Cameron is an Australian cyclist who has recently moved to Malta to further his studies in Geography.

Having lived in London for the past few years, he decided to make the trip to Malta by bicycle (plus a few boats along the way).

Pedalling 1,900 kilometres over a month on the road, Cameron's trip took him through five countries - UK, France, Switzerland, Italy and Malta - and a range of landscapes, from a 2,000-metre snowy pass in the Alps to the rugged, dry mountains of Sicily.

For him, this was a chance to escape the city life of London for a while before arriving in the city(ish) life of Malta, spending many nights wild camping along the way.

Luckily, the nature of bicycle travel meant that he didn't spend too much time in close contact with people, and it proved to be a great way to travel in a socially-distanced way.

Cameron’s story is just a beautiful example of cycling mobility in Malta, which the University of Malta’s Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development (ICCSD) is currently researching.

Members of the Institute have been instrumental in the installation of Active Travel Signage on the Msida campus, and in launching the Active Travel Plan, among many other initiatives.

PS: Since we’ve been working on this post, it has come to our attention that Cameron's bike was stolen from his home in Swieqi. If anyone recognises the Kona bike from the photos, please do get in contact via email.
