Hi,
The title reads, Autour du monde en moto, but in the first sentence of the text we are told to use "à" moto which actually seems correct since a motorcycle is an individual mode of transportation. Maybe you could fix the title?

Bonjour Adrienne,
Thank you for your comment! The title has now been changed to "Autour du monde à moto".
L'Académie française recommends using 'à' with 'moto' as per the lesson content ("en" for means of transportation generally associated with things one ride inside of, i.e. plane, train, bus ; whilst "à" for means of transportation which one rides on, i.e. bicycle, motorbike).
And yet, it is possible to use 'en moto/ vélo' when talking about 'by the means of a transport':
See link here Figaro "à / en vélo".
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
For bikes (and I assume also for motorbikes) you can use either "à" or "en". I would expect that "en" were also accepted as correct for the first sentence.
