About Me

Leana Niemand: Hailing from the city of Cape Town, South Africa, Leana's journey into the world of cycling began with a bold decision. In 2005, driven by curiosity and adventure, she entered the Tour D'Afrique—a mountain bike race stretching from Cairo to Cape Town. With little cycling experience, Leana purchased a bicycle, flew to Cairo, and set out on a route that would take her the entire distance from Cairo to Cape Town. Returning home, Leana found that the rhythms of ordinary life could not compare to the freedom of the open road. The call of adventure proved irresistible, and in March 2007, she embarked on a journey that would evolve into a round-the-world cycling odyssey. Leana’s travels have taken her across Africa twice, through the Middle East, Europe, the UK, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Indian subcontinent, China, Southeast Asia, Australia and onto Ushuaia, Argentina, Central and North America.
