Keith Urban's Escape Together World Tour hits Canada this week and will cross the country from Alberta to Ontario. So during the trek, the singer-guitarist plans to do a bit of escaping by rolling down the expansive TransCanada Highway -- on his motorcycle!

Keith, who can be seen on his bike in the video for 'Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me,' says riding is a perfect way to clear his head. "Right now I've got a BMW, which is really more of a fully dressed touring bike," Keith tells the Winnipeg Sun.

When the open road calls, Keith plays it safe, of course, revealing that he always rides in a pack, "so there's safety in numbers."

And what's a motorbike man without his motorcycle mama? Keith says wife, Nicole Kidman, often joins him on his road trips. "I'm not a speed freak," Keith admits. "We both get on the bike. She's right behind me hanging on."

While fans might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the couple as they pass by on the bike, Keith's not concerned about such sightings causing the kind of mishap he was involved in in 2007, while being pursued by a photographer near his home in Sydney, Australia.

"That's the good thing about full-face helmets," he reasons.
