Why we Cycle

- In this video we explore what makes us want to cycle - and encourage you to start your own bicycle tour. It's possible!
Back in June and July of 2018, my girlfriend Belén and I cycled the famed 'Pamir Highway', through Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. During our trip we met a tremendous amount of cyclists, who all had different reasons to be out there, and it inspired us to create this short film, highlighting why we cycle.
Music by James Everingham, legend! www.jameseveringham.com
Special thanks to all the cyclists who told us their reasons for being on the saddle - for the complete version of all the interviews, watch • Why do You Cycle?

I’m 62. I do it because it reminds me of my younger days and I feel more alive and in touch with who I am !
This video is beautiful ❤️ I cycle everyday for so many reasons, but the most important one is if i dont cycle, i dont feel like myself... This video touched my heart.. Thank you Guys ❤️
There's something about a journey that you undertake, be it on foot or by bike, that feels magical. That sense of freedom and achievement that is hard to find in other modes of transport. Feels natural and liberating.
This video is sooooo amazing! - Staying at my desk will now be really hard for the rest of this day. Don't be surprised to see me on my bike very soon.
Did I see you cycling by my window today? ;)
A friend asked me to send him some motivational footage to start cycling again - THIS IS PERFECT AND EPIC!
Thank you and keep pedaling :)
Love all the words from people on the road! Congrats guys.
Thank you for capturing the reasons why we cycle in such an inspiring way. It made me think of an answer that resumes why I cycle: because I love life ❤
Olha quem é ele!
I ride beacuse I feel to belong to the road, this is my home and sanctuary...
That's how i feel too.
What a fantastic video.... I’ve just bought my first road bike and I can’t wait to get started.... thank you for sharing !!! ❤️
I,m speechless... So Beautiful and inspiring!
Congratulations, Tristan! This is a beautiful video with a beautiful message, aside beautiful photography and great editing as usual. Love what you are doing!
Beautiful. Glad you're back Tristan.
Truly inspiring!
Awesome video. Simple but beautiful. Captures why we cycle perfectly.
I've always loved cycling. I do it every day by commuting to work all year round, even in winter. I love bicycle touring and have done two tours so far in Poland. Soon I hope to tour Norway, I've already planned the route. I love cycling because it's the best way to see the world - fast enough to call it travelling and slow enough to see all the amazing landscapes. It's cheap, it's eco, you can enter national parks and nature reserves (and I LOVE nature) and you can stop anywhere to rest or take a photo (no need to look for parking place). It keeps you fit and you meet people. All these above advantages are inaccessible by car. Greetings from Poland!
Greetings back to you in Poland and happy trails for your Norwegian ride - we cannot recommend riding in Norway enough! Keep on riding.
@@tristanbogaard I will definitely keep on riding my bike. You're both a great inspiration to me. I just wish I had started touring earlier, before starting family. Now having many commitments it's not that easy. See my first tour in North East Poland: ua-cam.com/video/G4QZkbXreDk/v-deo.html Best wishes!
I've just started cycling last week. Hope will explore my own country by cycling. Thanks for encouraging me and us to have more cycling 🙏
Amazing video and truly inspiring for a lot of people! Just take the bicycle and ride!
Beautiful!
Thank you Tristan for that video. Exactly, that's the reason why I/we travel this way. Please continue.....
Humble and inspiring piece of inspiration! Well done guys, both thumbs up!
Found this video literally after I upload my version of why I cycle around places in the city I live in. I haven't cycled throughout Europe yet but have done quite a few such as Cambodia & Borneo (malaysia part). Glad to see different faces in this video, reminds me of all those that I have met while I was on the road. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the kind words, Skyler! Keep on riding!
Well done! Truly inspiring! I recently changed my transportation to work, for a bike....I used to used car..but i hate traffic...it is unfamiliar territory for me ..i am a newcomer in this way of life.
A very moving tribute Tristan. An awesome video. Great to meet you in Tajikstan also.
Excellent! Very inspiring.
Thank you for this video.
Beautiful video! Wished I could fly my drone like that - still learning :).
Gorgeous! And you nailed it! Godspeed
And there are plenty of hospitable doorsteps along the way.
Simply poetry
Really amazing! It was so nice to meet you Dushanbe last month. I hope you guys continue your journey.
We will! Already scheduled a Canary Islands bike tour. It won't be as amazing as Tajikistan but... it's something!
This is so beautiful, thank you! Makes you wonder why you would travel any other way
Bike Tripping is the only way ;)
Thanks, great and motivating video!!
I love Cycling with my Giant Talon Family
Fantastic video! Man, I really want to cycle. I just moved to Ukraine and am hoping to buy a bike soon. When I was back home in the US I would cycle every single day. I miss it so much.
This is Perfect mate..

Loved this video. Those of us who cycle understand the beauty.
Wow. This video is awesome. Cycling ♥️

I stated cycling when I had breast cancer. 13 years later I love it even more. Cycling gave me life.
That’s amazing. Keep on riding!!
Thank you.
These Two are Great.
Excellent guys. This is a message which needs to be put out to the masses who are fed the glossy images, slick marketing and idea that the only way to see the beautiful places around the world are accessed by luxurious airlines.
Nice video bro. So inspiring. Thanks
WoW Tristan, this video is just amazing and so inspiring. Really love your style and waiting impatiently for the next one. Deniz

Thank you very much! We really enjoyed making it. All the positive replies are very encouraging to keep on going. The track by James is called Guardian!
@@tristanbogaard Thanks - Safe Travels
I cycle for freedom

Great video, I'm looking to start traveling myself. My ownly concern is financial. How do you afford to travel the world the way you do or what job do you have that allows you the flexibility? Thanks
Actually, the beauty of bike travel is that you don’t need to look at your financial situation that much once you have your bike, bags and necessary luggage (sleep, cook, clothing). We have done this for years and work as ambassadors outdoor brands, allowing us to have saved up and steadily invest in better gear + we don’t own big things like a house or car.. but you don’t need this situation or stuff to get started. Get your stuff second hand, then travel with your bike while camping out and cooking your own food. Depending on where you cycle, but pretty much everywhere; it will be significantly cheaper than a normal renting agreement and monthly spendings. The only question is if you want to do it long- or short term. If short, as a holiday, it will be a bigger investment than when you go long-term and try to make a job with, for example, photography or books (which will take you years to achieve unless you already have the knowledge and experience).
That’s pretty much it, you should really consider the way you can manage, and I’m sure you can find a way to do it while staying financially independent :)
Can I ask what kind of drone you used for this video?
DJI Mavic Pro!
Another why we cycle explain video.
Why does anybody do anything?
Simply because they enjoy it.😊
cheesy as fuck but it gets me lol
It's the cheapest form of travel.
Love the cinematography, editing. Super job
