The Cycle Travel Overload Story
Built by a bike traveler, for bike travelers.
Cycle Travel Overload was born not from a business plan – but from a deep, soul-level calling. I’m Codey Orgill, and for over 13 years, I’ve been telling stories from the saddle – pedaling across continents, documenting raw moments of transformation, and connecting with people and landscapes in the most honest way I know: by bicycle.
What started as a YouTube channel and a humble blog evolved into a global community of adventure cyclists, dreamers, and doers. This isn’t just a gear review site. It’s a rider-first media brand – a living archive of real-world-tested bikes and gear, trip reports, interviews with fellow bike travelers, and practical guides to help you ride further, deeper, and more freely.
After losing it all – from a six-figure business to my sense of direction – Cycle Travel Overload became my anchor. A reminder that even when the algorithm wipes you out, the truth of the road remains. That’s what this platform is about now: rebuilding with authenticity, sharing the stories that matter, and helping others navigate the beautifully rugged path of life on two wheels.
This is more than a website. It’s a movement of modern adventurers reclaiming simplicity, sovereignty, and a sense of awe.
So if you’re here to be inspired, find your next bike, or just read stories that make you feel more alive—you’re in the right place.
Let’s ride.

Adventure Inspiration!
The bike tour across the USA marked my initial foray into international adventure and resulted in the most significant personal growth I’ve ever experienced. Embracing the unknown with open arms, I embarked on a journey that proved to be a rewarding gamble, enriching my life with a tapestry of indelible memories.
Japan was a transformative experience. The shift within me was profound, and while I can’t pinpoint whether it was the relentless pedaling, the challenges faced, or the commitment to daily vlogging that sparked this change, the impact was undeniable.
Pedaling 3500 kilometers from Melbourne to Cairns over 54 exhilarating days was a standout experience in my cycling adventures across Australia.
Exploring New Zealand by bike is an unforgettable experience and a must-add to any cyclist’s bucket list.
We pedaled our way from France through the scenic expanses of Northern UK and into the lush landscapes of Ireland for a European cycling adventure. The true homeland of bicycle touring!
