Ben Clark, a PR and partnerships professional in the wearable tech industry, is embarking on a 33-country and 35,000km solo bicycle tour around the world.
He aims to complete the trip within 24 months, before returning to the wearables and tech industry where he has previously held positions at Garmin, COROS, mymo, and CORE/greenteg.
Aptly named ‘worldbybike’, the expedition will feature diverse landscapes, cultures, and challenges, all supporting ANDYSMANCLUB, a UK mental health charity and men’s mental health support network.
The charity provides a safe space for men to come together, talk openly about their mental health struggles, and support one another through life’s challenges.
“I’ve always seen travel as more than just exploration; it’s a profound journey of self-discovery and growth,” said Ben Clark. “After countless adventures across Europe and the Americas, embarking on a solo cycling expedition around the globe felt like the ultimate challenge.
“Pairing this with supporting ANDYSMANCLUB, a charity close to my heart, not only allows me to push my limits but also sheds light on the crucial issue of mental health, and how exercise, particularly cycling can loosen that burden.
“Through this journey, I aim to inspire others to confront their challenges while raising essential funds for a cause that truly matters. And let’s not forget the added perk of indulging in guilt-free meals while experiencing the world in its raw, albeit sweaty, beauty.”
