Biking Across America (Part 1)

[@KaraandNate]

It feels SO weird posting part 1 of this series, because we are currently STILL biking and making more videos as we speak!! 😂 We’ll be posting one episode a week as usual, but in the meantime, if you haven’t seen our past adventures with this crew, I linked the playlists to all 3 below 😁💛 2020: The Colorado Trail 🏔️ kzbin.info/aero/PLirGII1_qwvuT3naosH4i018e0K8q158Z&si=Z69dJoXD_1gb6-wK 2021: RAGBRAI 🌽 kzbin.info/aero/PLirGII1_qwvvUm_lj0rDz0aW5SluWDK0D&si=t4VfJu5LBWIdKHLv 2022: Tuscany Trail 🍷🚲 kzbin.info/aero/PLirGII1_qwvtz0qtiyA7kAFi30Jt78Q9L&si=cBIRhDmPS1hFYxK0 I have a feeling this one will be the best series yet 😁🎉 ENJOY ❤

[@GoJolli]

Who’s the sore-butted, biking Mama posting the vids? Whoohoo! 👏😎

[@matthewcollins2729]

Please please put one of the vans behind the bike with the hazard lights on, so much safer and making others aware there is a bike ahead. Also the RAAM route might not be the best route as it is planned as the quickest rather than safest and more scenery.... I've done a bit of long distance cycling, so hopefully a little bit of experience. Best of luck.

[@Jkraftski2]

I agree. Stay safe out there and be aware of passing vehicles coming at you.

[@tomawen5916]

You guys are CRAZY with a lot of love and cheering you on!!! Good luck!

[@lizame65]

I love that we are sort of in more semi real time

[@Emilyb22_]

With Sarah and dusty, and Rick and Bec’s family you already know this will be an amazing video!

[@Richie-g7g]

Yep 😂😂

[@jillianhiatt2025]

Totally agree!

[@flyingthenest]

Ahhh cannot WAIT for this series! been keeping up on Instagram - I remember when the Pandemic hit and this was one of your choices - do Van life or bike across America - SO HAPPY we get to see both series now :)

[@kazzarazza8333]

Love your channel as well! ❤

[@elvaurrea2602]

These are definitely the most fittest most naturalest people of people xD

[@zaynestevens9889]

Hi I subscribed to you❤

[@jaytrock3217]

I would love it, just Kara voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard anymore.

[@emilyloh]

Love your channel too and u guys need to do a collab together 💕

[@gabi87486]

When they say “the dads” I think it too cute and brings me back to the other biking trip and when. Frankie and evie were so little.

[@Jillnomaha]

This all the memories! ❤

[@Griffis-]

Nothing hits like a Kara and Nate video on Saturday morning 😂

[@laurenwashington2590]

Right I’m at work all day and it makes me happy to watch them ha

[@Jule_Vlogs]

Saturday night? For me lol

[@dianamartin3268]

Now I can enjoy my breakfast in peace 🫶🏼🫶🏼 lol

[@rashondamcgirt]

Agreed!!

[@vickikendricks1605]

It's my weekly routine 😊

[@skyrose77]

Role reversal: I would be very interested in watching a video where Kara has planned everything and Nate has no idea and follows along like Kara does now.I’d like to see what Kara’s interests are in the travel space.

[@Adventures_Of_Tim_Jess]

That would be pretty interesting!

[@brynndally9869]

I like this!!!

[@lifewithlarsandsusie8315]

It seems like she likes the luxury trips. I’m sure she has been loving this last year with the more expensive trips!

[@sirenacarpenter]

This!!!!! That would be epic

[@kss8866]

Lol it doesnt work that way I feel. They use their strengths. Nate's is fixing, organizing..and Kara's i are calming, physically able to jang, ensure proper nutrition. Now seeing Nate do Kara's end hilariois.

[@TheJennifer1742]

So nice to see Frankie and Evie growing up❤

[@zaynestevens9889]

I agree with you

[@magalivanlandschoot6656]

Yes!, they changed so much

[@shannonvanduren5703]

"If this is how the first two days are like, I cannot imagine how many memories we're gonna have by the end of this trip." The most beautiful and profound way of thinking about life, and exactly why we follow guys and love watching you so much

[@deborahpaxton2574]

Nothing better than a new adventure with Kara and Nate, and let’s not forget the crew are back together

[@jessicafox222]

I love how Kara is still calling them "The Dads" which is a reference/throw back to one of their first bike trips 😊❤

[@rebeccapickering74]

Cool

[@bkcfarms6325]

I love that all of you just do it…no matter what the adventure is you all just hit it head on! And kiddos to Rick and his family for doing this as well. Those children are getting to enjoy things that most people only dream of. As a retired teacher - I must say this is the best form of education you can teach those kids! Book learning is all good and fine but day to day life requires so much more than you can learn from any book. Experiencing these type of adventures will prepare them for real life! Good luck to all of you for this trip! Have fun, enjoy and a big “WHOO HOO” shout from Knoxville TN!!!😊

[@hummingbirdenthusiast1481]

Love hearing this from a teacher ❤

[@lisaborden1396]

My aunt and uncle road a tandem bike from Anacortes, WA to Maine. The people they met, adventures they had and the stories they tell are amazing! They were in their 60’s! You’ve got this!

[@Zz2424zxcvbnn]

Frankie and Evie grew up so fast! I can’t help but to think Kara’s peanut butter ramen cuisine help expedite this growth spurt! 😂❤

[@flyingthenest]

YAY! Your journey videos are my favvvve! And I’ve gotta say sorry boys … but the girls are crushing ittttt!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@KaraandNate]

🥳💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

[@isabellaaguirre3865]

Yeah the girls did so good I think it's why the boys did as much as they even did the second day

[@takeabite3376]

Same

[@POLARBEARS_ARECOOL]

All the boys did was up hill tho

[@beafineman]

I love when a new challenge starts because I know it’ll be a good next few weeks of Kara and Nate videos

[@tandemdr]

We at PRECISION TANDEMS are really enjoying this special ride across America! What an adventure. Your hard work has allowed many to feel and live the experience, vicariously. Thanks for using one of our special lightweight and efficient aluminum triplet tandems...The best ride ever!

[@haylidouglas8179]

My 10-month-old who does not sit still for anything, sat and watched this whole video with me! We love your videos and can’t wait to see the rest of the series!!!! 🎉❤🎉❤

[@philw4625]

Climbing on a tandem has to be the hardest thing! Everyone imagines it should be easier, but it plain is not. Balancing different strengths, power, cadence preferences, rest cycles etc, not to mention the sheer effort involved for the pilot to keep it straight and balanced. Respect.

[@KaraandNate]

^accurate 😅

[@gosheryblog]

I honestly didn't want this video to end. Can't wait for part 2!

[@NardDogFPS]

I LOVE when they do stuff here in America with Van Life. Seriously since covid, they are showing me that there so much beauty here in our own backyard ❤️

[@jeffsteinmetz7188]

Your group van adventures are better than the plane/airport/hotel content. The camaraderie and adventure comes through the lens and is more engaging. PLEASE STAY SAFE!

[@rhi.123]

The dynamic between all of you is awesome! Loving these van life videos, the van life vlogs are my favorite!!

[@marywilson5192]

Doug is a beast!! 75 years old riding that one wheel 😳. That's awesome! ❤❤❤

[@biglee1399]

You guys are so blessed! The friends , family and of course having each other.

[@kieranstewart78]

This is gonna be an epic series, so looking forward to this! Hope you've had a blast on the road!! :D

[@Wanderlust550]

Watched this with my nine year old and she asked if I wanted to bike across Germany starting tomorrow 😂 She was so excited to see the all girl team take a turn🎉

[@ItsOhJoe]

So excited for this series! Biking gives you so much freedom, it makes you feel like getting anywhere is possible by just putting one foot in front of the other ❤️

[@themyersclan6506]

I started watching your videos exactly 1 year ago and can now say I have officially watched from the beginning to the end. I actually started with the Colorado Trail videos then went back to the beginning. How fitting that I end with the start of your ride across America! Thank you for being my escape from the stress of life. 🙃

[@jolenecrosby2116]

I love the chemistry between you all true friendship, family and love, lots of laughter and a cool adventure! Love you guys so much ❤

[@juuzies]

your biking videos are my comfort videos/favorites, I am so excited to watch this!

[@clm2417]

Now the rest of America is going to find out what we have known for years. How awesome Kara and Nate are. And of course Dusty, Sarah, Rick, Bec, Evie, and Frankie too.❤

[@Greysala]

Looking forward to the rest of the trip! Isn't Annapolis, MD on Chesapeake Bay? I thought the Atlantic Ocean was a bit farther east.

[@calenlas99]

Annapolis is, in fact, on the Chesapeake. To dip the bike in the Atlantic they'll need a couple hundred more miles to Ocean City, MD or similar.

[@laurenm8561]

You guys are all phenomenal human beings! Love the cookies, love the door smack, love the trust in one another to do this amazing journey!

[@DS_Rez.Løśër]

[@wallykramer7566]

If Nate and Kara Biking Across the U.S. were a professionally produced reality series, they could not have cast more a more ideal collection of personalities! From the enthusiastic yet nurturing ladies to the imaginative kids, to the sensitive but wanting-to-keep-in-touch-with-their-macho men, they are all very relatable. How do they decide who sits at the front? At the back? And when did they start? Will they be crossing the Rockies during blinding snowstorms? What if the Atlantic is icy and frigid when they get there?

[@soapygirl83]

I think Rick being the most experienced cyclist is in the front since he has to balance the three

[@nicolad8822]

They have 3.6 million followers, it’s a professionally produced reality series.
