About |
GlobeRiders® is a diversified motorcycle adventure touring and multi-media company founded by Helge Pedersen, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, USA. In the elite community of today’s global explorers, Helge stands at the pinnacle of achievement, having journeyed throughout the world for over ten years on his trusted BMW R80GS, visiting over 77 countries and covering over 250,000 miles in the process. He authored his experiences in the best seller “10 Years on 2 Wheels”. The journey continues today.
As an adventure touring company, GlobeRiders specializes in small-group, long-duration scenic and cultural motorcycle journeys to areas of the world neither easily accessible nor commonly visited by most. We cater to the experienced, self-sufficient rider who seeks a more challenging and unique experience, and wants to do it on his or her own machine.
As a multi-media company, GlobeRiders is the "vehicle" by which Helge shares his remarkable experiences with others. With the critical eye of the professional photographer and the fluid prose of a journalist, Helge captures the faces of those he has met, records vistas he alone has seen, and documents his multi-faceted experiences and hard-earned knowledge through pictures, words, and presentations.
Although best known for his beautifully photographed book "10 Years on 2 Wheels", Helge’s work has also graced the covers and pages of publications and periodicals the world over. Thousands have attended his travel adventure presentations. Others have benefited from his motorcycle travel clinics. Television and DVD audiences have vicariously traveled with GlobeRiders as participants in the World Tour from Shanghai to Munich in 2002, Iceland in 2005 and the Silk Road in 2007.
