Chris Pountney set out to circumnavigate the planet by bicycle and boat, avoiding all motorised vehicles and aircraft.  When he was forced into a car on a border crossing, he started the circumnavigation again, eventually going around twice. Along the way he was joined by Dea Jacobson and they both join me for this podcast.  Chris has written two excellent books about this adventure, and I really do mean excellent.  That's why I tracked him down for a chat.
