In 1998 Alistair Matthew  found himself with a bike high up in the Bolivian Andes. He explored the mountains surrounding La Paz and found a ride he knew people would love - The World’s Most Dangerous Road. He found a couple more bikes and offered the ride to anyone who would listen, and soon enough it became the bike ride to do in South America. In this episode Alistair and Andy chat about pioneering adventure tourism in Bolivia, life and the importance of growing your skills on a bike.
