Those who read the kvazibarki blog know about Oli Broom. The 29 -year-old “everyman” on a solo and unsupported bicycle life experience from London, UK to Brisbane, Australia. We met the Londoner in Budapest, Hungary and immediately started to follow him on his challenging 14 months bike journey and the unexpected (but cool) cricket games. Cycling to the Ashes motivated us to document/film this unique round-the-world bike tour. We decided to find people like us all over the world, who would film the project. We already had two helpers (co-directors, cameramen). One was Dragomir in Sofia. The other is Milo (aka Serpil Ulker) in Istanbul, who we met through the wonderful world of couch-surfing. We could not have found a better person, really!
Milo instantly shared our enthusiasm and started filming Oli, just like we did earlier in Budapest. She agreed with our concept that filming not perfect is far better than not filming at all, Milo took her camera and started directing and shooting the Cycling to Ashes documentary project. Wow! We thank Milo on a daily basis and encourage others to participate in our documentary. There are 10 more countries and almost a year to go! Check back for Istanbul videos in January.
