A Wonderful Day of Bikepacking in Three Minutes
Рет қаралды 26,505
2 жыл бұрынI got a new bikepacking set up to explore the rugged terrain behind Oaxaca, Mexico! This is just a taste of what's to come; I'll be making some longer, more in-depth videos about the region and my new bike shortly. ⚡️
Don't worry, this bike is not a replacement for my touring bike and my intention is to continue cycling across continents as soon as land borders become more permeable. 😊

I've been wondering what happened to your last tour. The last I saw was that you were in Mexico when the pandemic hit and it seemed like you were making videos from there for a while. Now you're on a different bike from the one you were using on that trip.

I guess covid accelerated the rise of bikepacking at the expense of road touring. I couldn't even find a touring bike in the USA so I've decided to go the bikepacking route too. A video I'd love to see would explain the best gear sets for different types of cycling -- road, touring, gravel, trails, etc. Great video.
