Our good friend Stephen Drew recently undertook an inspiring 2,000km cycling journey from Windhoek to Knysna, demonstrating remarkable resilience and adventure. After a motorbike accident in 2016 led to the amputation of his right leg above the knee, Stephen embraced cycling, progressing from indoor sessions to challenging races.

Stephen’s bikepacking tips for Namibia
- Ride to enjoy it rather than cover a set distance every day. What you lose in the early stages, you will make up later on. So don’t kill yourself trying to achieve a certain distance – you will go through pain anyway.
- One set of cycling clothes is enough. Wash your clothes in the shower and put them back on. This will cool you down and will dry soon enough in the heat.
- You need very little, but you do need food and water. Prioritize this above other things. We even stopped a vehicle with a Knysna number plate and offloaded non-essentials.
- Be open to what the journey offers: the friendship of strangers and appreciation of the small things in life.
