    You don't have to spend hundreds to get a folding bike that you can use for an international cycle tour. Second hand folding bikes can be excellent value if you are prepared to do any repairs yourself! Small repairs and replacing any worn out parts can be done with simple tools and these light weight bikes can be stored easily in a cupboard or under a bed.

    This is the only channel that depicts these adventures realiatically. UA-cam is filled with gear junkiea that will pay more for a set of straps than what you payed for your whole bike.
    This is how my adventures been since I was a teenager. This is what adventures are. Hacks, tricks, improvisation. Cheap stuff. Keep up.

    I think I found my perfect YT channel. I taught myself bike mechanics so I didn't have to spend any money and have been doing up the cheapest bike at Halfords for 2 years. I've probably spent 3 times what it's worth but I've done it over a long time so it's different to dropping a grand in one go. These cheap, steel framed bikes from places like Halfords are perfect for touring. They weigh around 15KG but so do expensive touring bikes. They are strong and full of space for mounting stuff and can take a few holes from a drill. They also all use older parts that have existed for decades and so the wheels and parts are available almost anywhere on planet earth. Try and get a replacement for your carbon BS 20,000 dollar bike in an Indian village. Try and get some strange gear or band for your band driven rich person bike in Mongolia. Not happening. *** Your tip about recycling inner tubes and using them to tie gear onto the frame is really good! - I have a rear rack but it's still a good idea and I may try it with the front forks.***

    Lots of great info here and in your channel! I just backpacked NZ and SEA, paying for accommodation and transport was a big money burner. My next big trip will probably be France in a year or two, and my plan is to bike pack a la your Netherlands trip. Saves money, lets you see the real place, opens you up to opportunities you would never have just taking the train and hitting hostels. Big inspiration! Cheers from USA

    be sure to carry a cheap tarp to throw over the tent when it leaks, it's a little known fact but 5 euros tents are required by law to leak.

    It's great that you improvised a hobo fire. I'm worried about burning aluminum though. I'm concerned that I would inhale/ingest aluminum particles.

    • @hobocyclist
      @hobocyclist  6 місяців тому +1

      I think it’s tin or some other kind of metal, but yes it’s a concern. My biggest worry is breathing exhaust fumes from cars while I’m out riding! 🚲👍🌲😂🚙

      @@hobocyclist "tin cans" are actually made of steel these days. that's why they rust!
      a hobo stove from a larger can can be extremely effective! they hold the heat in, so wind doesn't blow the fire out. that makes a smaller fire viable, which is great because it's faster and also much safer and more discrete
