The Radavist

Cycling the World is an award-winning documentary about a solo female adventure around the world by bicycle.

Over four years, five continents, 28 countries, and 29,000 kilometers, McKenzie Barney rides through Africa, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. Beyond bikepacking, this self-documented film is an ode to living the life of our wildest dreams, one pedal rotation at a time.

McKenzie Barney is a writer, filmmaker, and public speaker.

She is now writing a book about the adventure.

We highlighted Czech Republic-based Mura Cycling in our Bespoked Dresden coverage. Mura makes cycling apparel for men and women using natural fibers and deadstock materials. The brand just announced these new cycling trousers with a lot of clever detailing. They have a built-in hip belt for ever-changing bellies and our favorite detail: a “Bike mode” closure on the right leg. There are four pockets and two loops to hang your tools in a durable 50/50 cotton/polyester ripstop weave.

This garment was made from dead stock material. The stock is therefore limited. THIS GARMENT IS MADE TO ORDER. The production time is 2-3 weeks until shipping.

Fauna Components is based in Vancouver, BC and is woman-owned. The brand launched with its stainless steel, adjustable Cargo Cage ($45), designed to last a lifetime. At just 52 g each, these cages are among the lightest on the market. Designed to last a lifetime, it’s laser-cut from 3 mm stainless steel, CNC-bent into shape, and then tumbled to a satin finish. With no anodizing to chip and no paint to wear through, it’ll stay looking sharp, trip after trip.

Unlike other cages that are stationary, the Fauna Components Cargo Cage allows you to adjust its mounting height. Got tall cargo bags that hit your downtube? See if you can mount them lower on your cargo bosses. Or perhaps your fork has off-center or misaligned bottle mounts? Adjust the mounting position to be nice and square. There’s even a removable stainless-steel foot; leave it off for an ultra-light setup.

The Fauna Components Cargo Cage is rated to carry 3 kg (6.6 lb) on even the most jostle-filled jaunts.
