- We just entered Georgia, the beautiful and wild country, where we cycle up a rugged mountain pass and through the clouds. The drivers are bad, but the local cuisine is just what we need after hard days of cycling!

Very natural, down to earth delivery. All the best.
Thanks ☺️
Currently long distance cycling also and have just come across your channel. Your experiences are familiar and it brings a smile and a chuckle to watch your videos as you face the same challenges and joys that we have done. Love your videos😊
Great to hear that, especially from someone who is touring. We always strive to give the viewer a true sense of how we felt during a particular stretch. That is not always as easy and lighthearted, as you will know for sure 😉
Spectacular views and great energy from you guys! Food looked amazing too…
Thanks. Yeah, we felt really good in Georgia 🇬🇪 and it shows. Food there is among our top 5 world-wide!
You guys are the best examples of courage, love, & adventure.
Thank you, John!
"But we 're having fun!" - "Count the sheep!" - just 2 of many examples where you really made me laugh. Plus so many adorable views - thanks for sharing this amazing adventure with us!
Glad you enjoyed! Yes, Georgia is a great country except for the traffic 😅 We felt like some weight lifted from us shortly after crossing the border. It is so different from what we've seen the month before and we needed that change.
I have seen all of your videos hands down, this has been you best video to date.
Glad you liked it. Every video is a reflection of what and how we felt at the time, but of course we continue to improve our editing and filming skills every day, so thanks for the appreciation!
Another great video. Thank you very much. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks Kathy! Georgia part two is in the works 💪
The constant reminders of "having fun" is so important hahaha
We shall not forget 🤣
Love your films! Keep it up! 😊
Thanks 😻
great video . i really enjoyed watching it
Thank you very much. With an Iranian passport, it is comparably easy to visit Georgia 🇬🇪
This is so cool …kip on make more video
Thanks, we will do our best. Already working on the next episode!
I'm commenting so you guys have another comment on the list!! Loved the video ;)
You're the best!
What a great video, had us laughing from the beginning to the end, very nice video, you both should be very proud of this video
Thank you so much 😁 This was actually one of the easier edits, as we felt a lot of joy around the time.
Tremendous video
Thank you!
Beautiful.❤
Thank you! 😊
Looking forward to experience cycle touring in Georgia in a few months.
Awesome 👌 you have a route in mind already?
Great video :)
😃
Another great video I enjoyed very much. So good to see that even during tough rides and hard climbs to keep up your sense of humor. Well kinda😂
I’ll try to buy you another coffee! Hope it works more smoothly this time😉
Kind regards, Don (together with the family members a.k.a. Slow Moving Saddles) ❤
Thanks again, Don! Well, we try. But in retrospect it is almost always funny, especially with the experience we made in the meantime 😅
@@AmazingWorldBikeTourit worked in 1 go!❤ enjoy the coffee! Although it’s only a little bit I do hope it helps and improves your motivation 😊
Enjoyed video. Thanks
Our pleasure! Thanks for letting us know! We get a little worried if you don't comment 😅
I always watch and almost always comment but sometimes its from my other account
I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your videos, this one and the others!! My dream is to cycle from my home in Stockholm, Sweden to Yerevan and your content is a great source of inspiration for me. Keep up the good work (I hope there will be a video about Armenia soon? :D)
Thank you so much, Sara! Make your dream come true 😅 Stockholm Yerevan sounds lovely and is doable in a few months! Yes, there will be one more video of Georgia and we start with Armenia 😅
Another great episode!
Thank you 😊
There was a georgian man who traveled the world with only a bike. There are many stories where he almost died. The video just reminded me of him
Wow, we didn’t meet any cyclists in Georgia 🇬🇪
Well done guys, a Georgian here❤
Thanks. Our thoughts are with Georgia these days!
Now that was a worthwhile bike tour video!, plenty of shots of view's, a bit of comedy, interaction with a lovely old babushka, showed some villages and small city sights, some food and how to not to eat it and how to eat it properly like a local, mystery of the fog view's, light hearted and informative without judgement.
Glad you enjoyed it, but we never judged. When we speak about our emotions that is just how it is and we do our best to explain them to our viewers. We realise that it is much easier to enjoy content that is always lighthearted and fun, but we will never show a different experience than what we actually had. This can be fun, but it can also be frustrating and depressing.

They do not remove the catalysators because they contain valuable metals. They remove them because they drive old cars which catalysators doesn't work anymore and are clogged. The same as the DPF filters of the diesel cars. It is the same here in Bulgaria for most of the the older cars.
Interesting. That sounds legit as well. When we cycled through Germany we passed by someone who recycles cars, and he bragged about the money he makes from the catalytic converters, so maybe it is both?
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour it is true that there is a second market for catalysts and there are two parts of it. First is recycling catalysts of old cars which ends their life - for example 6 years ago I sold my old ford escort 1997 for 170 euro to a company that recycle old cars. They strip every valuable part that can be sold in used condition (and there is a market for such parts). Then separate the alimunum from the steel and send them for recycling. The catalysts are sold to other dealers for recycling of the platinum in it. This is the official market. The unofficial market consists of stolen catalysts. There are two cases - clogged catalysts of old cars which are directly sold for recycling - for example few years ago someone stole the catalyst of my current car, which is 2001. According my knowledge, the price for such catalyst is about 100 euro. No one here will remove his own catalyst for 100 euro, because it will cost more than this to replace it with something else. In my case - with some kind of replacement that doesn't do anything. It costed me about 180 euro. Why did I not replace it with a new catalyst? Because it costs something like 1000 euro (I bought my car for 1800 euro in 2016, freshly imported from Germany :) ) and there is a chance that it will be stolen again.
There is also a market of functioning catalysts stolen from new cars - they are much, much more expensive and they are not used for recycling, but are sold to people that want a real replacement for their stolen catalyst :))
And in theory one shouldn't be able to pass the annual technical check without catalyst and also they are supposed to measure exhaust gases, but in practice they don't pay attention at all. This is in Bulgaria and I really doubt that is too much different in Georgia or Armenia. Also it looks like there a lot of ladas and jigulis on the road - here in Bulgaria they are almost gone in the last 10-15 years. You can see some very very rarely.
Interesting. Yes, many of the imported cars here are 15+ years old.
In the countryside there is still plenty of Lada, especially in Armenia. The former corrupt prime minister made a shade deal and Armenia therefore became part of the Russian Economic Union. 🙄
Elesa says i missed you.
We miss you too! 🥰
Very nice video...i enjoy watching you both start fr german..now in turkey..have a safe journey n may god bless you both 👍👍👍
Thank you! 😃 Great things to come 😉
How do you guys charge your drone batteries? Can they be charged from a power bank?
No, unfortunately this is not possible with an DJI Air 2. However, we crashed it properly in the meantime. The replacement will probably be a Mini, which can be charged from 5V 2A.
Awesome video!
@@rachybeeboo Thank you ☺️
bribe driving license ? thats not true anymore lmao
We applaud the efforts Georgia has put in fighting corruption. Clearly there have been big improvements.
However, that does not change the fact that a large amount of drivers did not obtain their driving license passing actual theoretical and practical exams in the past. This is what is of interest to us, especially as cyclists.
The huge amount of reckless drivers was very notable, and there is an obvious connection.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour pls next time check proper information there are no briberys anymore in georgia. it makes us look bad.
❤😊🙋🇬🇪
