About traffic it can be avoided riding at night but don't try on weekends it may be even more dangerous

I don't know, this saddle cost over 400 US bucks. Not for the average person. Maybe when the price comes down, way down. Seems like it would work but still a gamble if I would even like it.

Great video and review Eric. After 50,000 miles on these Infinity Seats, I think 'conventional' saddles are the weird aesthetic. I use them for road, gravel and MTB. My rides go up to 12 hours. Like rim brakes and carbon wheels, (what we did to try and make carbon wheels work vs simply going to a brake rotor and eliminating contact with the rim), bike saddles for over 100 years have been based on a bad design and optimized as best as possible by softening the concentrated pressure on the ischium, or, sit bone. Infinity Seats changed that by eliminating all pressure on the ischium, perineum region and for the most part, the pudendal nerve which combined, make up the reasons conventional seats are often associated with not just ischium pain, but numbness in the entire area. Also note that Infinity now offers the the X Series seats made with weather proof marine vinyl - best for muddle, wet severe conditions where you don't want to worry about taking care of the leather. As for price, well in the middle of the premium seat market. Considering many cycling enthusiast spend thousands or even $10,000+ for their bike, often adding carbon wheels for thousands more, buying an artesian Infinity Seat that turns discomfort into a comfy experience is the greatest bargain in bikes. As I say often, "After a 12 hour race, the only thing that doesn't hurt is my ass". - Grey Haired Cycling Dude. PS: I wear bibs with a 2mm chamois.................no more diaper pads in my bibs!

Seatpost suspension is a huge performer. One of the great benefits on nimble bikes with narrow tires is that the suspension has the effect of pushing back and planting the tires on the ground when they would otherwise hop and skip over. A neoprene cover is is strongly recommended to keep out the elements for the Cane Creek options.

That is not really stealth camping. Most of Canada is not designated as a campsite, and you could camp over most of it, and not ever be within miles of another person. Stealth camping is camping with the intention that your activity is not observed or discovered. The point isn't legal or permited, or illegal, it is stealthy. There are a lot of good reasons to camp in a way where your activities are not under scrutiny. It isn't wild camping either, a lot of cycle tourists stealth camp their way through major cities. (It seems to be a UK peculiarity to put "wild" in front of normal activities like swimming, and convert them into something edgy, that requires special gear, and instructors.)

After telling us that the single biggest mistake people make is to over-complicate, you then go on to make sleeping seem like brain surgery. Obviously if one wanted to bike around the world there would be a lot of different conditions to deal with. But I don't really get why people over-complicate bike touring. It is just riding a bike, and camping. Kids used to do both, and maybe that is the problem. Today is my 65th birthday, and I grew up in a time when we cycled to school, it was normal. We worked on bikes because what else would you do when they developed problems, watch KZbin?. And 10 speeds showed up in NA during the 70s, so we just transitioned to those. I did my first winter camping when I was 12 (Canada). All this stuff was just stuff we did growing up as kids. Some kids did scouting, I was more in the adventure sport side of things. Rock climbing meant comping, there was no money or hotels where the cliffs and ice were. So I am sympathetic if all this stuff is foreign to people. My dad was born in 1925 and he did bike touring with his friends, and later with his wife, it was how you got around. It is sad to me that many people don't grow up doing this stuff. Marketing, both of channels and gear is one of the reasons this stuff gets complicated. Now we have bike packing and we have touring to discus. Totally unnecessary complications.

8:49 the cutthroat thing was not threatening, people simply never forgot about the two young beautiful women from Denmark who camped and were brutally attacked by 3 ISIS affiliates and that was their way of letting you know it's not safe even tho the usual and the norm is 100% safe but that is how everyone behaved until that day happened and nobody was happy with that and people really got pissed off because of it and so from that day on we recommend that people shouldn't just camp anywhere even tho 99.9% of the times they would be safe the trauma of that day is never forgotten and so people try to avoid anything like that happening again. also, I can guarantee that when you were camping someone was up all night watching over you which we do now without letting the people know about it because they could feel they are being stalked or something creepy but we have a saying here ' if you were bit by a snake, you become prudent of the rope '. that is everything to it, we respect and welcome anyone who visits this country and we know it's not easy for anyone to set aside some cash and time and planning and visit someone else's country so we try or at least the vast majority of us try to be kind to the visitors. Morocco is everyone's second home and all we expect is people to keep that in mind when visiting or settling here and that is equivalent to earning yourself the Moroccan Nationality and since you travel a lot, if You ever run into Moroccans abroad, just tell them You visited Morocco and see how they will treat You like You were Moroccans, family.

Nice to see you back, and on my country to top it! Last Christmas I wanted to do a similair route with my bike through the coast, but starting in Lisbon and finishing in the border with Spain in the south. Unfortunately it wasnt possible in the end. I never heard about this Fishermans trail. The path you did is ok to bike? Does it follow (partly) the eurovelo 1?

I had planned to cycle SE Asia but blew all my money living like a king in Japan. 😂 I had read about that sort of problem crossing borders, i decided I would just pay them if it happened to me. They need the money a lot more than i do and it's usually not much, $25 or so. It would be different if they wanted hundreds.

Hello to you both! Thank you for this! Your tutelage in the past helped us orient our packing for our cross-Canada ride in 2022 (see @never2late:n2l). We are moving to more bike packing and note you are "reusing" your sport rollers in the rear!! This is my plan as well ...QUESTION: do they rattle about during the off-road sections? Do they need extra support (the gravel ones in front have 2 hooks in the bottom, the sport rollers have one). Insight is most welcome here as I do not want to have to purchase new panniers for the rear if the sportrollers will do the job robustly! Thanks for any help and wishing you the best from Canada!

First hack you need to know : buy a strong bike Second hack: learn smth about bike repairing I been trying different kinds of movement motorbikes Enduros quads cars donkeys horses skates water motorbike and the biciccle is the thing that is giving me the most problems among all I tried they see just squissy I wanna cross the world in bicicleta but looks I need to know about mechanics and adjusting things and changing parts . Today just took a 600 mb and it's making sounds on the highest gear could be many things like the b-screw adjustment( no idea what is that ) so the most important by far into this sport is buy the correct bycicle and learn how to repair

@@WheelstoWander I'm actually Spanish my major concerns about this trip is bikes seem to break or need adjustments evey x random of miles so now I'm doing a test ride to check how this bycicle works . It will each 100 miles or each 1000 if it's each 100 miles I won't be riding in peace and very concerned about the next pit stop so that's my major concerns in this adventure all looked fantastic since discovering bycicle maintenance

I recently found a copy of ‘Mogreb-el-Acksa’, by R. B. Cunninghame Graham, who tried, disguised as a Berber, to travel from Marrakesh to Taroudant against all advice, via the Wadi Nafīs, only to be arrested and incarcerated in Talat N’Yaaqoub (Thelata-el-Jacoub) by the local Caid. It was interesting to see the landscape of the area, and aspects of a much-changed culture, in your video, so thanks again!
