TAIWAN PEDAL.360
Ten stages. One thousand kilometres. Two Rhinos on bicycles circumnavigating Taiwan. The adventure continues — just with fewer cylinders.
ENTER EXPEDITION →EST. 2007 · TWO FRIENDS. MANY ROADS. ZERO REGRETS.
From the Mongolian steppe to the Saharan dunes — adventure travel documented honestly, with rust, dust, and occasional mild peril.
WHO ARE THE RUSTY RHINOS?
The Rusty Rhinos are a two-person adventure travel team — a pair of school friends who decided, back in 2007, that driving a battered car to Mongolia sounded like a reasonable thing to do.
Since then we've crossed deserts, navigated dodgy borders, bribed our way past checkpoints, and somehow made it home each time. These pages document all of it — the planning, the chaos, and the miles in between.
THE EXPEDITIONS
Ten stages. One thousand kilometres. Two Rhinos on bicycles circumnavigating Taiwan. The adventure continues — just with fewer cylinders.
ENTER EXPEDITION →Ten years on from Beijing, 5,061 miles from London to the Sahara and back — same dust, new stories, and the occasional unplanned detour.
ENTER EXPEDITION →8,100 miles. 10 countries. One 50-year-old car. — London to Beijing, where getting lost is half the point and strangers keep saving the day.
ENTER EXPEDITION →5,633 miles from London to the Western Sahara — but first, a broken engine in France, an extraordinary cast of rescuers, and a relaunch against the odds.
ENTER EXPEDITION →5,200 miles in 17 days — stuck on a beach, lost in the High Atlas, and navigating sand dunes in the dark with a snapped chassis. The 'tamer' trip that really wasn't.
ENTER EXPEDITION →6,000 miles in 24 days — half of them through the Sahara, alongside the Desert Bunnies and their rather more powerful Range Rover. The trip where you hesitate before eating a biscuit in case it has sand in it.
ENTER EXPEDITION →London to Ulan Baatar in 26 days — lost in the Kazakh desert, a car that shouldn't have got past the Dartford Crossing, and a policeman in the middle of nowhere threatening to deport us.
