[@jamesmorrow252]

Really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

[@jeffmullinix7916]

Nice voice easy to listen too . Thanks for putting me on this trip .

[@BushmansAdventures]

you two rock. I'm unemployed right now but will be working soon and buying a custom made trike. Can't wait to get back into touring.

[@m1ke1981]

This seems like fun! You guys are cool!

[@lewisdye1002]

Thanks for this segment. I travel this road several times a year, I have family in Safford, I live in Phoenix. I recognized the location at the start, but this is a very different view of the road. Unfortunately there is no other route across Arizona that avoids Interstate!

[@dianejohnson275]

I am totally enjoying this trip with you and seeing country I will never see

[@MrPoppadawg1]

Sure do miss your videos

[@TrikeSquadron]

I know you guys tried a number of tires before the trip and settled on the lighter narrower tires for weight and speed... but doing all this cross country on debris strewn roads.. you might want to consider Schwalbe marathon PLUS tires. They are wider ad heavier ... but they are almost bulletproof... lot less tire changes.

[@recumbentrevolution6540]

dregerclock I agree, that is probably the best choice for a cross-country trip. I was wondering if the Tuffy's that were installed in the tires might have been chafing on that tube. the rear tire they have is rated good for Speed but I don't think it's rated for a lot of miles.

[@tennesseetravlintrike7582]

Your right but we pulled them off for the trip because we ride 3 miles an hour slower and that accounts for a lot of hours in the seat! But we should have brought one set for days when the road was truly rough! we are sorry about that now but we are learning through trial and ERROR....

[@tennesseetravlintrike7582]

we did destroy a set of those...per my hubby....he said we destroyed the side wall on them!

[@tennesseetravlintrike7582]

Dano the tubes failed where the are in contact with the rim tape not on the tuffy side but it was a great thought!

[@SmOoThYwOoDy]

I ride a TerraTrike Tour, 27 speed. Your trike kind of looks like a TerraTrike from what I seen of it.

[@mikebrownlee9603]

awesome ...so nice. lol....chatter box in the rear.

[@timdavis7398]

I avoided riding in the morning where the vehicles were driving into the sun. There are blind spots and they won't be looking for bicyclists.

[@StellarFella]

Recumbent trikes and trailer parks go hand in hand better than many presently understand. And RV parks too. I am a senior and will be test riding a TRIOT trike sometime in March. They look tremendous. Check them out. But the best long distance touring trikes are the HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS, the Azub Ti-Fly, and the Catrike Expedition. Another Greenspeed model is well suited for that as well.

[@cmccarpentry5953]

Lots of fun, Just so danm dangerous, Please be careful

[@paulahavens2764]

could you tell me what kind of camera you are using your video is really good,I also would like to know how you are repowering your camera on the road.

[@SmOoThYwOoDy]

Have you seen any rattlesnakes on the side of the road or on the blacktop, warming up?

[@primogonzales7549]

Livin' & Ridin' dangerously

[@scutecrone]

I love your video - and your trikes. Can you tell me what kind of trikes you have - how did you like their performance on your travels? I'm also concerned about the cost - I would need an electric motor to help me over the big hills and for when I get too tired. I would love any information you can send me - thanks so much. I would love to travel as much as possible on a trike - maybe even meet you out there. Shirlene

[@simideelite001]

Wow!!! The longest ride that I have ridden was only 27 miles, to my Work/School and back. (27 miles round trip)

[@alyally761]

great video.How many ur speed?

[@TrikeSquadron]

I guess there was no video of going through Phoenix and to Globe? DId you ride up to Globe? which way did you go up 88 and 188 or 6O?

[@tennesseetravlintrike7582]

We are not riding through cities any longer! It dosesn't feel safe. Nelson wanted to get Arlene back to Tennessee so we moved ahead to Apache Gold. He didn't feel right just leaving us outside of Pheonix....so we missed some beautiful days. But we are seeing a lot of other beauty!

[@The-GreenHornet]

I've watched your videos before, but I have a question. I can't remember what you said when you first started your tour regarding the riding shape or lack thereof you were in, and how many miles starting out you rode per day for the first couple of weeks??? I'm not in great riding shape right now, so I was curious regarding starting a tour. By the way, I have a Catrike Expedition trike with all my needed gear all ready. Lastly, water is the heaviest commodity, but we can't live without it. LOL. How much water did you carry each day per person? And how much did you really need and drink each day? Don't want to carry more than I really need, but obviously don't want to run out in the middle of nowhere. Thank you for your reply. Your videos are very encouraging.

[@vancemccarthy2554]

That road wasn't designed to have anything go down that free space. It's a safety net for the trucks, hence the rumble strip, so vehicles know where the edge of the road is.

[@ctuaeu-daniels7953]

Hope kept up with your electrolites as you were traveling each day??

[@DemiGod..]

Would riding with one wheel of the road have been possibe so that you could keep to the right of the rumble strip?

[@SmOoThYwOoDy]

I have 2 mirrors on my TerraTrike, that I can see behind me. The mirror I bought when I purchased my trike,it was to short to see behind me. Wish I could post a picture, because they are a lot safer than the one you have.

[@paulahavens2764]

How come you do not have your trike you seem to do well in the tandem but it would be easier on your own.Great video thanks for doing it and putting on youtube.

[@charleshunt9217]

where you been i missed your video alot you have vary good video keep showing video ok

[@RifullOfTheWest]

Oh man riding into that sunrise, extremely extremely dangerous, specially on a road with no burm and rumble strips wow. You are very fortunate you were not run over, specially on a recumbent. I would even fear doing this in my velomobile. Not a smart thing to do.

[@michaelbrinks8089]

👍

[@jamesbarker213]

Did these people ever finish their ride? No new videos in about a year. I’ve commented on several videos but have never heard back. Hope they are ok.

[@leesazeiler9216]

hi, it's Less, the Sister~ Hermana , just watched the last video, where, your bike, had problems, but, you, got to stay in a Awesome trailer, it looked cute 😊 , so I hope my comment is replying to previous utube, it was great, you probably are getting closer, it's Saturday 10:30 am , so I have to get to Alpine, you All will maybe beat, me back, just call me slow poke, he he. Loved video, bunches, see you tonight ? Love You Both XO Love Lees ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚵🚵🎪💹

[@camodudemtbh7594]

Wow

[@rayamanelly]

Riding with the sun in your face on such a busy hwy is dangerous.

[@retromaticmike5388]

In the future if they make those ripples half the with

[@ctuaeu-daniels7953]

You have awesome trike. But wouldn't it be better if you had fatter tires on your trike??

[@TheRosa63]

that is a dangerous road to be riding on the tires look to tiny for the strain and weight. get a tandem that has larger tires and avoid busy roads. not worth the risk. it is beautiful by the way and if you can do so can I, I am overweight too. and will be riding my bike a lot this summer.

[@uhadme]

If we make several calls claiming police waste taxpayer time and money on lame calls.. then what?

[@retromaticmike5388]

Throw away the rag that has Abestus from car and truck brake pads

[@driewiel]

Fucking rumble strips.

[@jeffmullinix7916]

Man those cars go by and never slow down or give you guy some room . Every time I come up on a human powered machine and giving a chance I would go into the oncoming lane to give some peace to the bicyclist . If I know I cant do that and I am not too close I would beep my horn once . Like beep and slow down . I never ever want to hit anyone of frighten them in any way . I seen what an automobile can do to a bike and the person that is peddling it . It like seeing a hit deer on the interstate . Not good at all . Poor guy did not have a chance or what hit him . It is something no one want to see . I threw up when I got out of my car . I felt sick like I never felt before . I been hit by a car before on the highway . I know if a person lived threw that and lived the pain I went threw . Be vary careful both auto drivers and bicyclist . One other thing .for bicyclist when your riding in a pack ride no more than 5 in a group and between the groups leave 150 ft between each group . This way if or when a car over take that the passing car can get back his lane if an on coming car show up . Everyone have to think about driving and riding and sloe down .

[@New777World]

This video looks so unsafe! Two way traffic on on coming traffic It feels like you're we're keeping an upright spirit by riding in a dangerous road! But glad nothing happened

[@mattbryte2]

Click bait so good

[@Sallysheffield]

Why are you not driving in the lane? You should be riding your bikes in the lane. Unless that was an Interstate where bicycle are not allowed, you should have been riding in the lane.

[@whataburgerchicken]

Sometimes riding in the lane is actually a lot safer. If you are in the side the drivers still have to go into the other lane to go around you so you are not really making it easier for them by staying to the side. The real danger is not people come up behind you, but people in front of you turning left or trying to cross into traffic. By being out in the lane you are not only easier for people at intersections, but you are giving yourself more space to get out of their way in case they pull out in front of you.

[@shoechew]

"Why are you not driving in the lane?" Are you stupid? Traffic is going 50-60 MPH faster than they are.
