‘A modern day caravan, driven by feet, wheels and creativity’

(Caravan; a number of people traveling together; a moving company, to aid defense against bandits as well as helped to improve economies of scale in trade)

The Caravan Goal: To travel on bicycles the length of the French Western Seaboard, to the Spanish Border, sniffing out surf along the way. Towing carts laden with a variety of surf craft, paints, pens, cameras, paper and anything else which we can best use to capture and create a special journey in this unique part of the world.

The Caravan Ideals: – To respect the earth. We will ride, camp and live within our means, hoping to leave only laughter, good will, broken hearts and other bits of environmentally friendly debris behind.

– To respect the locals and their customs. We shall endeavor to communicate, to blend and to exist with the people on a level never before attempted from the swift and silent seat of a bicycle

- To prove that surf travel and cycling can co-exist together. We will surf, and we will cycle there to do it.

The Caravan: Our team consists of three full-timers, and a spare seat…

James Bowden; Photographer, surfer, aspiring vagabond and Co-Founder of the Caravan

George Foulds: Writer, Fighter, surfer and the Australian half of the Caravan

‘The Third Comrade’: An empty seat waiting to be filled. By invitation only, TBA

The Bourgeois Bicycle Caravan will be a revolutionary way in which we consider the Caravan – yet it will pay homage to past exploits, by remaining loyal to imagination, creation, adventure, sexiness, pride, patriotism, initiative, awareness of environment and the enjoyment of the road with our fellow man.
