Thanks! The handlebar bag is actually a custom one that Laura made for me. So are the jam jars. I'm very lucky 😊

There's some great bags out there though. I really like the buffalo bags

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It's a really great country to explore, and this coastal route was beautiful

Hi! We're lucky that there's two of us, so usually one of us stays with the bikes if we're shopping or something. But when we are both away from the bikes, we just lock them, and try keep them in sight. The only things we take with us from them are wallet and go pro

I use 1x gearing, with a 36tooth on the front, and 11-42 on the back. I find it low enough, and like not having a front derailleur.

Glad it was helpful! Yes, it's the sea to summit traveller, but they may have changed this model now because mine is rated to 1degree, and I think the new ones are 7degree. Really good size and comfort though

@weridebikesplaces Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi! Yes they're 700c. Getting tubes for them has been pretty easy everywhere, the only problem is sometimes they don't have the right diameter, as we use 50mm tyres. Tyres are always a bit of a problem as there's a shortage of schwalbe marathons everywhere, so we just need to order online and get delivered to somewhere

Glad it helped!

We don't have one, but if you google, four rivers route map, you will find plenty. We used Kakao maps, which is the Korean map app, when we were there, and it has all the bicycle routes on it

Was definitely an epic time!

Very fun!

Cheers! Cool, enjoy the ride, hopefully not too hot this time of year

The traffic was always pretty busy, but never fast, and always gave plenty of space as they are used to all sorts of things on the roads all the time, much like the rest of Asia. The road quality varies, from brand new, to absolutely terrible. So the actual ride quality isn't the best, but it's a fun place to ride due to the landscape, culture and people. Because of the population density there are so many small back roads to explore, or you can take one of about 3 highways of different busyness and quality on any route.

@@weridebikesplaces thx

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching. Some amazing trails out there. Same to you 🚲🙌😀

Awesome! Such a good route. How'd you like it? Glad we could give inspiration, that means a lot 😀

@@weridebikesplaces Amazing! such less traffic & so scenic, definitely doing more of it in the future :)

Love to hear it! We will be back in India soon for sure, one of our favourite countries of our whole trip.

@ do message if possible if you’ll come to mumbai, would love to host you guys

@@mohitjaisinghani3035 thanks will do!

The trails were definitely the best part. We met a few Europeans out there, but we are Aussies ourselves 🙂

Yep!

Hi! It's such a fun route, you'll love it. We took about 12 days which was pretty relaxed, it's not a challenging ride. The shelters weren't meant for tents, we just sied them, but I think lots of people do and it's not a problem, just set up at sunset. There are a couple campsites along the way too. Download Kakao maps, it's very helpful as Google maps doesn't really work there. I'm not sure about any rental companies in Busan but there probably are, I know there's a few in Seoul. We got the ferry to and from Fukuoka as well, it's really simple.

I wouldn't recommend Vietnam as a place to ride with small kids, or a trailer. The traffic is ok when you're on your bike and are aware, but it comes from all directions, especially in the cities

It's not always possible to avoid big streets

@@tihomirrhey! Here's a link to our komoot GPX, www.komoot.com/tour/1012684578?ref=atd And here is the Google maps coordinates to two of the best gravel roads we rode, both south of muscat 23.4813081, 58.6773834 23.251572, 58.836494 Also, if you look up Edge Cycling, which is just on the west of Dubai, they know all the best gravel routes around there. Have a great trip!

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it brought back some good memories. Haha, fuck yeah guy Bri! What a character!

We always forget to show more cooking, probably because it's quite embarrassing how much instant noodles we eat 😂

☺️ thank you!

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it.

@@tallahasseelassie4223 we enjoyed our visit too! Hope all's well with you ☺️

@@AdamTravelsTheWorld you too man! Hope the travels are still going well for you and somewhere that's not too cold!?

@ Yep in Florida now, it’s going amazing!

Nice! Florida has some great trails. Watch out for those gators bro!

Haha, it was a rare time that we passed on cheeseburgers, and we have eaten sooo many American snacks. Definitely a sugar overload here, especially when so many small towns only have dollar general as their supermarket, with no fruit and veg..

🙌

Thanks!

🙃

Laos is really hilly in the north, but not as much south of Vientiane. Yeah I think a beginner could probably do it, you would need to be able to ride about 60kms a day, in the heat. Thailand would be much more beginner friendly, as there are more places to stop for shade and cold drinks during the day, and more accommodation available

@@rickute1458 so much! Man it makes my mouth water thinking about it. We will be back there before too long 😀

@MariusMustermann-rk2lb thanks! We're on our way from New York to Mexico City now! We just got to Texas today 😀

@@IsmailK.S-x6h 👍

Hi Matt, thanks, glad your enjoying them! I don't have a list up yet, I'm going to do a full pack list video soon. But as for camera, I just use a GoPro, and edit the video on an app on my phone. So nothing special, try to keep it simple while we're on the road. Next video will be out in a week or so 👍

@@weridebikesplaces Cool! So to capture video where the camera is looking forward while you're riding, you just hold the GoPro on some kind of handheld stick? Or is it mounted on your bike somehow?

We do both. Sometimes just hold it in our hand, and will keep it in our pocket while we ride, which lets us film to the side and behind and stuff, and also we've got a mount that's screwed under our Garmin mount on the front, that's great for when there's lots of traffic or more technical riding

Hi, we took about 3 weeks to do this route, including days off. Here's a link to our komoot GPX: www.komoot.com/tour/1059025197?ref=atd

@@weridebikesplaces Thank you so much!

@@weridebikesplacesThree of us are doing this tour, starting this month 31/12/24. Your video is inspiring; I’ve downloaded your Komoot map, too. Thank you and ride on!

Awesome! You'll have the best time! Enjoy all the amazing food! The small stalls in the rural towns are the best, and the people are always so happy to meet you. So nice to hear our videos have inspired you ☺️

@@weridebikesplaces @weridebikesplaces Yes, your videos are inspiring. I've taken a Go Pro on tour, but I even found that too much, let alone shooting drone footage. You guys have put so much time into it; only those who do similar activities understand the recurring efforts involved. Your drone footage is stunning. We rode the mid-east coast of VN in 2023, from Siem Reap to Saigon in January 2024, and around the VN Mekong Delta in July 2024. I would love to do an extended tour like you guys; however, at 67, I am unsure how my body would hold up camping. As you know, Credit Card touring is affordable in SE Asia. It may be the option we must take, but I would prefer wild camping--surely the best experience. Best wishes and safe travels! 🚲🙂

Hi, thanks! Yeah, we rode straight out of don mueng airport, which was pretty easy. It might be a bit harder if you're landing at Suvarnabhumi, but they do have the SkyTrain, you'd have to check the bike rules for that.

We brought our own bikes. We did this ride as part of our round the cycle world trip

❤️🙏

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙂

Such a gem! Thank you, we loved it

Could definitely spend a long time exploring here! So much so we decided to extend our trip after new York and are currently riding south to Mexico City! Hope you enjoy the vid getting into NY, having some tech difficulties at the moment but it'll be ready in a few weeks

This route took us from west to east, as we were headed to the east coast of the USA, and the divide goes straight down south. We'll be back one day to do the divide I think, with much lighter set ups

So happy that you enjoyed the video! Indonesia is so beautiful, especially Lombok, and a great place to explore by bicycle. We hope to come back one day ❤️

Saya tunggu

No they definitely keep their distance from you, they didn't bother us at all. It was really nice having them around, they were actually really peaceful

We use komoot, as well as checking if there are any good trails in the area we are riding in. And if komoot is taking us on a lot of roads that look busy, we try check if there's better options with google maps street view if possible. We find it easiest to plan ahead for a week or so, then look closer at routes each day

Glad you enjoyed the video! 1- I'd definitely recommend bringing your own bike. I think it might be hard to rent a bike capable of doing this route and I'd want to take something that I'm used to and comfortable on. 2- I think it may be possible to only stay in accommodations, but maybe not by shortening the route, it could involve doing a couple longer days. There are accommodation options in some of the areas we camped, but other days camping was the only option unless riding a lot further. If you talk to the team at triple cats cycle shop in Chiang Mai, they will be able to help you customise the route to what you want best 👍

Thanks a lot for the quick answer and your advice - highly appreciated!

Thank you and that's so nice to hear! Glad you're enjoying the videos. To put them on planes we box them up in bike boxes we get from local bike shops, the ones that bikes come in when they are newly delivered. You'll have to take your front wheel and handle bars off to fit them in, and check the weight allowance for the airline you're flying. Some have better limits/are cheaper then others to add oversize baggage. Enjoy planning your first adventure!

@@weridebikesplaces thank you for your response, glad to hear bike boxing works well for international travels too, you have given me so many ideas! Cant wait!

Only that I think the west coast where we rode is much more enjoyable to cycle than the rest of India.. try cycle early in the morning because the heat can get pretty intense, and it's a beautiful part of the day anyway, take a water filter, so you can filter tap water and always but plastic bottles. other than that, just enjoy all the delicious food, and all the great interactions you'll have with the people there, be open to meeting lots of new people because you'll find yourself with a million new friends. It was an awesome trip
