Radu Ticiu

I am a tech community and programming education facilitator in Timișoara/West Romania. Of course, I used to move around on two wheels as a child, but my cycling life restarted pretty recently, in 2018, when I had my driving license suspended for couple of months for a minor fault (note to self, find that policeman and pay him some beers!). Since then, my car is long term parked, as I started buying and using bikes for the daily job comute, for weekend rides with my lovely wife, Maria or for longer (200-300 kilometers) travels to honour speaking assignments in TEDx or other types of events.Currently, I am planning my first ultracycling experience, aiming to cover together with Maria a 3800 km riding from NordKapp in Norway to home. Pretty sure this will be just a beginning, so subsequent plans to ride from Timișoara to Southernmost point of continental Greece and to cover in one or two rides the Istanbul - Cabo de Roca distance are already in the back of my mind! Looking forward to meet you, my fellow passionate cyclers on this beautiful world's roads or to host you for a day or two via WarmShowers.com while you are traveling through West Romania.Ride on!
