Comprar James Benson-King un café

Hi, my name is James Benson-King, or for my cycling adventures 'The Biking Viking' and I'm from Bournemouth, UK. I am an Explorer, Event Speaker and Content Creator.

I recently returned from the trip of a lifetime, cycling 32,000km from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina, to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young. After completing the trip I managed to raise over £10,000! Since then I have supported my friend breaking a world handbike record in India and completed my first ultra race. I document all of this on my Instagram and Youtube channels.

These were all major challenges, physically, mentally and also financially. I have found my passion now which is inspiring others to push themselvesto see what they also can achieve. I am doing this through my social media channels which take a lot of time to edit and I upload for free!

If you enjoy my channels and want to help me continue to chase my passions. Then this is the place to do so! Regardless of the amount you donate you are helping me to share my passions via instagram adventures as well as supporting my Youtube channel.  

Thank you for supporting me on my adventures!!

James

ABOUT ME

Whilst travelling in 2017 I met a cycle tourist who convinced me to cycle tour as well and I immediately set my goals on Alaska to Argentina. I’ve always been passionate about staying active and keeping fit but never with bikes. It was then that I started to make sure I could survive the journey. Having dealt with a heart disease throughout my childhood, and lost a friend at university to one as well, I decided to also raise money for a charity called Cardiac Risk in the Young, whilst completing the challenge. I quit my job in May 2022 and set off to Alaska soon after! 2 years and 32,000km later in February 2024, I completed the challenge, raised over £10,000 for the charity and found my passion in life. Cycling and cycle touring. I truly believe there is no better way to see this world!

Today I am chasing my new found cycling passion as an adventurer, event speaker and content creator. I want to inspire others to push themselves as I have done as I don’t believe I am anything special. Anything is possible through grit and determination. I document my daily life and adventures on Instagram and Youtube. I am also speaking at events and conferences about my findings, taking part in some races around Europe and seeing where this journey takes me!
