Bike Touring Year in Review 2024

[@WayneDang74]

12:34 that little shack was one of the greatest things I came across on the KATY. I was hot and tired on my very first bike trip and an ice cream samich is exactly what I needed.

@@WayneDang74 YES! And there isn’t a lot of options along the trail. I bet if other people did it the empty areas they’d do well

@@stevekistler8970 I had it check Out probably ten years ago and the person acted like it wasn’t worth doing, and someone tried to say it again but i had done research and found out how important it is to breath through the nose. The recoup time sucked, but being able to breath is totally worth it

Biking is the best! It's slow enough to be fully present and fast enough to get places. You had a great year you really got around! 👍

After buying several pair of “winter” gives that weren’t warm I finally found a pair that worked when it was below freezing and now riding in winter is a lot more comfortable.

[@TheBane1979]

@@danielholman7225 yea, if you can keep your hands and feet warm that’s a big part of it. Bar mitts work when the gloves won’t!

2024 looked like a great year. Thanks for the beautiful photography, it makes me want to get out there. I rode the C and O and GAP the third week in August in the same direction. I am also an old cheep bastard so free camped and cooked all my meals. Did you hit the hike and bike detour? Happy trails.

You need to have a T-shirt made that says, “I like my cabooses natural.” 😂 I’m a big fan of your editing and videography… but you already knew that. The cool thing about being a cyclist KZbinr is…at the end of the year you have a video record of all the fun you had. Even the Type II fun. 😏

Yeah, walking is too slow, driving is way to fast and bicycling is just right. I’am glad you’re riding some in winter. It’s just buying the right clothing- warm layers, warm gloves and I have a winter hat that covers my lower face - nice.

@@gravelrider5612 what shots are yoh referring too? When I’m biking past the camera?

[@gravelrider5612]

@ when your holding the camera and filming out in front of you. It seems when other people use the GoPro or the 360 it goes in and out of focus when pointing it out front of them.

[@TheBane1979]

@ I don’t really like the action cameras, I have one; but it doesn’t have the same film quality. I’m using a dji action osmo 3 for most of those shots
