    Damn, I started to think he abandoned his channel. Good to see they are still going!
    This channel inspired me to do my own world bike trip (in the future) and creating unforgettable videos. Seeing his enginuity once again getting this bike ready, reminded me of my big plans. I won't just put bags on a bike and go. I will supposedly construct my very own custom bike, which will be a combination of a recumbent trike and a pickup truck, yes you read right. Sitting in front in some kind of capsule that provides protection from the weather, and having a big bed in the back - literally a bed, combination of sleeping area and storage. The whole construction being made of aluminum, I want to be sleeping with a little bit of protection from animals and the like, which you don't have at all in a tent. I know, the whole construction will be ridiculously heavy, but on such a trip, you are not needing to get anywhere fast. Such a construction would come with unusual benefits, like a huge plain in the back, where you could spread out serious solar chargers, and power is always a concern on such an insane trip. Having watched his world trip, I got the serious wanderlust.

    Good to see you guys again.
    I did many tandem tours in the past, it is so much fun.
    Try a 30 degrees offset in the pedals (stoker 30 degrees ahead of the captain), that eliminates the dead point in the cranks and reduces the maximum torque on the Rohloff. Made our tandem more efficient.
    You only need to watch the pedals when leaning into turns.

We've toured all over in the US (of course), parts of Canada, a few islands in the Caribbean, NZ, more islands in the South Pacific and in Ireland. We're in our 70's now and, having the means, we have changed out the camping routine for hard roof stays in posh places where we can get a shower, get warm and a table cloth at dinner. But, still do tours from time to time. Be well.
