    Hi, I live in Caen and I'm a bikepack traveller, nice to see you cycling in my region. One of my favorite in France is " les châteaux de la Loire à vélo " a very pleasant and easy cycling path along the longest river of the country that I recomand you 😄

    What a wonderful video. That moment in the beginning, when you suddenly felt euphoric, and just so happy - I know that feeling - it's what you get when I set out on an adventure. Well done. It doesn't come cheap - it comes as a result of courage and a sense of adventure. You earned it girl. Stay safe.

    That 'cycle path' across the bridge definitely looks very dangerous, especially with the gradient and the narrowness of the path.
    Years ago, on vacation we crossed that bridge by car and I must say it even was intimidating inside the car (I remember turning around a corner and thinking: "We are going over thát?!"
    Wise decision you took there, but a pity there was no separated bike lane

    • @giantcheerio
      @giantcheerio  2 роки тому +4

      Yes that bridge is scarry and I'd never cross it again. I'd recommend taking a detour cause that was definitely way too dangerous!

  • @erwanlecorre7613
    @erwanlecorre7613 2 роки тому +2

    Hello, you can also cross the Seine on the Tancarville Bridge (10km) or on the Brotonne Bridge (20km) wich is safer.
    The safer way to cross the seine with a bicycles is to take one of the little ferrys who are near Rouen.
    It's a big problem from my point of view. The Normandy Bridge is not so old. When he was built people should have think about bicycles. Especially because France has a long tradition of cycling (for racing, for sport or for fun) and we claim to be a great country for tourism.

    Nearly 40 years ago my wife and I rode to Etretat. The wind was so strong that we took nine hours to cycle just 45 miles. I rode at the front, in first gear all day. I could have ridden in second, but every time I tried I would lose my wife who was sheltering in my slipstream. The wind was too loud to be able to hear each other, but the views were great.
