Unterberg

Podgora (=Under a Mountain) where I live doesn't have to do anything with mountains. There is a smaller hill near me that is enough for maintaining condition and relaxation because you don't meet anyone there.

Faster speed

In the year 2010 I changed the way of traveling. I bought a travel bike. I was planning cycling over Iceland but I had to reschedule it. Mostly because of my job and not because of the volcano dust.

On my longer trips, several reporters and journalists have accompanied me even from other countries. Some reporters waited for me on the tours. I had to choose a place that I haven't visited in my life for a meeting with the ZürichSee newspaper reporter in advance. I briefly guessed when I'm going to be there. I was only a couple minutes late. Nowadays when everybody has a smartphone that would have been much easier. I tried avoiding meetings like that as much as I could. Once a journalist was angry at me because I was late only a few minutes late, and that at 100 kilometers on foot. That is why I completed the interviews on the go, over the phone or after the tours.

Radio
I was invited to many radio stations as a guest. When I was walking from Carinthia to Metlika along the Slovenian-Croatian border a reporter in Klagenfurt asked me: »How did you get here from Ljubljana?« and I answered: »Well, on foot!«

After Party
Cycling tourism is a theme that I was lecturing at the Higher Vocational College for Hospitality and Tourism Bled.

On The Slovenian Asphalt Pavement Association meeting, I presented Cycling + Road: How cyclists see and feel the roads?

I created this bike travel web page because I wanted to capture, digitalize and keep my tours in one place. All banners, logos, graphics and the shape of the web page is my own work (of course, who's would it be?). My son Aleks translated the reportages to English. Some pages are translated in German.
