It's a great trail. I rode it just a couple of weeks ago from Buffalo to Albany loved every mile of it. Well done video and thanks for sharing your experience there.

[@Tarukai788]

This was a great watch of something I've wanted to do for a long time, starting from where I grew up no less! Great video with nice snippets of insight into the various cities you stopped at!

[@TheDCShow0]

Thank you! I wish I could have gone deeper into some of the smaller cities along the journey. I'll have to revisit them in further videos.

[@voidgeometry794]

Congratulations! My grandparents took their boat from Buffalo to Albany in 1960. I have always wanted to make this trip myself.

[@TheDCShow0]

Thank you! Doing the trip by boat is certainly on my bucketlist

[@jesseoglidden]

Yeah, that's kinda different. They rode bikes. I'm not even kidding.

Thank you Dc Show, I liked your perspective of this trip, and the drone shots added.

[@TheDCShow0]

Of course, happy to share!

Amsterdam NY native here - this ruled!! So cool to see the aerial footage of all the cities along the way. Kudos!

[@TheDCShow0]

Hey thank you! I enjoyed my time on the bridge over the Mohawk there, I forget the name but I remember the vibes.

[@Karuglah]

Big shout out to Spunk Fitness

[@TheDCShow0]

Somehow there are only three Spunk Fitness locations, and two of them are in Maryland

Thanks for the great video! Do you think this would be a hard ride on mountain bikes?

[@TheDCShow0]

I used a hybrid bike. I honestly don’t know what it would have been like on a mountain bike

[@vanomadcyclist3474]

What size tires did you have?

[@MarcMallary]

Awesome! Some day I'll have to ride out from California to see if the legend of the Eastern United States is real, but I guess it would be hard to fake.

[@bordenpetrycia5364]

Is it possible to "credit card" the Erie Canal trail?

[@TheDCShow0]

you mean pay for everything by credit card? Not sure about that but probably

[@bordenpetrycia5364]

@@TheDCShow0 Im not a good camper, so Im interested in motels and Band Bs.

[@TheDCShow0]

@@bordenpetrycia5364 oh yea pretty easy to just go to hotels along the way

[@jesseoglidden]

This was a fun vid to watch. Thanks for all your efforts in putting it together and sharing. At least we know it's possible. Question: did you have to exit the bank trail for significant distances and ride in traffic? Whereabouts?

[@TheDCShow0]

Glad you enjoyed it! The trail is marked throughout the entire state, but some portion of it requires you to go on roadways, most memorably from utica to Syracuse there is a lot of that. A large portion is on gravel which isn’t the most pleasant surface to ride a bike on.

[@jesseoglidden]

@@TheDCShow0 That's good to know, and thanks for that insight. I'm interested in doing this with the wife on our tandem some day, but she really dislikes riding with cars. I don't care for it either. We may need to find some sort of portage arrangement.

[@iamtraveller444]

Hi friend how are you!

[@TheDCShow0]

Not bad thanks!
