- Cycling up and over the legendary Mount Nemrut in the Taurus mountains in the scorching heat of late June in Turkey was our toughest challenge yet. All along the way we enjoyed awe inspiring scenery, but that is nothing compared to what awaited us at the top!

I think the amazing part of your tour is the pair of you! Congratulations on reaching the summit of the mountain. Paul
That is very kind of you 😅
It certainly is the Amazing World Bike Tour
We could only hope it would turn out like it does 😉
I once did a bus tour in tourkey, so many amazing places. But i never heard about this place, really nice. Well done... "Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
Thanks a lot! Yes, even our two and half month were too short to visit all the places we had in mind. But that’s always a good reason to go back :)
You guys are awesome and inspiring! If it had been me there would have been a lot more swearing!!!
Well, thanks, but we can't keep the camera running all the time, so there is certainly more swearing involved. Still, nothing beats the high we get once we reached the top!
I've been following you guys. Seen all of it but somehow missed this one. You guys are beautiful legends. 😊
Awesome 👌 Yeah, UA-cam works in mysterious ways. Especially without notifications on, it is very easy to miss episodes.
Latest episode will release this Friday 😉
You. Are. AMAZING!!!! I hope one day, to do touring biking, with a girl friend. (Throwing that in the Universe....) At the age of 61, not a lot of chance to meet a lady crazy enough to travel by bike. Not being alone can really help getting through some difficult time on a trip like this. Sharing is a key word here. I did cross Canada last year, from Montreal to Vancouver, and it was really tough sometimes. Anyway, watching your videos make me want to get back on the roads next spring, wich is very soon, 3-4 months. Thanks for sharing. Paul from Québec, Canada
Dear Paul, Thank you and also for the ☕️
We'll keep our fingers crossed for your dream and hope you meet the right person for a huge journey. We think by now that traveling solo also has many benefits. On the other side, once you are on such a journey, you quickly enter this long distance cyclists bubble, and from time to time, share parts of the route and time.
All the best!
You guys are LEGENDS! Great job! I must say that I had a few laughs watching. I wasn't laughing at you.. I've been there myself. Your determination to get to the top is monumental. HUGE respect! ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you! It would be terrible if you wouldn't have a laugh while watching our videos ;-)
EPIC !!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
After every video you post, I watch videos or read blogs on how to get there. You are fuelling a sense of discovery in people.
Oh that is wonderful. We hope that this would be the case, thanks for letting us know!
Die Anstrengungen haben sich gelohnt, denn es ist ein magischer Platz. Wir haben sehr gute Erinnerungen an diesen Ort.
Servus! Alles klar bei euch? Ja Nemrut war definitiv ein magischer Ort! Seid ihr noch unterwegs?
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour Wir sind nach 1,5 Jahren Reise nun bereits wieder 1 Jahr Zuhause in der Schweiz und sind im alltäglichen Trott. Wir zehren nach wie vor von unserer Reise und freuen uns immer wieder auf neue Abenteuer mit unserem Bus. Das nächste Jahr steigen wir auf das Gravelbike um und machen einige längere Touren damit.
Wir wünschen euch weiterhin ganz schöne Erlebnisse und geniesst jeden Kilometer.
Vielen Dank! 😊 Wahnsinn wie die Zeit vergeht!
wow very interesting experience friend
It truly was! Glad you enjoyed the video!
certainly did@@AmazingWorldBikeTour
Amazing climb ! Bavo.
Yes, this is still one of our favorite views.
Love it you two! Beautiful scenery, way to capture it even when it was SO HOT and so challenging. Watching y'all take your bike down all those stairs... oof.
Thanks for appreciating :) It was really breathtaking 😂 Did you do also cross it all the way? Remember you taking almost the same route as us!
We actually came in from the other direction (from Kahta), and we didn't bike all the way to the top. We got in at like 10 pm, stayed at a hotel almost at the top and took a taxi in the morning to the site. (The benefit of being on a two month trip is that we didn't have to stick to as much of a budget... but the drawback was that we were short on time.) We walked up those stairs, so we were worried when you mentioned you might be going down them! But you did it! @@AmazingWorldBikeTour
Respect❤
Thank you 😊
Nice video! You are a couple of great adventurers! I like the way you face the situation when things become tough.😎
Thanks a lot! After all it's fun :)
Your absolute best video yet. The climb had me experiencing phantom struggles with you, and the walking descent looked extremely difficult with fully packed bikes. You're both amazing! It's funny to think back to Mathias' climbs early in the tour. Ha! --- I was concerned about your brakes for the descent from Mt. Nemrut, so was really pleased that you were able to hitch a ride to a well deserved rest. Wishing you cooler weather and tailwinds to Ani.
That is so nice to hear! We also like this one a lot. Thanks for the kind words. Unthinkable to try this just a few months earlier. We actually had to stop 3 times to cool the brakes on our way down. That was even steeper than the way up!
Fantastic 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
I had a long, hot ride with plenty of black flies just like this. It was during last summer while bike-packing through Michigan's upper peninsula. It made a great story, and feel so inspired to see people out there doing it. Just found this channel and will definitely be sticking around. Keep pushing and keep posting!
Yeah, those flies are nasty. Did they also bite you?
over and over again@@AmazingWorldBikeTour
You wouldn’t love south east Asia 😀
Production quality very high. Good story telling. Time went by very fast. Did I even have a commercial?
We are very glad you enjoyed it! Your words make us happy!
Hallo Arev and Matthias,
All I can say is:
😮 A M AZ I N G 😮
Your tour … the way you tell your story … your patience with the heat and steep inclines …
Looking forward to seeing your next episode.
Liebe Grüße von
KaterOnBike 😊
HERZLICHEN DANK!!!
You guys are amazing! ❤ Hence the name I guess😂. But seriously what an achievement you guys made. Congrats for making this extremely hard climb. I hope you enjoy your well deserved resting moment. But… don’t wait to long for your next episode😊
And above all, good luck and good health!🙏🏼
Thank you so much! We are working on the next one.
Please remember that all hillclimb should be done together, within talking distance, that way you can help each other up the hills.
Yes, usually we are within a few meters. We only split for short periods to take some shots of each other sometimes.
Oh the food footage made me so hungry…
We feel with you 🤤
You did great, both on the bikes and for the video! Respect.
Thank you, that means a lot!
You should wear long sleeve, white, polyesters tops. Reflect more light & reduce your body temp.
That is a good point. We never went for white cloths though because it is impossible for us to stay presentable in them. We just don't have the opportunity to wash them often enough 😅
But maybe we give it a shot one day, thanks for the tip!
Enjoyed the video very much.
In this video you increased the length of the video but you decreased the scope. It works great. You are climbing and climbing and we all feel the pain with you. And then you present us with this wonder of the world at the top that I have never heard of but should have. Makes you wonder how they got the statutes up there. Having experienced your climb on a bike with gears makes me ponder this question without you even asking.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you so much for the great observation and appreciation! We are always trying to find the best way of presenting each part of our journey we can think of. The next one will also be special.
Hello nice people, thank you for sharing all these beautiful images!!
I think you should make a better crank set to climb easier and not suffering so much..
My girlfriend's bike has three Plato 22-36cassette on a 26wheel
And me one Plato 32-51cassette on 29wheel and works super good at the steepest mountains..
I love the shots with your drone!!
Bonne courage!!!
Thanks for the kind feedback. By now we actually changed our crankset to 22-32-44 with a 36t cassette. Definitely better!
Impressive. You certainly have earned my respect! Thank you
Wow, thanks. This would have been impossible for us just a few months earlier. Most people can get there ;-)
Arev & Mathias, Wow, wow, wow! This was an absolutely amazing video! Penny and I loved it. We were groaning and suffering along with you. In fact, Penny thinks she had a calf cramp while watching. Amazing job, and the extended version video is fantastic. I can't wait to see what you might have in store for the Anzob Pass!!!
Haha. That is fantastic to hear. Thanks for sharing! We were a little anxious because of the length and cut it down as much as we were able to. Well, we have some more stories in store. Especially Iran and Central Asia will be big, we think! Right now working on the last episode from Turkey and that was a challenging time for us.
@@AmazingWorldBikeTour It is definitely not too long! Seeing such longer videos might cause some people not to watch - everyone else should get out the pop corn, make themselves comfortable and enjoy! Looking forward to the next videos!
This is truly amazing! I was suffering with Arev, so glad you made it - it seems to have been worth the struggle 👍
It definitely was. It was quite hard to shoot this, but we're so happy with the result 😅
