    Epic pictures. One of the best bicycle traveling videos i've ever seen. Perhaps Iohan GueorguievI want to see the world: The North can keep up with you. Rest in peace Iohan.

    One of the best bikepacking channels out there, similar to the legendary Iohan Gueorguiev. Amazing drone shots and focus on nature with really well fitting music. It’s so easy to get immersed in this kind of video and you finish the video feeling so relaxed. Really great stuff, keep it up.
    How do you edit and make videos when on the road ?

    These videos are so damn good! Im a big fan of bikepacking and DIY adventure documentaries and these are some of my favorites. I would say they're up near the top w/ the See the World series Iohan did. I notice some of the same aesthetics, spirit and even some of the same songs. These videos should have far more views and followers

    Amazing episode. Of course Elephants make all the difference for me. But also the loneliness of the dried up lake, the sandy track. Great navigation too.

    The starkness of Botswana has its own beauty. Watching I alternated between wanting to experience it and doubts that I would have been able to accomplish what you did. The big upside is, no hills.

    The drone compositions are great. (I hope dji are giving you some sponsorship). You have a good eye for it - and a good ear for the music. The landscapes, the people, cultures, wildlife, sunsets and sunrises and camping sites are so nicely captured and narrated. Really immersive videos, but in this one, the contrasts between the white sands and the vegetation looked particularly incredible. I just wish you wouldn’t ride one handed downhill while filming!

    You are an amazing story teller and editor ! Captivating us with beautifull (drone)shots of views no one will ever see otherwise! The elephant highway and 'the land of nothing' was sketchy. I was wondering whether you weren't in a shock when you saw this burried 4 wheel drive?
    Stunning!

    Niels, Was wondering where you had got to as hadn't seen one of your videos for quite some time. Can't understand why I missed this recent video when you posted it over a week ago. Glad yourare still with us. You are either very brave or completely mad. Respect to you. You are living life to full. Thanks for showing such beautiful places and scenery that I shall in all likelihood never visit. I don't think I could wild camp like you in the bush with all that big game roaming around.
    Why did your bike require a new rim? I thought it had disc brakes?
    All the best.

    • @cyclingaroundtheplanet
      @cyclingaroundtheplanet  2 роки тому

      My rim had a very big crack, which was going to break if I continued cycling with it. Nothing to do with the brakes. And yeah, I guess I'm a bit of both, brave and mad

    Nog steeds een super mooi avontuur! Ik geniet van je beelden. Was wel een beetje bezorgd, omdat er best een lange periode tussen de vorige video en deze zat! Het editten zal wel lastig zijn. Waar ben je op dit moment, want je was in oktober afgelopen jaar in Botswana? Ik kijk alweer uit naar de volgende, hartelijke groeten! Oh en een tip, neem een microfoon die je vast kunt maken aan je shirt. Dan is de video beter te verstaan!

    just curious, how much have you had to spend on bike maintanence? Like chains, cassettes etc. How many miles are you getting out of your drivetrain?

    • @cyclingaroundtheplanet
      @cyclingaroundtheplanet  2 роки тому

      I would guess a few hundred euros for maintenance (tires, brakes, cassettes, chains, etc) I guess I did about 5000km with a chain
