Hello Dan! Beautiful video work my friend. It's not easy to do while traveling; however, you're doing a great job. So, if you happen to break down again, take your bags off it will make it much easier to get in a vehicle and you could have loosened and turned your handlebars sideways for the first truck. Just a thought. Again great video and we are looking forward to following along. ~Ron & Petra

Thanks! Yeah at that time there were so many people coming past I figured it would be easier to wait for someone with space but I didn’t think to loosen the handlebars that’s a great idea :)

I'm enjoying your journey and look forward to seeing more - thank you for sharing. Mechanicals must be beyond frustrating though, you're taking them more calmly than I would... Ride safe.

@DanCyclesTheWorld 11 ай бұрын

Thank you I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I find I have to accept that things are going to go wrong and I’m gonna have mechanicals that way it’s a lot less frustrating when they inevitably do!

Hi Dan! We did your adventure but in reverse. Dawson City to ferry to Top of the World to Chicken to Tok. Bob and I are really enjoying your vlog. Just curious (and because our conversation at Rancheria Falls in Yukon was brief), what's your background before deciding to bike Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Argentina? Am asking because of your mastery of editing and storytelling. Most impressive! Looking forward to the next episode! 🚵

Hey it was great to meet you! In terms of cycling my background was a trip last year cycling from Manchester to Istanbul to raise money for the Pink Ribbon Foundation, that’s how I got hooked on bike travel! In terms of editing and videography I’ve got no background at all, episode 1 is the first video I’ve ever filmed and edited! Thanks for following along :)

Beautiful scenery! How do you deal with the wet tent/gear? Do you try to dry it before packing it, or just pack it wet and hope it dries next time you pull it out?

@DanCyclesTheWorld 11 ай бұрын

It depends. If there’s a bit of sun in the morning I’ll try and let it dry as much as possible otherwise I’ll just pack it wet. It does mean I can go multiple days without it getting to dry properly if it rains every night, and that can get pretty tough but that’s just part of the journey!

New subs here, I am excited to see your journey for the next few weeks, months, or even years! I am also a fan of Johan. You are lucky to be able to do this kind of adventure, hope I can do this also. Keep going Dan! Waiting for your next episode! 🙏🙌

Look at a chain guide for your front chain ring. My wife’s bike had the same issue and I got her the GnarWolf guide from wolf tooth. Fixed her issues! There are a bunch of options but that will fix the issue of throwing chains. Love your videos.

Thanks! It was actually an issue with the freehub, I think it got dirt in it during the storm so I couldn’t freewheel :)

Just recently discovered your channel and now watching your journey. Fantastic videos and it makes me wanna go on such an adventure. What is the type of Surly bike you’re riding? And tire width? Thanks and greetings from Holland 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hey Dan, we spoke at Rancheria Falls. According to GPS, it's looking like you've made it past the smokiest part of the Cassiar? Hope all is well! Will continue to follow your channel!🙂

Hey, yeah I actually cycled from Rancheria Falls to Watson Lake in the smoke it was horrible! Then I hitchhiked down to Boya Lake to avoid the smoke on the Cassier

The thumbnails can't keep up with the video quality. I can't tell you much about what to do better, but it seems really old. Maybe don't use yellow characters. Still a fantastic video. Keep it up.

@DanCyclesTheWorld 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! I actually agree I’m not really happy with the thumbnails, need to find some time to sit down and work on them, any ideas would be massively appreciated! :)
