Announcement Trailer

First Chapter: Europe Launching July 10, 2025

The journey kicks off in the heart of Europe, cycling from Paris to Istanbul—not the quickest route, but the most breathtaking. They’ll follow scenic bike paths, weaving through villages and valleys, sometimes hopping on a train, a bus, or hitchhiking—all to stay close to the land and its people.

5 TH ADVENTURE

10-year global Project

Instead of one continuous tour, this project unfolds like a series of chapters—every two years, Milan and Muammer set off on a new 2–3 month expedition across a different continent. One bike journey at a time, they explore the world, meet its people, and collect stories that connect us all.

Every Ride Ends with a Dream

Every Chapter features Unexpected Challenges—Uncovered on Social Media and in Our Upcoming Film.
