Born in Germany but happily rooted in Edinburgh for the past 16 years, Markus Stitz has made riding bikes his livelihood. He documents his rides that take him to all corners for the world for the purpose of films, photography and guidebooks.
He has had the privilege of exploring a wide variety of places all across the world, having cycled well over 100,000km (62,000 miles) - the equivalent of more than twice round the globe. His longest trip? A 34,000km singlespeed mountain bike journey that took him through 26 countries in just over 10 and a half months.
