Those who have been following our journey since the very beginning will know us as Dean and Nala, the faces behind 1bike1world. Well, the past few months have been a little different for us.
After another incredible time on the road, we returned to our hometown in Scotland to roll up our sleeves for a very busy winter behind the scenes.
A Winter of Hard Work at Home
While it may have looked quieter on social media, there has been anything but rest happening in Scotland. The festive season brought an amazing wave of Christmas orders from our wonderful community, and the whole 1bike1world team has been working very hard to carefully pack and post every single one. Your support over the holidays was nothing short of incredible and it directly helps us continue our mission.
Being home has also given us the rare opportunity to focus fully on building and launching the official NALA'S ARK charity website. This is a project that has been close to our hearts for a long time. Creating a dedicated online space allows us to share our rescue work, highlight the impact you are helping us make, and grow the NALA'S ARK community in a meaningful way.
Exciting New Product Launch
In support of NALA'S ARK, we are thrilled to introduce a collection of brand-new products, each one created with care and a personal touch.
Wooden Pin Badges
Our new wooden pin badges of the animals that we've rescued so far, are a small but meaningful way to show your support. Thoughtfully designed and easy to wear, they help spread the message of compassion for animals wherever you go.

Knitted Hats & Blankets
These beautiful knitted hats and blankets have been lovingly handmade by my sister Holly and my mum. Every stitch carries that special family warmth, making them more than just cosy additions for winter. They represent the heart behind everything we do.
Dean’s Wildlife Photography Prints
Over the years, I have captured breathtaking wildlife moments during my travels. From puffins to whales, these limited edition prints allow you to bring a piece of those adventures into your own home.
Every purchase from our shop helps support charities that are connected to the photographed animal and the wider mission to protect and care for our wildlife.
Back on the Road
And now for the part we’re most excited about…
This month, we will be getting back on the bike.
The open road is calling once again, and with it comes the spirit of adventure that first brought so many of us together. After months of planning, building, packing, posting, and creating, it’s finally time to ride.
Being back on the road means you can expect many more YouTube videos, behind the scenes moments from our travels, regular social media updates, animal encounters, rescue, unexpected adventures and updates on NALA'S ARK projects around the world.
The journey has always been about more than just cycling, it’s about connection. Connection to people, to places, and to animals in need. When I rescued Nala all those years ago, neither of us could have imagined how far that bond would travel or how many lives it would touch.
Thank You for Being Part of This Story
None of this would be possible without you.
Whether you’ve ordered from our 1bike1world shop, shared a post, watched a video, donated to Nala’s Ark, or simply followed along quietly, you are part of this community. You have helped turn one man and a stray kitten into a global story of compassion and hope.
As the time approaches, the excitement is building. The bike will be loaded. Nala will be ready in her front row seat (basket). Cameras will be charged. And a new chapter will begin.
We cannot wait to share the adventures with you. The challenges, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the incredible animal encounters still to come.
Here’s to new roads, new stories, and continuing this journey together.
