    I don't know if you'll ever read this, but this video you made years ago was actually an instrumental moment in my biking adventures. Being 16/17 and seeing you guys have an absolute blast on your strung together gear really got me inspired. Your bungie cords and bags set up inspired me to just get out there, regardless of my gear. Bungie cords and dry bags got me out on my first over nighter and since then I have done countless trips including biking from coast to coast in my home country of Canada. Thanks for the content over the years and never taking yourself too seriously. You have been a big inspiration for me and I'm sure countless others. Thanks Seth!

      Perhaps out of your budget but a bike ride from Po’ipu to Ke’e beach would be nice with appropriate stops. Since this might not be far enough for you, an alternative would be from Naha to cape Hedo on the island of Okinawa. Once you pass Yomitan it gets nicer and there is a great road stop which is cheap and tasty. The coast has a bike path on and off and provided you don’t ride after a typhoon, it is usually debris-free. I recommend stoping at Manza to refresh in the ocean or any one of a number of resort beaches. These often have jelly-fish nets but there is a fee to swim there. Public beaches are free but I would not get in much above waist depth without a body suit. There is a campground in Motobu just past the Family Mart on hwy 110. They have showers. The office does not have long hours but I have paid in the AM when getting in after dark. I don’t recommend camping in summer due to the heat. There are plenty of pensions that are not too expensive. Nago has some good ones just before you enter the city. While there you can visit Chuarumi aquarium. Plenty of places to eat either on Sesokojima or on Kourijima. Of course they have a nice buffet at the aquarium. Try “Taco Rice” which is not really Mexican, but tasty anyway. I never really carry much water because there are plenty of places to stop and buy a drink. Lawson’s is everywhere. (Like 7-11 only better) After Nago, there are fewer towns unless you pedal inland. I would come back the same way but there is a road on the pacific side too just more with more turns. I would also stay away from Aura Bay because the military is ruining that area.

    I did the same trip from Miami to Key West in summer of 2013. It was my first real take at traveling on bike. We did it in two days, logging 125 mi. on the first day and I have never wanted to do that mileage while touring again. It is more important to take it all in inch by inch and enjoy it... much like you guys, I was not thoroughly enjoying myself. It hurt. BUT trips like these exemplify adventure. Adventures you can look back at and be proud of. My experience was also rewarding and it fueled a fire to put together the whole Atlantic East coast in 3 other two week trips in non-consecutive years. Great video.

    I hope you guys do it again. Bike Touring / Bikepacking is my favorite. So many cool things to experience, from the mountains to the sea, to the people you meet along the way. There will always be some trials and tribulations, but like you said, they make for good stories 🙂

    You make a ton of really great, informative, and entertaining videos. This one, however, is my favorite. Great coverage of an epic journey. Best compliment I can give you is, this is making me want to get out and ride.

    Classic Series on the Channel, I must have watched this series 10+ times, was a perfect series, from the clips and the voice overs. Thank you for the amazing content 😁

    Was insteresting to see/hear the difference in Seth's video style from back then to now. I especially enjoyed them reflecting on it.

    I remember watching the videos of this bike packing trip when you first uploaded them. I was doing bike deliveries full-time at a small, local startup before Uber eats and doordash existed. Seeing this go up in the early boom of both your channels was so cool and inspiring. I was just starting to really get into cycling, and seeing your reflection video makes me want to attempt my first trip later this year. Thanks for the memories guys! Can’t wait for that 2nd trip!!

    I’m still circling back to watch the original Seth’s bike hacks! I love all the tips and tricks and use them daily.
