    I think the use of an e-bike is awesome! You can make it as hard or as easy as you want, and it opens up activities like bikepacking to people who would otherwise be physically unable to do it on their own.

I'm 74 years, not decrepit, but i ride the trike to get out & enjoy life. Don't ever, ever, judge a person for a trike or an electric assist (or wheelchair) until you know why. Go Miranda........

Ebikes are motor bikes and traditional cycling has been infected by them, all these lazy feckers now claiming they are cyclists. No they are not, but they are cheats!

    I've cycle toured for years, rode most of Vietnam, Hanoi to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon), Melbourne to Sydney. First half of the Great Ocean Road. Tasmania's East Coast (a couple of times) I've also commuted all my life and owned more bikes than cars. Used to be a 100km (60 miles) a day on pretty much any terrain, so long as it was a msde road. (Single track's "a bit" harder, hey.)
    It makes my heart sing when others discover cycle touring. eBike or not, the open road on a bike is freaking golden. And that moment when camp is setup and your nomming dinner, watching the sun going down. Life can't get any better. ❤❤❤

    People should know they cut out the part where they had to put the bikes on a bus or van to get from the end of Discovery Bay (mud flats in the video) to 4 corners to continue the ride into Port Townsend. If she thought riding on that huge, wide shoulder was scary, she definitely didn't ride on the road for the section with no trail yet. Lots of volunteers are working on it and have been for many years. It has to go over very high, steep hills somehow.

    I have been very interested by bikepacking ever since I found out it was a thing... the joy you have for new experiences is so infectious, it makes me want to get out there and Do More Things more often. Frankly, Miranda, I would watch you watch paint dry. Keep on keeping on 💜

    Love it! As a strong road cyclist I'm "supposed" to hate ebikes, but I bloody love that you had this much fun on a bike. Who cares that it's an ebike this is what cycling is all about and you smashed a 90 mile ride impressive irrespective of the bike! Well done!

    Awesome trip.I’m so happy for you and that you are back. This was greatest trip - the alpaca, the biking, Miranda screaming bridgeeeee! And the burping. It not a true vlog without her screaming and her laugh (which is so infectious) . Bucket list trip for me

    Miranda makes me want to try ALL THE THINGS!! Thanks for including the falls, I take a tumble almost everytime I get on a bike 😅
    Also, shout-out to your producers! They've really stepped up their game with the drone footage! I'd also be interested to see how *they* travel with their gear sometime.

    I appreciate REI's videos where they can tell a story and show the products so much more than than most youtubers who are just hocking product with some half assed "content" thrown in and they're reading off cue cards provided by the manufacturer

    I absolutely ... LOVE this video! I think it is the BEST one I have seen from you to date! I MUST give this a try (except I think I will have to use a hammock instead of a tent). Thank you for the video and especially for showing the world how much FUN a person can have being in nature. As a 63 year old an Ebike means I WILL ride vs a standard bike (BTW - I commuted 10 miles a day for 25 years before retiring and getting an Ebike). Would LOVE to see more bike packing videos!!

    More biking please! I am 59 and bought my first E bike last Spring. I had the BEST Summer of my life! I live near Buffalo NY so no biking for me right now but I am counting the days for Spring to show up! My favorite place to ride is in our 68 thousand acre "Allegany State Park".
