About us


Travellers Renáta & Martin Stiller

Those at the top? That is us :-) My wife Renca from Frýdek-Místek and me, Martas from Broumov.

We accidentally met in 2008 thanks to an e-mail invitation to Travel-on-Bike Festival in Frydek. At that time Renca could hardly think of what all she could expect with me.

Although she was already quite used to biking, the real bike-travelling was beyond her existing experience. And that must have been changed! :-)

We started unconventionally when our first common bike-trip was also our bridal tour that should have also examined both of us together. Despite the trip profile was not easy and took us up and down in never-ending mountains, Renca did not let anything put her off our plans and with just a little bit of doubts she gave a nod to my crazy plan to travel across Middle and North America on our bikes.

I have been thinking of a bike crossing of America for several years. But it seemed as a big dream in the beginning. But one day I decided to realise this dream. And then preparation started and they took over 6 months.

Except for bike travelling we also like mountain trekking, walking in nature, observing wild animals and other creatures, and taking photos of what we see and visit.

Our motto for this bike trip is: “There is nowhere to rush so why to rush. Besides the look at the world from bike saddle is the most beautiful so let´s enjoy it!”

 
 
Renáta Stillerová
 
  Martin Stiller
 
Born in 1978 in Frydek-Mistek.

She likes various sports activities - mainly cycling and roller skating, but she also enjoys different indoor activities like swimming and fitness.

She likes very well many of music arts, dancing and she goes very often to concerts and theatre.

Travelling has always been a big attraction for her. She finds bike travelling an ideal way of travelling, very active and challenging and full of interesting situations and meetings.

Renata has already travelled on bike with her boyfriend Martin on the island Sardegna and in the Alps.

Renata prefers countries with sunny and warm climate, because camping when it is cold changes the adventure into a struggle. Before she met Martin, she visited more islands in Greece and Italy.

She cooperates with Martin on testing of the products of the prominent Czech producers of sports equipment, e.g. TILAK, JUREK S+R, YATE, JOTA and other foreign companies, e.g. ORTLIEB, ISOSTAR, MEINDL, VERTEC, LIMAR, TERMOVEL etc..
  Born in 1980, graduated from Tourism at VŠB-TU Ostrava and then Management and Marketing at UTB Zlín.

Martin was born and grew up in Broumov, in the area of the sand stone rocks. At present, he is living in Frýdek-Místek, in the Beskydy region, and working in Vienna.
He has acquired a certificate of a mountain guide and is also a certified tour guide. He is a very active alpine hiker and especially bike traveller. He is a member of the Czech traveller club.

He has cycled through a big part of Europe. In the summer 2001, he undertook a hard bike expedition “Across Europe from the Czech Republic to Africa” – 5750 km via 10 states and 2 continents. The second big bike trip was "Across Australia on the bike" - 9320 km from Perth to Sydney. He biked up also over 60 mountain passes, e.g. Passo dello Stelvio 2758 m, Timmelsjoch 2509 m, Edelweisspitze 2571 and others. With his girlfriend, they managed to reach the alpine chalet Pirovano in 3050m on the fully laden bikes.

Bike travelling has become his passion and led him to the creation of purely bike-travelling festival “Cyklocestování” held traditionally in Frýdek-Místek (more about the festival at www.cyklocestovani.cz).

Though very young, he has already travelled across more than 30 countries and this is by all means not the end of his travelling plans. Travelling has become his addiction and joy, which he intends to pursue in the future.

He works as a guide for a travel agency “TURISTIKA A HORY”, e.g. in Wallis and Julian Alps, Dachstein range, Ukraine, Norway, Iceland and also Kenya.

His hobby is getting to know new countries, sport and he also likes taking photographs. He prepares slideshows from his travels and expeditions, which he has been presenting with a big public acceptance for several years in schools, libraries, museums or other cultural organizations throughout the whole Czech Republic (all the details about his slideshows can be found at www.cyklocestovani.cz). He has also been performing regularly at various travel festivals and sports fairs.

Occasionally, he publishes his articles in sports, travel or outdoor magazines. His articles also appear in the dailies, regional magazines etc. From time to time, he talks on the Czech radio.

He cooperates with and tests the products of the prominent Czech producers of sports equipment, e.g. TILAK, JUREK S+R, YATE, JOTA and other foreign companies, e.g. ORTLIEB, ISOSTAR, MEINDL, VERTEC, LIMAR, TERMOVEL etc..
