Solo bikepacking for the first time in years
After years of bike touring with my partner, I head off on my first solo bikepacking trip in ages. This represents something big for me, as I say goodbye to the comforts of riding with someone else, and seek out the experience of adventuring alone again.

How I'm bringing travel home
Переглядів 953Місяць тому
I've been craving the experience of a long bike tour for a while (basically ever since my last one!) But there are some responsibilities that have me choosing to stay home for the next bit. Although I know it's the right choice, it can be hard not travelling when part of me wants to be travelling. So this is what I've been doing to bring the experience of travelling and bikepacking into my ever...

The Panniers I Wouldn't Get Again: Ortlieb vs. Vaude
Переглядів 19 тис.4 місяці тому
I have used both the Ortlieb Back Roller Classic 40L and the Vaude Aqua Back Plus 51L for roughly the same amount of time. I really enjoyed both sets of panniers while using them, but ultimately there's one I wouldn't get again. In this video I'll dig into the layouts, carrying capacities, durability, attachment styles, waterproofness and warranties of these bags. If you're on the hunt for a go...
Is FEAR keeping you from your DREAM bike tour?
Переглядів 2 тис.5 місяців тому
It is so easy to fill our minds with reasons we should NOT do that big bike tour we've been dreaming of. Fear often takes the wheel (or the handlebars!) and has us doubting that we could even do such a grand adventure. In this video I share 3 strategies I have used to overcome these fears and get myself out on the road time and time again. SUPPORT MY VIDEOS BY JOINING THE PATREON CREW! www.patr...

Ortlieb 4.1L Fork Pack: Long-Term Review
Переглядів 9 тис.7 місяців тому
I've used Ortlieb's 4.1L Fork Packs for over a year and a half now. These fork bags have some great qualities such as their waterproofness and ease-of-use. But they have some downsides to be aware of as well. If you're looking for a streamlined way to carry some weight on the front of your bike, check out this review of Ortlieb's 4.1L Fork Packs.

    Carry an adjustable guy line wrapped around a peg, handy in the top of bike-bag. Tie end to seatpost/frame, to keep bike upright. There isn't always something handy for it to lean against.

    Good video with an objective comparison. Sometimes it just comes down to money. Purchased the Vaude Aqua back w/o the side pocket, for half the cost of the Ortiebs - easy decision. Used them on 4 trips so far and they are still in great shape. Have also had the lower rack attachment piece come loose and fall out - easy to put back in - I feel it was user error on my part for unscrewing it too far - haven't had that problem since. Reviews i've read praise both brands - but the price is the price.

    I don't cook on tour. I recently discovered peanut butter in a squeeze tube. It's pure genius. No need to muck up a knife. Just buy some kind of flat bread (pitas, tortillas, etc.) and you can have a quick roadside meal. BTW, after 13 tours I still haven't found enough space for food on the bike. When will they make watermelon-compatible panniers? I HATE clipless for most of the reasons you mention. Here's another. I have wide feet. Using touring-specific flat shoes or just any kind of shoe with a stiff-ish sole means you can find a shoe that fits. For off-bike walking, I go with Teva sandals.

    yeah, your on a surly!!, why do folks think they have to go out and buy a surly. there's other touring bikes out there. I don't get it!! yeah surly is steel, i have a fuji touring steel frame i'll match up against any surly any time anywhere. You don't have to ride a surly. so many folks ride them, thinking that's going to be the best. it aint. its a fad!! 4130 cromolly steel is 4130 cromolly steel. its no diffrence. In fact, i am building up an aluminum frame touring bike i'll match against any touring bike anywhere When i get through with it.I am so tired of seeing surly!! ok surly price2,000 dollars. my gravel touring bike G-1 ozark trail wal mart bike 6061 aluminum frame. 250 dollars plus upgrades. surly is over priced.

    I can’t resist adding my thoughts to the pronunciation debate. Sheelagh is Canadian. I am also Canadian. We pronounce it pan yah (or perhaps pan ya eh 😂 as true Canadians). I don’t need to look anything up. That’s how we pronounce it here. It’s part of our dialect. Pannier is indeed a French word. Canada’s English is full of French words because of our history and because English and French are the dominant languages of Canada. Peace to all 🙏

    It's "Vow-de" (or more accurately, "fow-de"), not "Vode". And also, "Pan-yer" or "Pan-ee-er" (the entomology of this is interesting if you're curious, but suffice to say the french pronunciation is wrong)
