Very fine. I'm riding through there in May, so will be going through Briare then onto Nevers. I'm looking forward to seeing those sections.

Hello, my measurements are 180cm and 83cm inseam and the shopkeeper told me that I need a size 56. Do you agree with him ? Nice video, thank you, regards :)

Which month did you start this trip?

Thank you for sharing this. So many interesting facts and beautiful scenery

Hei Mike! Jeg skal kjøre en del av EDT i Sommeren 2025. Min plan er å starte fra Sykkylven ( nær Ålesund ). Jeg vil prøve med min retro gravelbike å kjøre EDT fra Lillhärdal nordover til Lycksele. Mitt spørsmål er : Er det mulig å ta toget tilbake til Andalsnes fra Lycksele? Eller må jeg kjøre til Oslo og derifra til Andalsnes? Jeg gleder meg hvis jy få svar fra deg. Mvh Sven Thomsen 🚲

Can you keep laptop in it?

Hi Mike. I admire and envy you very much, this part of the world is my favorite. But do you know that your front brake is mounted incorrectly, or is that intentional? There is a risk that if you brake hard it will be torn out of the fork.

thk for your info!

Good afternoon, Thanks for the video. Very interesting and beautiful. In an other of your videos , I saw that you put the bike in a big bus with a compartment for luggages an bikes. Are there these bus in all Sweden ? Do these bus do long distances in the country ? For example Happaranda-Stockholm or Kiruna-Stockholm. What is the name of the company ? Are they expensive ? I am French. Thanks for your answer. Best greetings 😊

У меня Kona Sutra 2013. Я не так много на нём езжу. Я его выбрал как надёжный велосипед. У него большие колёса и хороший накат по асфальту при ширине колеса в стоке 1.25". Я даже загружаю его и сзади багажник на 20-25кг и спереди +10-12кг. И с такой загрузкой могу ехать по грунтовой дороге! Иногда колёса прорезают землю, я слезаю и толкаю его. Но грунтовой дороги обычно мало. Зато на асфальте это шикарная техника! 🤤 Я тоже поставил проставочные кольца и поднял руль для круизной посадки и заменил седло на brooks с пружинным амортизатором👍 У меня три цепи campagnollo и я меняю их по очереди через каждые 200км. Заменил тросик тормоза. Места где тросы прикасались с рамой протерли краску, я эти места залепил изолентой.. научился разбирать трещетку специальным ключом и даже заменил одну группу маленьких подшипников. В общем велосипед выглядит как новый! Я использую его как велосипед и берегу его😌🇷🇺 Если будет интересно, то тоже смогу сделать обзор своего велосипеда.

Fin film. Når startet du fra Kirkenes?

Thank you for taking us/me onto your journey via these great videos. You really made my (sporty Xmas) days by afterwards watching potential next plans. All the best and happy and healthy 2025 to you and all.

I love your video. I will be moving to France in 2026.

Stunning atmosphere, really amazing landscapes. Congrats for your journey! Outstanding presentation, thank you!

Thank you Mike for letting us participate in your adventure, I really enjoyed every biking day watching your great video(s)

Thank you for making us part of your great tour ! I really enjoy.

Hi Mike, did you cycle the 92 (down from Kirkenes) as part of the European Divide? We passed it last spring cycling from the Netherlands to the Northcape. Is it a busy road (we plan on starting to or from Jakobselv)? Grtz.

Hvad man ikke har i hovedet må man have i benene😢 for at spare et par kroner set i bagklogskabens udlidelige klare lys. Tak for nogle gode inlæg🎉

What time of year? In prior video, it didn’t look like much of the lavender was blooming.

Thank you for the great videos, commenting in a very modest and charming way.

Hi Mike, can I find somewhere the GPX track of the whole trip or a list of campgrounds you visited? I am going to Italy next summer and I have found out that Italy is not a camping-friendly country. There are very few campgrounds available and they are expensive.

Why allways eat crap? Why not try to make real food? Or just try to catch a rabbit and cook it.. The reason you look fat is because all that weird food you eat.

Tell me, what brand is the white tent.?

Really interesting about the supermarkets. Not sure if that would work here in Uk

Man, You are everywhere! I was just watching Global Cycling Network's "The Very Best of Our Epic Gravel Rides [2+ Hour Compilation]" episode and suddenly I've seen you at 13:48. You were helping GCN guy. Adorable!!!

What would you different if you had hostel/b@b Accommadation and no need for a tent/camping?

All so beautiful. Thank you

Where are you Mike?

I always stay on the Camping Municipal. I stayed on that St Emillion Site 10 years ago and even then it was 20 Euros.

What has happened to you, Mike ? I have not seen you for ages

Kona gave this bike a real classic and timeless look with it’s nice paint Color offset with leather seat, sorry saddle, and handlebar tape - or is it cockpit tape, I don’t know, don’t know the lingo, but just saying this is a nice looking bike and appears well built. I have a Dew and Big Honzo - both new current Kona models as I have just taken up cycling. I enjoyed this review and want to thank you for all your input. Big thanks from Ontario Canada.

Love to get there next summer. GPS had me on a steep muddy mountain bike trail with panniers. That was a long day.

A basic first aid kit or at the very least a tick remover. For the dark sleeping a buff is great. In fact I always have 2 or 3 with me, they are just so versatile. I use one as a pillow case for the Trekology 2. As for pillows… I would take comfort over cost or a few extra grams any day.

Man! That was so good. I visited these regions last October but was on a cruise and touring with the wife etc. So was pretty rushed. You showed us how you can get around by bike which is my dream. I fell in love with Italy and watching this just makes me want to go back and ride my bike around there. 😮👍 Keep up the great work!

even more important reason to keep it in the plastic bag, is not to store it so it touches the aluminium, because brass and aluimium will react to gether and corrode

Showing packed up dimensions would be useful.

That salad looked perfect and the cheese! Yum

The beginning of this ride was a little crappy🫢

All so beautiful and the music.

Great video Mike, thank you. Are you in contact with Kevin? It would be great to see the two of you make a trip together

Buy the flat pedals for touring. Upstroke advantage is beyond marginal. You’ll be happier and more comfortable

Bicycle touring best than motorcycle

You have the camera turned toward you most of the time you are riding. That way we do not see most of the countryside on your ride. It would be better if you narrated while the camera is facing forward please?

Du bist der Beste! Danke für deine Inspiration! Sommer 2025 radle ich durch die Wälder von 🇸🇪 ans Nordkap . Beste Grüße aus Schleswig-Holstein Alex

Love your vid style: low res, little lomo/retro style.

Another great video Mike my friend, Happy travels,Michael from Mississauga Canada

Hi, could anyone share a gpu foro this route?

I have one of these helmets and my visor seems to have gone really wobbly for some reason. do you have any idea what it could be?

I would ask, when you use gas, why use the trangia? ;)
