My name is Adam Kolarski. I have been cycling around the world for over 20 years. I started with tourist expeditions with panniers. And basically, sticking to this loose bikepacking convention and taking the direction of the so-called ‘Romantic Cycling’, I am still successively traveling kilometers on two wheels in more and more interesting parts of the world. I love mountains and every summer months I try to spend somewhere between the Alps, the Dolomites and Tyrol. I share my passion for cycling by showing interesting and exotic places through photography (my second main passion). In my head I have a lot of ideas for subsequent cyclo-projects and destinations.

 

 

Nazywam się Adam Kolarski. Na rowerze po świecie kręcę się od przeszło 20 lat. Zaczynałem od turystycznych wypraw z sakwami. I w zasadzie, trzymając się tej luźnej konwencji bikepackingowej oraz obierając kierunek tzw. ‘kolarstwa romantycznego’, nadal sukcesywnie przemierzam kilometry na dwóch kółkach w coraz to ciekawszych zakątkach świata. Kocham góry i każde letnie miesiące staram się spędzać gdzieś pomiędzy Alpami, Dolomitami oraz Tyrolem. Swoją pasją do kolarstwa dzielę się z innymi, pokazując poprzez fotografię (moje drugie główne zainteresowanie) ciekawe i egzotyczne miejsca. W głowie mam mnóstwo pomysłów na kolejne cyklo-projekty i destynacje.
