Thank you for showing us another part of the world. Love your style. We mainly stick to the south east here in the USA. It's so much fun to share the world with one another!
I am originally from Florida. What routes do you reccommend in the South East? Biking in the Czech Republic is amazing...tons of bike trails every where. More than 5,000 miles and the country is pretty small. safe travels
This is an awesome video, so cool that you always put the route and the distance there for each day. Great footage, cool journey and a cool riding buddy :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome stuff!
Hitting the gym so I can do this one lovely summer day:))
It was a awesome! No need to hit the gym...just hit the bike instead :)
Thanks for rhe data. Its helpful
Just now checking out your vids...been watching ryan van duzer...luv that guy...great job riding and filming your experiences...love your practical and honest spin on how to get into this...thanks for sharing...😎
Awesome, thank you! I am a Duzer fan too. I really want to do the Baja ride he did...but a few less bean burritos. I have another series you might be interested in where i bike across the Czech Republic. Safe travels :)
Hey Brian...you're really getting into biking, eh? What a journey...great job! Nice to see Tomas in the video.
Hey Mike! Ya loving biking lately. So much fun and the best way to travel. Not sure where I will bike next...possibly Prague to Dresden. What is new with you?
I did the Prague-Vienna Greenway last summer with Bicycle Touring Pro. We did in in about 6,5 days, so when I heard you thinking about doing it in 4 I thought you were in for a brutal awakening. Man, those first two days were really tough as I remembered it. Glad you decided to change your plans to do it in six days. Otherwise you might have killed poor Tomas. :-)
I am hard as rock. But I won´t lie. It was pretty challening. But a lot fun too. As always with Brina
Hey Mike! When i did all my research online it said the trial was 385km...that must have been just the Czech side. I had been riding +100km days regularly, but had not taken into account the extra weight and we did quite a bit of riding off pavement. It was a great trip! Let me know when you are back near Prague and maybe we can do ride. Safe Travels!
Glad to finally hear someone pronounce Tomas correctly.
one of the few words in Czech i can pronounce correctly, hahahaha
i was waiting for this here in Brno.
Should have met us in Mikulov :)
Very nice stuff. I am planning a ride from Prague to Slovakia this summer :)
Have fun! Where in Slovakia? When?
@@TheTravelVlogger not sure on the date yet. I want to at least hit the border. Any suggestions?
good job 😃
Thanks!
Great vlog, beer n biking at its best. How much was your train from Vienna to Prague? TIA Trev
Hi Brian, I seem to remember that you did the Camino del Norte recently on foot. I'd just like to comment that, if you are now getting into cycling, doing the "del Norte" by bicycle is possible and fun -- mostly even on the official paths (with a few exceptions). So maybe one day we'll see a video here with a long cycling trip through spain. Have fun, Ruediger
Hi Ruediger! Yes, biking is my biggest passion and I would love to return and do the camino del norte by bike. Have you done it by bike? if so, how many days did it take you?
@@TheTravelVlogger Yes, we (me and my daughter) did it by bicycle, starting in San Sebastian in August 2019. This has taken us about 3 weeks, with somewhere between 40-60 km / day, including some rest. Keep in mind that this is in the mountains and that we tried to stay on the Camino (rather than streets) as much as possible.
Thank you for share your experience. I'm looking to do a similar route for this summer, but I hate to share road with traffic. so my questions are:
- I's my impressive or near to Prague are plenty of cars?
- The Eurevelo is by road o green path?
- Are those bikes rend?
Thank's
Great video, looks like a real adventure! I am thinking about doing the same trip, however don't have a mountain bike only a road/gravel bike which currently has 28mm road tires but can fit 32mm off-road tires. Your video shows mainly tarmac, is that correct? Do you think it's possible to do the trip on a road bike with road tires or should I fit larger gravel tires? Or will it still not be possible with gravel tires? Would love to get your perspective!
Thanks so much for your response, cool you already rode it several times! Didn't end up doing the trip but will definitely be trying to do it next year :)
Can you share the route that you took that would be awesomeeeee
If one doesn't camp out is it difficult to find a place to stay?
This is awesome! I'm planning to bike from Salzburg to Rome through Eurovelo 7 after I get vaccinated.
Have any of you gone that rout? I've never done anything like this so any advice would be appreciated.
Oh man! I am jealous. Sounds like an awesome trip. This past summer, I biked from Prague to Salzburg and then to Vienna to finish the loop. Trip was so amazing, i accomplished my biggest goal yet. 1000km in 10 days...definitely not record breaking, but I did ride the mountain. I slept in a hammock with a tarp most of the time.
However I want to warn you that from Salzburg south will be super cold this time of year. Also quite a bit of elevation...i would guess around 1500m/day. Good luck!
I did München-Bologna through Innsbruck-Brennero-Bolzano-Trento-Verona. Actually I live in Berchtesgaden then from Salzburg you can drive in direction Traunstein and continue straight until Neubeuern. There use the Innradweg direction Kufstein until Innsbruck. From Innsbruck the Rute 182 until Brenner/Brennero. From the italian side there is a beautiful green road for bikes/footway until Verona (all signalized) (pista ciclabile Brennero-Bolzano-Verona). In Verona take the "Ciclovia del Sole" (EuroVelo 7) (tracks in the website www.bicitalia.org/it/bicitalia/gli-itinerari-bicitalia/58-bi1-ciclovia-del-sole) and you will arrive to Roma (I did until Bologna how I said). From Salzburg to Carinthia I haven't done, I don't have information about that
do you maybe have an gpx file?
For eurovelo 9 you need gravel or a normal road bike? Im thinking about going to vienna from Silesia. Greetings!
Sounds like a great trip...how many kms?
A gravel/road bike would have been better for Prague to vienna too. But i now that now, and i don't have a road/gravel bike. I like going on my hardtail, I like knowing I can go anywhere.
@@TheTravelVlogger from my home through Prague to Vienna - 700 kms, but through Bratislava only 350. Im thinking about buying giant contend ar so i could use wider tyres, its an interesting hybrid between road and gravel
i am interested in traveling from prague to vienna
it was a great ride....definitely recommend it.
Are you based in Prague? I am thinking of either biking to Sweden or Normandy in 2022, any tips on how to get sponsors? =D
Actually i live outside of Prague now. Regarding getting sponsors, explain why they should sponsor you and what will they get in return. Good luck!
Great journey! 👍
Are you guys based in Prague? Let's meet up!
Tomaš lives in Prague, i now live near Nove Mesto na Morave. Do you bikepack often?
I think you need bike fit.
You're not using a good seat height, possiblity injuring your knee as the time passes.
i'm pretty happy with my seat height...never had any knee problems.
This is a good video but fails to emphasize the amount of climbing involved... it is one small, 150 meter hill, after the other, all day long... I started it twice.... the good thing is that you can hop on a train at almost any point...
Why did you jam all that riding into 5.5 short days? You need to enjoy the journey not just the destination. And then you didn't get to enjoy Vienna at all.
It was more of a physical challenge. I love biking and seeing all the scenery was magestic. I love going slower too. I have another video series where I bike across the Czech Republic doing 20-30 miles/day.
@@TheTravelVlogger I'm really enjoying your videos. I will look for the Czech Republic videos.
lol, cyclepath, just realised it's the same pronunciation as psychopath
who are you calling a cyclepath? hahahahah
Taking your stuff off the bike and wearing a backpack, smart??
How weak they are
physically or mentally? hahahaha
I am sorry, not even 2 minutes in the video, you drank and then you got on the road again?
Like seriously? No hint of shame even? Couldn't do it the day before you joined traffic?
