Bike Touring Fanatic

Touring on a bicycle is in my blood. Once you've made the investment and got your first tour under your belt, you will always keep coming back for more.

Awesome video! Being in our mid to late sixties we just finished a seven week tandem tour Zurich, Switzerland to Venice, Italy through eight countries in October. Planning is key and being prepared for weather and bike issues. Keeping the day's distances moderate to enjoy the places and views along the way! For us motivating each other when things get tough. Already planning our England and Scotland Lands End tour for 2025. Keep it going as long as you can and travel with people who love the journey to or solo if that's more your speed. ❤

I’m in my 20’s, passionate about biking, trying to figure out life, and obsessed with the idea to travel around the world on my bike. I find it really inspiring seeing you do this and draw a lot of inspiration, joy, and motivation from this. Very good video I love it.

[@OliverWiehe]

OMG - you CRUSHED this video - this is a piece of CINEMA!! Best shot - night shot with drone over the lake - wow!!!! Incredible - going to watch it a 2nd time! Pedal ON!

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thanks for the kind comments

[@OliverWiehe]

@@goldenearsvideography just curious - how long have you been creating/editing video?

[@goldenearsvideography]

@@OliverWiehe Videos, for about 3 years, but creating a story based video, my first

[@villuarak]

462 subscribers but looks like 462,000. Such is the quality of your cinematography, editing, and sound design. Storytelling at its best. A wonderful experience, thanks!

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank you for the kind words

Amazing. 61. Four surgeries in my right knee. Bike fanatic in Bogotá - Colombia. Your testimony motivates more to get started in bike packing.

WoW excellent video!!!! Powerful! Gonna keep the drive alive in me …. I’ve only done 2 long tours, 1200 & 1800 miles, but really want to do more, while I’m still young enough (72). Thanks for the inspiration.

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank-you and just get out there and do it. You will meet some really great people.

Stunning video! Love the passion and thought that was put into this

[@mazpr2025]

Props for the smazint shots... May seem easy, but many of the fistance shots do take time and proper staging.

[@steveread1798]

Interesting video and nice to see but Wow what fantastic video production!

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank-you. so much!

[@erent.1453]

what an inspiring video thank you for posting sir !

[@mattdelcomyn8012]

Nice work buddy!

[@Marchey_]

This is a spectacular and inspiring video! I'm so glad you were able to overcome that injury and enjoy bicycling again!

[@billysbikesbrews7183]

Excellent Video 🚴‍♂️😎🎥 No sooner do I get off the bike.. I’m thinking about my next ride or Adventure.. 👍

[@jimmccorison]

This is a beautiful video. I enjoyed the different scenes and visual beauty. I envy you being in Vancouver. A few months ago, my buddies and I spent four days riding in the area and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish Amtrak were more reliable, as that's an easy way to get there.

[@kasinyvr9781]

Fellow Vancouverites (seniors) who love bike touring. We’ve done 4 self-supported tours in France, each of about 1800 km. We are addicted! When we are in Vancouver we ride as often as possible but it’s not quite the same as riding for 70Km every day through the French countryside. We LOVED your video and look forward to more from you. Excellent videography!

[@goldenearsvideography]

Nice, I'm waffling between my next ride being Australia's East Coast and Paris to Berlin where my son lives. I agree, while local riding is awesome, you can't beat being onn an unfamiliar road.

[@ames477]

watched at 0700 sipping coffee from the comfort of my chair. Now I feel both guilty and inspired. Well done.

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank-you, as I sip my morning coffee :)

[@Marco_Dubbleyou]

Hahahaha… I am enjoying a little glad of wine and think about my bikes

[@duncanmclean5232]

Look at going to the Netherlands on a “Bike & Barge” holiday. Amsterdam to Bruges is fantastic…………A lot of Canadians and Americans have experienced cycling in the Netherlands………Cycling heaven!!!!

[@simplydebes]

Or the Ronde van Nederland bike route.

[@janeastropower]

Bravo 👏👏👏Awesome video, awesome person!

Nice. I love bike touring.

[@nateums]

dude! awesome composition on the video! im sorry to hear about the sepsis... i actually circulate and scrub those cases... I'm glad you recovered from it... and you have it figured out with constantly moving, that's the way to get into the zone/ flow

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank you and good on you for your work in the medical field, not enough kudos for the hard work you do

[@КостяЛопунов]

Short, but good one! Great camera work and interesting narration, thank you, Neil!

[@bazasmith]

Beautiful work, mate! You have put in the work to learn how to craft a good film and tell a good story - thank you for that! Your message is strong and clear - and I wish you many more kms ahead - with the wind at your back!! My first ride was the Cabot Trail when I was 22 in 1988 - then not again until I retired in 2022 and cycled across Canada with my partner and another couple!!! The bug lay dormant, it is now viral!! Good to know people of our vintage are realizing, sharing and inspiring others with their dreams - thank you for sharing yours … no telling how many people you got off the couch!! Well done!

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck in any future endeavors!

[@addvurtbikes]

So nice! I really want to get into bike touring!

[@disiplinadongsiklista640]

Love this! ❤Here in Philippines cycling is rising.

[@goldenearsvideography]

Would love to do the Phillipines, how is the riding and are there specfic areas of the country that are better than others?

[@scottbaker9200]

Well done sir!

[@thomashughes_teh]

I've had arthritis symptoms since I was in my 20's. Now 64 I've been riding a Cruzbike Q45 recumbent. I also have a tadpole trike for local rail trails. It really helps with the joints and numbness and gave me back bicycling as an enjoyable pastime. The 535 mile tour I rode in 2015 was supposed to be fun. Instead it revealed that a car collision I was subjected to in 2007 actually did more harm than first discovered. I had to stop short of my goal because whole leg numbness from a back injury made it dicey to rely on that leg for support when stopping in traffic. ( I fell over in front of a stopped car at an intersection, it could have been worse). Now I ride the Cruzbike for fun and the diamond frame for groceries.

[@markfeldman6509]

I am 72 and a tadpole Catrike rider now. I was a recumbent lwb 2 wheeler for years and found the trike to be safer, easier to manage and a lot more fun. I do 1000 miles per month on my two Catrikes and they are absolute life savers and quality of life enhancers. Traffic scares the hell out of me now and I am fortunate to live on Cape Cod with hundreds of miles of rail trails and segregated bike paths. I venture to Florida for winter riding for 4 months. This is a fabulous channel that I just found and I hope to explore its contents in depth.

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

[@THEBLACKANARCHIST]

Awesome thanks so much

[@pedalandtringtring]

Nice film

[@grenzenlosaktiv]

I Love this Video! Great Work. 👏

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank-you!

[@PromenadeMTL]

You should check out the trails in Montreal. Very bike friendly.

[@fortesfortunajuvat6782]

Glad I found your channel. I have had both of my hips replaced and I'm still trying to find the right saddle to use. What caught my attention about your video is it looks like you use one of the Brooks leather saddles. If so, did you settle on that one right away or did it take riding a few different ones before you made your choice?

[@princepage632]

how old are you dude? just asking. I love bike touring too!! keep the videos coming!! best of luck to you and stay safe out there!!

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thanks, I'm just drawing up a new screenplay for shooting in the coming weeks. I'm 71, but feel like I'm in my 50's.

[@mostlycycling007]

I thought this was a movie 🎬

[@dividenddaddy3769]

Wonderful cinematography. As a fellow Canadian, I want to get into bike touring. Any suggestion for resources for starters. I've only ever done organized week long bike touring where the company takes your luggage to the next hotel and they provide an app that maps out your route in real time.

[@goldenearsvideography]

Thank-You. Yes start at www.adventurecycling.org/ and I would subscribe and get their hard-copy magazine it's really full of great articles amd maps of most of the North American touring routes.

[@brianlindsay2727]

Jump on a plane to SEA, hoping to be there,once the floods recede.

[@Ataraxist]

V nice. I clicked on a fb post but when I got back, i lost it. Did you post it somewhere?

[@goldenearsvideography]
