1,200 DAYS Around The World On A Unicycle - RETURNING HOME [22,000 Miles Of Cycling]

[@noahbohl2127]

This video came up in my recommended and I’m just blown away by the whole adventure you’ve gone on. I wish I could watch the whole trip and maybe I will go back and watch your adventure in order. But I do have a question, how does this trip and the connections you’ve made been affected by Covid? After being on a global trip I can assume that your perspective on the impact of a global pandemic is probably quite different than the perspective I have or someone else who stays home mostly.

I'd like to see you do a TED talk about your one of a kind experience.

[@twizz420]

TED is a giant cult scam. There's been lots of people who have come out and spoken against it. Apparently they don't treat guests very well, don't pay guests but charge the audience, don't set anything up very well, will let just about anyone speak, etc. He can talk about his experience on youtube where he DOES get paid, and people aren't charged to watch, etc.

[@twizz420]

@@tfoen7678 they wouldn't be in direct control of money so that's never gonna happen. It's just a presentation with a sideshow anyways. I don't see why it has to have the TED name on it. He could do it for himself and it would look WAY better, and sound just as great.

I wasn't particularly interested in a unicycle video but 3 yrs worth of effort deserves a view and a like.

[@Mr_Reb3llion]

[@KandiKlover]

I don't care about the unicycle either. It's the adventure that sucks you in. Specially if you watched the other episode videos from each continent.

[@kevindouglasjackson]

Being a granddad myself, when your grandmother started to tear up I sympathized with her and shed a few myself. You know they are ever so proud of you as are thousands of other fine folks. I must say I've followed your adventures from the beginning and am sad to see it come to a close, and yet very happy for everything you've done for the School In A Bag. Stay safe in the future young man and many many happy miles.

[@mahmudurzakaria9217]

To have your grandfather working on your bike for an Around-The-World trip - words cannot describe the awesome! Salute to both of you! Not only for the 3 years of pedaling, numerous difficulties you went through and the skills to have the carrying system done, but for the connection you two have!

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

[@slugerknot]

KZbin recommended this to me, and I am spellbound by just how brave and exciting this was of you. When you crossed the finish line I couldn't hold in the emotion and commend what you've done. You've raised money for children in need, inspired countless, and this dude here is going to spend more time outdoors, thanks to one man from a town I've already forgotten the name of. Cheers. You're a true legend.

[@cerpitz9422]

Man, my tears isn't that shallow but i teared up when you say goodbye to your grandparents. As i grew up with my grandma & grandpa, i can feel the pain of saying goodbye. Thank you for sharing this video and i'm thankful that i found this video.

[@terryeffinp]

I am not sure how you could spend over 3 years on such an amazing adventure and return to a normal humdrum life. I think you Ed are destined to have many more wild rides. Perhaps on a bit less brutal mode of transportation.

[@johntrueblue]

4 months ago i found this channel. Why i never heard of this young guy travelling around the world on a Uni earlier. i started to watch this series from start and now too finish. If i had of known about this a few years back i could have met up with you in Fremantle/Perth or even Merredin where my mother lives The folks you met in Merredin, Lance and sandie, sadly Lance has fallen ill and has had to move closer to the hospital from what my mother has told me. I did shed a tear watching this last episode when you arrived at your grand parents place and knowing this if the final few pedals till home. You done an awesome job mate, im 53, never accomplished anything in my life, so if i was too wear a hat i would tip it your way, well done man. There is one out come to this tho, im now going to learn how too ride an Uni...thank you Ed.

[@VeloObscura]

Your videos are wonderfully shot and edited, and I believe this series to probably be the best bike touring series on KZbin - BUT despite this, the best part of the entire trip for me was seeing you and your Grandad inspecting his handiwork 3 years later. It was touching to see your relationship with him and really just a pleasure to listen to the man himself. A true scholar and gentleman, and an engineering mastermind for fabricating that setup. I believe that is now the gold standard of unicycle touring and for years to come people will emulate that design.
