Bike Across Europe Movie (Two Wheels To Freedom)

[@chanihahner615]

By FAR, one of THE BEST VIDEOS / FILMS I’VE EVER SEEN here on KZbin or elsewhere. EXTREMELY WELL DONE!!! I’d watch your vlogs for hours. Kinda disappointed when you didn’t have a lot of videos posted. Watching this film brought me back to a younger time when I still had dreams to explore the world. Although I DID go to college in England, I wish I had more experiences such as these. Thank You soooo much for uploading it. It was just the distraction I needed to renew my youth. I’m from Carmel California & now live on the East Coast but watching this Film brought back a lot of the joy I was missing in my life.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey Chani! Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. I'm really happy to hear that the film brought you back to a younger time in your life. I truly believe that travel is one of the most important things that a person can ever do in their life. For me, travel is a reminder that we are so much more CAPABLE than we may believe. It challenges and pushes us out of our comfort zone, which is where a ton of personal growth can happen. I appreciate your interest in my films. I currently have a movie that is playing in film festivals across the country. It is a movie about cycling across America with no food, no money, and in search of human connection. The title of the film is "We Are All In This Together". If you are interested in seeing the film, go to: Weareallinthistogethermovie.com. Thanks for your support! -Daniel

[@andraslazar2437]

That seems to be the case with these great, heartly, long travel videos. If you find a really good one, you can bet on the fact that that's their only video.

[@chanihahner615]

@András Lázár Nonetheless, nothing can take away from the brilliance of THIS particular video / vlog. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

[@AwesomeAngryBiker]

incorrect Chani, its not one of the best. It literally is THE BEST, this even infinitely outdoes anything on TV. Ive lost track of how many times I watched it

[@theexplorer6813]

In total agreement. By far the best.

[@devondenham]

This is truly how Daniel is. Nothing in this is fake or contrived. I picked him up as a hitchhiker in Pennsylvania driving across the USA. His high spirits and positive vibe was with us all the way until I dropped him off in Montana. Great movie Daniel. Miss ya man you inspired me to push the limits like this over international borders.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey Devon! Good to hear from you. Man, such great memories driving across the country with you! Dude, I need to hear some of the stories about your trip in Europe! Let's keep in contact, and maybe we can do one of these bike trips together some day!

[@Tom-op8yi]

As an adventurous person myself, I deeply enjoyed this. I'm only 19, but I can't even say how much of a drive it gave me to start a new adventure, so I decided to travel to the Alps from Lithuania by bike.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey! Oh man, I am so excited to hear that you are traveling to the Alps from Lithuania! That is going to be an amazing adventure. I'm sure you will remember that trip forever! -Daniel

[@radicalnomad1]

How was the trip?? I'm also 19 and in a few weeks I will go on an 800 mile bike ride

[@kaiblackwell7495]

[@robvandenbosch7860]

Watching this 2 years late but what an incredible film. Very well done and inspiring. I’m going to do Amsterdam - Rome and this video got me so excited!!

Hey! So you are going from Amsterdam to Rome!? Awesome man!!! I am super excited for you. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Have a great ride!!!!! -Daniel

[@louisecooper4803]

Oh my gosh. I just didn’t want this to end. How beautiful. Thank you.

[@VagabondTurtle]

This has been so inspirational, I’m not joking when I say, I teared up while watching . What you do is exactly what I like about biking, and the simple village life, the inherited kindness of the people living there, it’s something that I hope we never lose. Thank you for showing this ❤

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey! Thank you so much for your kind message! I am really happy to hear that this film has resonated with you. I am glad that we both share the same feelings about biking! -Daniel

[@schmitzpr]

Great film, Daniel. I love the interaction in the Italian Deli. Thank you for the inspirational journey. I look forward to "We are all in this together" and any other films you put together.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Thanks for watching! I definitely think about this experience often.

[@percival3830]

Thank you Daniel, you are an inspiration. I'm 62, getting out of the rat race and the addiction to growth, growth, growth. I just want to ride my bike, and you have shown me how. This was a wonderful trip and I salute you.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey Malcolm! Thanks for sending this message. I know that getting out of the rat race can be really challenging, so I'm happy to hear that you are taking steps to make it happen! I know what you mean in regards to just wanting to ride your bike....The simplicity of riding a bike can be very therapeutic. Cheers to having some good bike rides! -Daniel

[@mo-215]

Very good film work...from POV to the side of the road shots and scenery. Also, I appreciate that you make it more about the ride and not avout yourself or self centered like so many KZbin creators.

[@GabrieLight]

I'm a bike traveller guy myself, I love to watch tours of other cyclists around the world, I've watched hundreds of videos, but this one is remarkable, the start is hilarious, the interactions with people is amazing touch, the way of editing is smart and simple, beautiful scenery, so the video make me feel happy and comfortable, changed my mood positively. Well done sir, and thank you! 👍 You got new subscriber here, and greetings from Egypt! ✋

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey! Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate the nice words. You are also a bike traveler!? Cool man. And you live in Egypt? Well, I plan on cycling from Cairo to Cape Town next year! If you have any tips for me, I would love to hear! -Daniel

[@GabrieLight]

@@TheTravelinDude You're welcome mate, yeah I'm from Alexandria. I only travel locally, I have not traveled internationally yet. But I'm sure that I've watch some Cairo- Capetown bike tours on youtube, like this one here 👇 but you can search for more! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXWymYRjnd58a9k As for tips, well for the Egyptian part, if you found the local police want to escort you at some points then let them do it, this happens only with tourists, mostly there's no danger but it's for protecting you, as some bad guys those who don't agree with recent regime want to ruin our image internationally to affect the tourism income by showing bad attitude towards tourists, but for real it's rare to happen, mostly people are nice and welcoming, so i know foreign cyclists don't like escorting as i noticed, but try to enjoy it as it'll not on the whole road. I found myself need to mention that. Don't forget about the hot sun and sahara climate, prepare well, and you're welcome anytime, Daniel. 😊

[@TheTravelinDude]

@@GabrieLight Thanks for sharing that youtube link! I have actually seen that movie before. That is one of the most inspiring movies I have ever seen! That man is an absolute legend!!! Thanks for the advice about cycling through Egypt! Really excited about it!

[@FOOSAG]

Great bike adventure film, thank you for sharing. Enjoyed your interactions you had with the locals. I feel that a lot of Americans live with a sense of fear of the world, but this video really highlights that there are a lot of wonderful people out there in this world who are willing to help one another (maybe except for that one Austrian farmer with the gun.. haha..). Also liked the fact that your video was "real" in the sense that you showed the lowlights as well as the highlights of your adventure. It wouldn't be a true adventure if everything during your trip was smooth sailing. Getting caught in rainstorms, riding through that sketchy narrow tunnel, escaping that angry farmer with a gun, and making those ad hoc repairs to your bike, those are all part of what made this trip a real adventure! I hope to one day be able to take my bike and ride the Eurovelo network.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey! Oh man, thank you so much for your feedback! I totally agree that a lot of Americans live with a sense of fear in the world. And yes, I believe it was important to show the lowlights and highlights because that is what a bike tour is all about. There are so many things that can happen while you're on the road, and that's what makes it a beautiful experience. It's not always a sunny day and smooth riding. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! -Daniel

[@dermotpurcell8861]

Great adventure thanks for sharing. One of the best on KZbin for touring

[@TheTravelinDude]

Yo Daniel, I met you with friend Jack on a bike path by your house. We were touring the Pacific Coast at the time and you made us some pesto pasta and let us stay in your backyard! Thanks again, we were going to sleep at the golf course. You were still editing this movie and telling us stories from it. It is so good, what a crazy trip, can't believe you got to be a farmer in Switzerland. Hope all is well with you!

Hey Thomas. Thank you so much! I appreciate you! -Daniel

[@EBikersplace]

The 1st days riding is often poor when arriving via a port and it takes time for me to acclimatise. Then through a series of interactions, excersie and a sense of adventure the mood keeps rising. That's why I love bicycle touring.

[@robinferguson8911]

Absolutely loved this. The scenery, the hill struggles followed by the white knuckled euphoria downhill, the shoestring fixes, your 6-week experience on the farm with that lovely couple... loved all of it. And finding a good campsite while touring is such a part of the adventure, and I thought you were so ballsy with some of them!! I hope to see many more of your videos in the future!

[@MotionPictureTrips]

1:38 lol I'm glad I'm not the only one mentioning the lack of a bike shoulder in European road, tunnels, bridges, etc! I had a bit of acclimatization to this by riding a bit in the city, but in your case you just jumped straight into the crocodile infested lake of European car and truck traffic!

[@TheTravelinDude]

haha! yeah, the riding got a little sketchy in some of those places. But man, the cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands was like a dream come true!! Thanks for watching my film. -Daniel

Apart from the farm interlude in Suisse I spent 30 years doing just what you're doing and loved it. btw I would think the gun going off was to scare the birds, no one would have been shooting at you to scare you off. Thanks again for the video. Freedom indeed!

@@TheTravelinDude i did 4000k wild camp mostly, I wish I knew how to stich my route together and put on a map.. But I tried my best to never be on a paved road. its hard in EU. I did Lisboa to Bilboa to Lucate to Marseille..Corsica North to South.. then small part Sardinia.. Civiticaccia to Adriatic .. (adriatic crest trail) many boat rides .. the forest of croatia..slovenia, Bled, I did not ride over alps because too many cars were dodging tolls and told it was insane traffic, took train, descended from some cool mountains down to konig see..west to Konstnce...thats the very abbrevriated Italyians of all countries showed the least respect to land

Really enjoyed this, young fella! My last bike tour was from Nordkapp to Sicily (with my little dog). Italian roads in the south were, well...terrifying. Wish I had had the courage to cycle all of the wonderful passes as you had done - the dog said NO. Anyway, keep riding, stay safe.

[@TheTravelinDude]

Hey! Oh man, cycling is Sicily must have been amazing! I would love to do that one day. Yeah man, Southern Italian roads can be a little sketchy. haha. Thanks for watching! -Daniel

[@brianwheeldon4643]

@dogandsnailbiketravels6532 Hey, back in 2012 I rode Nordkapp to Siracusa in Sicily, minus little dog. I loved it, and not having the little dog was freed up to ride the mountains in Switzerland, France and Italy. I keep thinking I'd like to do it again, though age might prevent me nowadays.

I am so happy to hear this! Back in 2010, I met a girl in Amsterdam who was biking across Europe. Although I never saw her again, she totally changed my perspective in regards to alternative ways of travel. I hope that you get the chance to go on your bike tour!

Always interested to see a channel with fewer subscribers than my own! Man, you deserve way more than you have. Loved this film. Having binge watched Wheels to Wander and Ed Pratt unicycling round the world I thought I’d had enough of watching cycle tours but when yours popped up, I couldn’t resist and am glad I watched it all. Very entertaining, great footage and story telling/ narration. What awesome scenery! Enjoyed every minute and wish you well with the channel and touring. I am sure your channel will grow. That dreaded algorithm!

Stelveo pass is well known because it is the HIGHEST PAVED ROAD IN EUROPE. And for an insane stage in a giro d’italian cycling race. Basically the only time an American has ever won that grand tour. Here’s the story: It started out completely sunny. As the racers were climbing up the climb before stevio the sky opened up. 3000 feet rain, 4000 feet torrential downpour, 5,000 feet sheet, 6000 feet ice 7,000 snow. 8000 feet snow and ice. They were planning to end the race in the town but as the riders crested the summit the finish line was clear and no storm in sight. So the race continued. Then on the climb 1000 feet light drizzle 2000 feet sprinkling. 3000 feet rain. 4000 feet downpour 5,000 sheet 6000 ice 7000 snow, 8000 thick snowfall finish line at 9560 feet total whiteout blizzard the storm came out of nowhere and a American came across first 3 minutes ahead of the second place rider.
