Central America By Bike, Board & Foot [EP.16]

[@danielhennings3352]

Alee! What a treat! Your video's are such a huge inspiration! And the quality just keep getting better! Been following since the first episode of your American adventure. Its been a wonderful series so far. Im in love with your narration and the way you document the environment and I'm amazed by the commitment in all the bike shots you keep on capturing - i'm sure you would travel far longer without them, but we wouldn't get a sense of the skill required in traveling these parts of the world on two wheels. My Girlfriend and I went on our first bike travel this summer. From our home ind Denmark to the mountains of Norway and back. The trip would not have been the same without all the knowledge, tips and tricks from cyclingabout.com. Keep up the good work! Your an inspiration to all cyclist around the World Kind Regards and a merry christmas from Denmark!

[@Cyclingabout]

Daniel! It's comments like this that make setting up my camera hundreds of times per month, worth it. I'm so stoked we live in a time where we can pool resources and inspire each other to go out and see the world by bike. All the best from Guatemala! ⚡️

[@MrChangCJ]

ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING. And amazing one-man camera work!!

[@Cyclingabout]

Thanks so much!

[@nicholashannah]

You are absolutely making some of the best cycling videos out there. Love your energy, and the details you include are brilliant.

[@outbackwack368]

Stunningly beautiful! I wish I was there with you! Thanks for sharing!

[@swiss882]

Bloody hell! What an amazing way to explore the world. Enjoying your videos a lot. Looking forward to bike my own trips. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@VesaGuardian]

Volcanos! How cool!

[@poe5418]

What a great package you put together for us all! Music, footage, commentary, editing. That lava at night was amazing. Such an interesting series of videos on this channel. Thanks

[@Cyclingabout]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lizflem]

I'm from to El Salvador, but i loved Nicaragua. Congratulations for this video. It's amazing!

[@jamesporter5630]

Great episode. Central America looks beautiful through your lens. Thank you, ride safe.

[@Cyclingabout]

Thank you, James!

[@joeripronk9711]

Deep deep respect for you sir, just amazing what you do. I did bike from Barcalona to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Switzerland. That is so much easier that what you are doing.

[@PumpkinVillage]

What natural beauty. Your videos are truly outstanding as is your bike. Maybe one day!! Take care and safe cycling,Al

[@Cyclingabout]

I hope you one day get to experience the world by bike! 🙏🏼

[@gonperes]

WOW! Your filming crew is amazing 😉 Thank you for another epic video 💚

[@pascallachance6000]

Alee, again a top-class video mate. Can't believe you've pushed your rig up on those volcanoes! Rocking your sandals sliding Cerro Negro, we burst out laughing. Good on ya!!

[@Cyclingabout]

Cheers! I've only got one pair of shoes currently, so sandals it is! 😅

[@MegaGordzilla]

Love watching your vids Bro, music choice is superb too!!!

[@ralf26]

one of my favourite episodes! Love it.

[@Cyclingabout]

Thanks Ralf!

[@HENKKIJFF]

Beautiful!

[@joserivera8966]

I enjoy your bikepack videos. I would like some day bike to some of the Latin American countries. Especially Central America (Guatemala) where I grew up. Thank you for sharing and keep biking

[@vincentmartin7612]

I don't know if the transition between the cobbles and the bread at 14:50 was volontary or not but it was great either way !

[@scotchmist_]

what a beautiful episode!

Thanks so much!

[@Shooterthecat1]

Awesome!

[@Andy-sj2dv]

Superb !!

[@Cyclingabout]

Thank you!

[@drfdwf392]

I think you might enjoy cycling the Philippines. Like: Batanes, Mt. PInatubo, the Cordillera region, etc. Towns, islands, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, scenic views while cycling or hiking or swimming, and other stuff.

[@dave-leeconio4489]

Amazing videos. Going the opposite way next year starting in Anchorage, Alaska. Hope to have half the adventure you're having.

[@Cyclingabout]

That's awesome! Good luck with the prep, and you will 100% have the time I am having if you challenge yourself, take some risks and put yourself out there. 👍🏻

[@StepoutandExplore]

Nice one, Alee! For us the Acatenango hike is one of top experiences of this journey (we didn't have such violent Fuego eruptions but still). Speedy recovery and if you need anything, we've got friends in Pana.

[@Cyclingabout]

Thanks guys. Acatenango is definitely the best thing I've done in Central America! I was so close to doing it again... 😊

[@jayrfin1]

wow!

[@fabrizioprisinzano367]

MAN I LOVE YOU! I have nothing else to say :D

Nice video Alee! At 10:17 i saw a riksha (tuk-tuk) :)

[@ianmatlock1]

Really Great videos. Honestly don't understand why you don't have more views and more likes.

[@Cyclingabout]

Thanks! Glad to hear you like them. 😊

[@jameshunter6762]

Another excellent video alee

[@Cyclingabout]

Many thanks!

[@josie9295]

New subscriber here! Enjoying your adventures giving me ideas for my next one! Keep up the amazing videos:)

[@mikedeal7457]

Wow

[@Potz4pizza]

The real MVP's are those fenders for not getting stopped up with mud.

[@Cyclingabout]

The fenders almost never clog up (2-3 times in 2 years of off-road travel). Pretty sweet!

[@Rausgefahren]

Really nice Video! Where are you actually right now? We are in mexico city, heading towards Guatemala! Would be cool to meet up! Thanks for the inspiration, we'll check out those volcanoes for sure! :)

[@Cyclingabout]

No way! I'd love to catch up with you guys! I'm resting at Lake Atitlan until the end of the month but plan to ride to Mexico City from the 1st of January through to mid-February. Hopefully, see you out there. 🤘🏼

[@Rausgefahren]

@@Cyclingabout We'll manage! I drop you a message on instagram!

[@juliustravels]

Breathtaking views of the volcanoes! I want to go there sometime in the future. What lenses do you use with your G9?

[@Cyclingabout]

I just use a 14-140mm Panasonic Lens. With the G9 in-camera stabilization, combined with the lens stabilization, it's an awesome nature-videographer combo!

[@juliustravels]

@@Cyclingabout Nice, it sure looks professional. Excellent work!

[@Cyclingabout]

@@juliustravels Cheers!

[@garywilliams7086]

I’ve just discovered you channel and straight away really enjoy it. How often does water become an issue? I imagine for me it would be constant thorn in my side. I’d also like to know where you source your music from, I really enjoy it

[@Cyclingabout]

Water is almost never an issue. There is a tap in every town, shops attached to houses, and rivers in between (I filter my water). You can find the music sources in the video description.

[@noice9709]

Really enjoying your Americas videos. Just found your channel. You get some amazing camera angles of riding and scenery. Love your videography style and narration! S. Patagonia was incredible!!! I'm definitely going adventure cycling! What tires do you like the most, btw?

[@Cyclingabout]

Welcome aboard! It depends on the tyre width and terrain. I think the Schwalbe Almotion is the best touring slick, and the Schwalbe Mondial is the best touring all-rounder. The Vittoria Mezcal Is my favourite fast-grippy MTB tyre. I'm currently testing the new Schwalbe Hurricanes, we'll see how they go...

[@noice9709]

@@Cyclingabout Thanks Alee! You're the best! Just watched your Volcanoes video, and now your Peru Divide ... Great life decisions! 😀

[@menoahgunzel8146]

Hello Alee, your video's are such a high quality! it's very motivating i can't stop watching your videos. i would like to do a world tour on my own after graduating. how do you fix food when you are in the middle of the nature? and another question: you broke some bones couple of times but who helps you in the middle of knowere? you are a boss cycling thru places i diddn't even know existed! best regards, Menoah Gunzel

[@Cyclingabout]

I just calculate how much food I will need in between shops, and then take extra. I had people from a nearby village help me when I fell off a cliff in Peru!

[@meinegutejonas5554]

Can you make a video. How you plan your routes? Which material do you use like apps or maps. Thanks. Have a nice ride by middle America.

[@Cyclingabout]

I just look for the smallest roads and trails across countries! Normally following mountain ranges. My navigation app is called MapOut, but I use Maps.me in cities. 👍🏻

[@meinegutejonas5554]

ᴄ ʏ ᴄ ʟ ɪ ɴ ɢ ᴀ ʙ ᴏ ᴜ ᴛ Thanks 👌

[@morganqaz]

Always top quality! Thank you What helmet do you wear in this video?

[@Cyclingabout]

Thanks! I'm using the Abus Airbreaker which is working perfectly for me. It's under 200 grams and really well ventilated.

[@shannonholyoak2650]

Just curious, what tent are you using in this video?

[@Cyclingabout]

Mont Moondance II

[@AnonymousPhucker]

What is the tent youre using ?

[@Cyclingabout]

Mont Moondance

[@billiken27]

I've noticed that you don't use front suspension while traveling. Is that for weight saving?

[@Cyclingabout]

No, it's for simplicity. I ride a lot, so I would need to service a suspension fork a lot if i wanted it to work well.

[@tlf.]

Finally

[@asianfoodhop5908]

Hi, what kind of bike r u using?

[@Cyclingabout]

KOGA Worldtraveller-S

[@karllorossanodasilvarossan8708]

👍👏🙏

[@abdelkaderdada9892]

A question I wanted to ask a long time ago, is there no risk in crossing these roads, drug traffickers.. etc.

[@Cyclingabout]

I've never experienced anyone with bad intentions on the roads I ride. Unsavoury people can be anywhere, but the backroads are 99.9999% just local farmers who are busy doing farming things.

[@abdelkaderdada9892]

@@Cyclingabout Thank you for taking the time to answer us, it's kind of you.

[@offcourseisofcourse-travel3264]

Where do you suggest to ride in south/ central America in 6 months of time ?

[@Cyclingabout]

OFF COURSE IS OF COURSE - traveling the world Depends on the type of roads you like to ride, for my style of travel I’d do Northern Argentina to Ecuador again in a heartbeat! Six months would allow you to experience most things.

[@conormurtagh9614]

the itchy feet are real after watching this

My dream is for you to give up your professional cycling career and travel the world with me. I don't care if it's an unrealistic dream. x

[@luisLP5752]

Did he just leave that gate open? They’ll be wondering who left the dogs out.

[@Cyclingabout]

No, I swung the gate back to where it was when I rode off.

[@luisLP5752]

CYCLINGABOUT I enjoy your vids I was in awe about that volcano spitting in slowmo

[@johalun]

How good is your Spanish? I assume you must speak the language quite well to be able to travel like that, or?

[@Cyclingabout]

It's not great. Just enough for basic travel communication.

[@johalun]

@@Cyclingabout Thanks, good to know! I'm thinking of starting to learn at least some basic conversation skills. That would enable me to travel the South/Central Americas more freely I think.

[@rabaditareq]

Are you a Sagittarius?

[@superwag634]

Glad you didn’t bum to death like all those people in the New Zealand volcano the other day.

[@Cyclingabout]

Super Wag RIP 😔

[@horaciodedona3912]

you should trade your bike for a 4x4

[@Cyclingabout]

I'd like that sometimes!
