Our Cape Culinary Cycle is designed to delight those with a particular bend towards good food & company, fine dining and an unquenchable appetite for the best life has to offer the palate! Over ten days, pedal with us up Southern Africa's West Coast, starting in beautiful Cape Town before heading inland and finally ending in the heart of South Africa's Winelands. For people that love food, wine and cycling, we are your culinary and cycle concierge.
We take you on a cycle journey to some of the most spectacular mountain passes of the Cape Fold mountains, into at least one biosphere national park and coastal seafood mecca, before changing landscapes and discovering South Africa's best hidden foodie gem at the foot of the Swartberg mountains, surrounded by Olive tree plantations and the veld dotted with the proverbial fattened lamb.
Travelling through rolling verdant hills beneath a bright blue sky, the sweet aroma from nearby fruit orchards and vineyards wafting past as you cycle down picturesque back country roads, to winding and breathtaking mountain passes carved out over millennia, next to the foaming Atlantic, or in the heart of the Karoo in the Cape Fold Mountains, we take you out to find the region's award winning and hidden gastronomic gems. From boutique wineries to Karoo lamb and pickled olives to the West Coast oysters and lobsters, homemade cheeses and cured hams, we promise a delightful and unforgettable pairing of wine, food and activity unmatched under the African sun!
To top it all, we visit the finest wine estates this side of the equator on the final leg of the journey, and we bring you the experience of two of the region's best restaurants, Bosmans' at Grande Roche and Le Quartier Francais. You will meet the chefs who in their stride, have taken this continent by storm, drawing an international following - a star-studded ensemble of the best talent, all ready to guarantee you the experience of a lifetime.
No Bike & Saddle journey is complete without a in-depth introduction to the local lore and culture, its hidden gems and spectacular natural wonders, and this journey doesn't disappoint. Fresh seafood, best of the Karoo, and best the winelands has to offer, the road winds through a culinary delight of note.
Just the right amount of pedalling to ensure your appetite is recharged on a daily basis. Accommodation is luxury five star - as always!

Fun ride Joburg, South Africa
bicycle snack
Lohbado bolted a milk crate on a bike carrier above the back wheel of his bicycle and carried things in tote bags to maximize carrying capacity while riding about Montreal. A friend riveted a wooden fence on three sides of the milk crate, which is handy for carrying an extra jacket or whatever is necessary. On a typical bike ride, Lohbado brought a snack, a few bottles of water, a few books to read, plus camera, small tripod and field recorder. As Lohbado got old and ran out of steam, he learned to ride slowly and take plenty of rests.
