We Took Less-Traveled Roads To The Caucasus Mountains With Our 5-Year-Old Son Sitting In A Sidecar

After our sidecar trip to Europe in 2015, in Summer 2016 we decided to take the road less traveled and test our bike’s off-road capabilities, so we headed East, to the Caucasus, Georgia and Armenia.

Vladimir, our son, was five years old back then. Here’s the short story, in pictures.
