As the old saying goes "The best times in life are usually random, unplanned and completely spontaneous." Imagine waking-up one day and deciding to go on a two-day trip to nowhere using an E-bike? Read the full story first-hand from Breda himself...

When I was a primary school kid my mom used to send me to the store with a small amount of cash to buy one or two essential goods. For her, it was a favour, for me, it was the coolest adventure ever. Going on a mission, with a feeling of independence and the challenge of planning how to transport the groceries was exhilarating for my adventurous spirit.

Sadly, as we get bigger and our world smaller, these adventures become fewer, but that doesn't mean that the adventurous spirit ever fades away. It is alive and waiting for us to seize an opportunity to break into the world of challenges and uncertainty.

I recently crossed paths with an opportunity of the same magnitude as a grocery store adventure: I was once again pedalling through our neighbourhood, side-by-side with my brother, but not heading to the shop. No. We were heading into the wild.

Gear loaded onto the back of an Ebikes4Africa bicycle and my own bicycle fitted with a rack from our E-bike friends - we had enough bully-beef, tube patches, warm stuff and excitement with us to take on two days of cycling in the Khomas Hochland. We didn't know where we would sleep or where we would find our next water source, adding just enough danger to our very controlled adventure to make us feel like boys again.
