My idea was to head out on a great adventure, on a bike from Gothenburg, my native city in southwest Sweden, to Gibraltar on the southern edge of the Iberian Peninsula." With a fully loaded bike, weighing around 28 kilos, and a bunch of maps Erik set off towards Gibraltar. The only vital piece of information he carried with him, was that clearly drawn route on the maps. Together with a compass, the direction seemed clear enough. Yet, it was only when boarding the ferry between Sweden and Denmark he fully realized where he was heading. He was now living the dream, the dream of crossing six countries and travelling 5000 kilometers towards the edge of Europe, propelled by his own human power. "I am a romantic at heart; I truly believe so. The idea of propelling myself forward through the countries of Europe at a good pace, biking along fields, canals, villages and mountains was highly attractive. I wanted to bike in the dawn when the rays of the sun persistently try to reach the horizon and conquer the sky, and at times where the sun is at its zenith, and its 45 degrees. I would choose my own speed, and I would be in total control through all possible environments and landscapes. The only thing constant during this journey would be myself, and my bike. I would be a constant, in an ever-changing environment."
