  Profile

My name is Jozef Trabalka, I’m Slovak born during last millennium in Bratislava. They say, I have crossed the whole word on bike – but that is not true..		  
  I have only traveled through some countries from each continent, where the lay of the land has allowed it. So therefore I’m not even thinking about Antarctica… but they may be right about other thing – I’m pioneer of long distance biking expedition.

After first successful continent crossing from one coast to another, it was logically followed by other, more daring expeditions. You will learn more about them in next pages.
