Did you know that Australia was recently ranked the 6th best country to travel by long-distance bike travellers? π¦
I made a video about the other top-10 countries here: https://youtu.be/tu_abG1PxQI
Apologies in advance,, you both inspire self to bike back. I was in tears π’ π π€§ forward of being hit by a motor vehicle whilst cycling π² I'm forever different. Afterwards, my bikes got so dusty, dry rot tires, spider webs and more just in the Garage over two (2) years 2020. It's a lot mentally plus physically to BOUNCE FORWARD. Between receiving Acupcture Treatments plus Massage Therapy. Awaiting Aqua Therapy. EXIGENT I BOUNCE FORWARD. Thanks A Lot for sharing this. I personally appreciate this. CYCLIST FOR LIFE πππ
Fantastic footage! ππ
The thing i hate most about australia is the flies. Surely theres some virus they can unleash to wipe them out
you don't list your panniers in the gear list. many people simply want to know the most obvious bits of touring gear THE BAGS. ; ), even if, like the bike, we can't afford a 6000 ride – but want to know what the big boys use to tote the camp !
Why use your phone instead of Garmin for navigation?
Awesome thanks!
Inspiring! I did a lap of Australia by car in three months with two friends 35 years ago. I'd love to do it by bicycle,
Wow!!!!!! What a beautiful adventure! β€β€β€β€
Such a beautiful video Alee, so nice to have you showing off Australia and for making this ride look possible! The gpx file is super helpful!
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE MERIT Connect to Creation through best two wheel human power content provider in the world are back in full force, arguably one of your very best videos super BRAVO and thank you β€β€β€β€β€ACADEMY AWARD QUALITY CONTENT WORTHY OF NOMINATION
Is there no large predators in Australia?
Absolutely incredible!
At 5:05 I noticed what looks like a smart phone attached to the stem.
Did you have a problem with your device overheating or depleting battery life prematurely in that direct sunlight?
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed!!!
Beautiful bike video super ππππ΅ββοΈβΊοΈπβ€οΈ
What happened to your Ortlieb panniers?
What model is usd suspension fork?
SPECTACULAR!
mate!! πππ
Your videos are always so pleasant to see, thanks for sharing them! How is your mom?
Your videos inspire me so much to change my life. Who gives a fuck about web dev when you can cycle through life for a few days or months
Zero punctures throughout Australia is unheard of! Probably should have tried to ride on the highway side-lanes for some extra punishment π . BTW: Team Pinion vs Team Rohloff: Who of you is happier with your respective membership?
Great vid your film making is incredible. Thanks for sharing this with us
Terrific video, thanks for posting it and sharing your great bike adventure.
31:40 just a thought all of a sudden, where do yall find restrooms every day…
Amazing stuff! really makes me miss home.
That was really interesting. I liked the occasional outdoor art. How kewl to roll up on it in the middle of nowhere π. I thought the Outback was all flat and dry ground. It has a lot of interesting places but I donβt think I could do that much time in all the heat π‘. ππππ΄π»ββοΈπ΄ββοΈβ€οΈ
Awesome video guys. πππ
This is one of the best edited and most enjoyable videos I have ever watched on YouTube. Thanks guys!
Beautiful. I have flown and driven this a few times but not for a few years now and mis it.
Hey Alee can you give a link to bike that your cycling partner is riding with the Pinon gearbox?
Super epic! The Koga looks great but I still prefer the orange colour you had before.
Love the video!
This was just like a documentary. Thank you for sharing
Have find any snake ?
Awesome video but how many bycle punchers
I liked your enthusiasm of cycling….
This is sooooo epic! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video..amazing world!
Thank you for making this film! It really put this country on my radar as a bike touring destination. Question: were the bikes set up as tubless?
OMFG that's the most beautiful bike trip I've ever seen in YouTube.
