Been exploring this island for the last 5 years, its a pleasure to watch it from your perspective. Great trip, and great work, you encourage me to do a bit more of bikepacking there.

Sicily was settled by a huge number of the top artisans from Italy. That's why everything things looks so zen.😮😮
@user-uj1iz 2 ай бұрын
That doesnt seem right. Sicily was settled by Sicels, then colonized by Greeks and Phoenicians, then invaded by romans, arabs, normans, greeks again, aragonese, spanish, french, germans and only italians after 1861, so not sure top artisans from italy had much influence.

The "Magna Via Francigena" is a 9-day christian pilgrimage hike from Palermo to Agrigento. I slow rode it in 2019. Second stop was Corleone. Ate at your pizza place :) Prizzi, on the mountain, not to be missed. Agrigento incredible temples. Also, you may want to go check out the Trans-Sardinia also. I rode it south to north, from Cagliari to Olbia. More mountainous, remote than Sicily. Cheers.

Fabulous! I spent a month in Catania, and one in Siracusa, and one in Palermo, but it never felt safe to cycle from city center to the quiet country lanes, so I didn't. This makes me want to try it again, with a bit more courage.

Enticing video Josh and good camera work. How many kms did you cover and how on earth did you guys seem to have the roads to yourselves? Anyway, I enjoyed that you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

The trip was just under 500km. Not much traffic on the broken roads of Sicily. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Great video, great views, but... I haven't seen any bike PACKING, to be honest. So.. emmm... rename it, maybe?

Where’s all your gear? You have a couple of very small bags, but not sufficient to be bike packing? What’s going on?
@Josh-Reid 3 ай бұрын
I was carrying a bag on my back with all the camera gear and we were also staying in hotels. I have plenty of experience in roughing it so nice to do a trip with a bit more luxury.
