Bike further, eat closer
Two Canadian women with a global vision: a world with more bikes, less cars, local and accessible food, filled with happy, healthy beings. In the spirit of this vision we are embarking on a 30,000 km bicycle quest from Victoria, BC to Buenos Aires, Argentina and back. We will be following a 100-mile diet for the duration of our trip, meaning we aim to consume only foods sourced from within 100 miles of where we purchase it.
