Welcome to TWO-WHEELS.org
This website was set up to share my adventures with the world, as well as to inspire others to ride off in their own adventure. There are of course numerous people who inspired me long before starting to plan this dream... and no I did not swap my bike for a camel as people may think in the picture above.
First of all let me introduce myself: hi, I am Alex. My biggest obsession in life the last few years, as you probably already guessed, has been travelling on two-wheels, the motorised version of course, i.e. the lazy one! I do commute on two wheels every day, more specifically on a bicycle. This website is dedicated on travelling on a motorbiek. My other obsession the last few years has been sport climbing, kite surfing and skiing.
There, I said it, I wrote it, now I just have to sit and wait for the time to come. If you want to join me just click here.
Before anyone complains about the hardship he/she might be going through from their evil boss let's all have a moment of silence in solitude for the following employees:
-employees made to eat roaches and wash it down with piss for underperformance (article here).
-19 employees commit suicide at French Telecom (may they rest in peace).
Favourite quotes
- you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough, Mae West
- it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years, Abraham Lincoln
- there is nothing absolutely in our power, except our own thoughts, Cartesius
- every place has beauty, but not everyone sees it, Confucius
- a 1000 mile journey starts from a single step, Confucius
- if you don't change direction you might end up where you are heading, Confucius
- when you talk you only repeat things you already know, when you listen you might learn something, Confucius
- living simply sets you free, by Eliud Kipchoge (marathon runner, record holder at under 2 hours)
- why conquer Everest? Because it is there, George Mallory
- I know one thing, that I know nothing", Plato said to be quoting Socrates
- Knowlege is what remains after you have forgotten everything you learnt at school, Albert Einstein
- I say "life is the most insidious prison of them all, Alan Moore
- Live in order to go away knowing more about life, Solon
We all wish that your dreams come true before the cruel world takes you out by Karoshi or other cruel means.
