Welcome to Keep it Wheel – the blog for Nigel Tennant’s somewhat-planned bicycle trip from England back to his apartment in Japan.
I’m a bit late in getting this blog started – in fact I’m no longer in the U.K. – I arrived in Esbjerg, Denmark on the 24th May. The trip actually began on the 14th May in the south of England, but better late than never.
As fate and fortune permits, I’ll be updating this blog with stories, photos and drivel from my life on the road – so stay tuned!

Hey Nigel –
Way to go. Good start. We’re all watching for you here at D4Cs. Your bike looks really good – can definitely stand up for the trip. I’m following you on Google Maps too!
See you later,

Hi Nigel,
Graeme told us of your travel plans. How exciting! We are enjoying it and will continue to follow your progress. It’s great to be a part of your journey!
All the best,
Bob & Ellie
Hey Nigel,
The trip seems to be off to a fantastic start! Let me know when you’re gonna be rolling through Bucharest. We’ll be arriving there on the 17th of July. Thus far, we’re planning to stay in a hotel for a while. Hopefully, we’ll have our housing situation sorted by the time you get there.
Keep on pedaling!
