The Santos Travelmaster has especially
been designed for the long distance cyclist. As such it has proven
itself to us during thousands of kilometers on several continents. As
cycle tourers it is our reliable and comfortable companion.
Traveling on a bike gets you in touch
with the real life of “the man in the street”, with all the
cheers, the little talks, the noises and fragrances belonging to it.
Quite different from the regular tourist. He just misses this contact
and only starts relating to the people at the moment he leaves his
secluded means of transport, at the place where we as cycle tourers
stop, take a break and relax.
Long distance cycling can also be a
meditative activity. During the ride, on the endless rithm of the continious pedal strokes, you perceive the landscape while your mind
goes its own way. Your thoughts travel through the entire universe
and enter deep into the inner self of the cyclist. It so happens
that, meditating like that, you suddenly realize that you again have
covered so many kilometers. And sometimes the Santos brings you to
the Buddha himself.
