Cycling around the world on a bicycle: the highlights of our ride

Highlights from our 2014 cycle ride around the world. Watch our adventure by bicycle unfold over the course of 234 days on the road as we travel across the world from London to Miami. We had never done any cycle touring before, we just learnt as we travelled. Hope you enjoy it...

Well done Guys. Millions dream about such adventures but only a very few does it for real. You can call it a Real Achievement of a lifetime!

[@JonathanVelasCaba]

He visto este vídeo tal vez unas 500 veces y aún me genera buenísimas vibras cada vez que lo veo, este vídeo fue mi escape en una etapa de gran lucha en mi vida!!

[@TheRealSmiTTTen]

This deserves such a massively larger audience. You guys are legitimate heroes.

[@kraftdinner4202]

I am a cycle tourist as well... I have to say that it gets very addicting. Day after day cycling, even during the bad days, you just want to keep going.

[@julianjdogg]

I know that feel too. Gotta keep moving. That's life.

[@guenbarnes1659]

I love the “ragpicker” shirt, Og Mandino all the way.....thanks for sharing your adventure and inspiringly reminding the rest of us to get out there

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

This has really inspired me...to stick with the internal combustion engine lol

[@rdkuless]

Great images, movement and music.. BRAVO..!

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Still the best vlogs out there on cycling, bar Iohan.....never get tired of watching them and listening to the top notch narration and story line.....:-)

[@Asscrackistan]

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.....the second best time is now mate. If you're serious about it you are only limiting yourself by not doing it.

[@salmonella508]

Finally a bicycle touring video that doesn’t sanitize everything. Apparently there are problems other than an occasional flat tire

[@alanwaterworth6464]

hey guys, I just watched the whole series of your trip, epic journey! You did really well to keep your motivation and spirits up. Would be interested to hear more on the planning and logistics, I´ve done plenty of touring myself around UK and Europe but a RTW trip has eluded me so far due to time & financial constraints. You have the makings of a decent book here I reckon :) good job

[@TheexitplanSe]

Really nice video!

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Still the best bike road trip vid series I seen in YT - and I seen a lot - thanks guys, your documentation was and is a huge inspiration on a daily basis......:-)

[@andrewsteer2603]

Amazing.

[@ianhamilton7147]

great video guys - impressed. can i ask what bikes you used please. thanks

[@emiliosgregoriou8943]

I'd really love to do long trips on a bicycle (maybe not as long as this lol), but every time I entertain the thought, I inevitably think of how on earth will I support myself financially for that long and how am I gonna find work after I finish. I'm still in High School btw, so I have no clue what sort of job I will end up with by then.

[@Gelu_1965]

RESPECTTTT!!

[@716tommo]

epic ride and experience I bet! highlights? low times? what route did yous take? fair play for quitting your jobs and doing it...so many want to do this .....but cant. Am looking at doing this in 2023.

[@iamandreja]

3:50, is that a Kalimba instrument? Inspiring video!

[@paisano85]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@PedalPowerTouring]

Cheers fellas! I know this is an older video, but it just popped up in our feed today. Good stuff cycling the world, but what was your rush? We spent nearly 2 years cycling about and you guys did it in 234 days! Dang that is like race pace!! Any plans on future long distance touring? I know when we returned home, we had our sights on Alaska to Argentina within 3-5 years. We are approaching the 4 year point after returning home and although we still talk about the Alaska to Argentina ride, it doesn't seem to be as much of a burning desire as it once was. Anyway... maybe we'll find our mojo again and hit the road for another long distance adventure. ~Ron

[@HansensUniverseT-A]

I've been fatbiking across Norway, where i come from, this summer i'm going on a tour across Europe, looking forward to it, practically just waiting for the spring to settle.

[@spencerdodds2207]

looked amazing! I cant work out if it was two or three of you on the trip?

[@Chairboys]

Chapeau! Kudos!..Thoroughly enjoyed watching all your videos. Interested to know if you went back to the ordinary rat race '9-5' when you both got home? Or did this open a few other doors?

[@WilliamFrazer]

Adrian Simms Thanks Adrian. Unfortunately we're both back in the rat race in London. Kind of necessary though as need the money. Not sure how long we'll last before doing something else though!

[@andrius00]

@@WilliamFrazer First of all, respect for bravery. Secondly, you're lucky you found a friend to do this together. I have two questions. 1. What are the chanses of me dying if I go alone? (kidnap, murder, wild animals, etc.) 2. It's been 6 years. Did you guys go on some other big adventure?

[@misiekvuychik3768]

Angry dogs chasing me in Bucharest too.

[@KamalHaz]

Interesting. I am planning to do a world cycling tour starting July 2016, How did you guys manage to get all the Visa and governmental permits? How much you had to spend? How much time did you spend on getting these permits?. It would be of great help if you can post a reply!

[@Llynus]

Love the video man. I'm thinking about doing something similar, what was your rough route? Any roads that are must ride and any that are must avoid? What would you give as an estimate of total cost excluding gear?

[@cubbykovu8955]

Did you ever go because I am also thinking of doing this

[@naaiiilllll]

Wait, 14 liters a day?!

[@himalayanbiker840]

Respect bro you inspire me can you suggest me bike long rides i am confused between montain or road bike

[@Justin-bc8gi]

Hey wiliam! I was just wondering how did you afford eat during the trip? Were you making money while traveling?? Nice trip by the way! You inspire me!

[@RonaiHenrik]

Was it worth it? I mean quitting job, leaving friends, family, financial security and everything behind. I'm 20 at the moment but I'm planning to do a ~1000 km bike trip first (Budapest-Krakow and back, through the Hight Tatras) but after that I might actually go on a longer trip as well. Would you recommend against it?

[@WilliamFrazer]

Absolutely, go for it. Best thing i've ever done. However you are nine years younger than me and I would always advise getting some experience under your belt before heading off around the world. Do your Krakow trip and see how you go. If you love it then use it to see what doors it might open...

[@Anand1089]

How did you sponsor such a long trip ? And what do you guyz do now ?

[@chiefmangas2367]

Are any type of road bikes good for traveling across Texas? I'm from el Paso and I'm planning to go to Houston on bike

[@jacobtaylor4258]

SAVE THE RHINO, heard it all now.

[@cinakakar197]

The title made it clear that he is cycling around the world on a cycle otherwise I would have thought he is cycling around the world in a plane or a car or a boat 🤣🤣

[@Tackleberry666]

good job

[@strawfrog1995]

But how to leave everything and do this? Where would I live by winter,where would i get the money from if i am not working?

[@jfvanschalkwyk]

You have a website that shows your route etc?

[@PavBryan]

Like your feed :)

[@김지영-r1h2m]

Awesome!! You guys think a girl can do that? I am worried..

[@Jonayofsweden]

How many flat tires?

[@ThEsOuNdInYoU]

[@MrSmoothasf]

bet those credit cards were slammed by then end

[@bush696]

Fair play although 2 fit guys cycling is not the same league as the British woman that ran the world aged 60 !

[@JohnDoe-mm6kj]

Its a shame you missed out many amazing places such as Iceland, Greenland, Russia, the Himalayas, Mongolia, the border between China and Kyrgyzstan. You really should have went to South America.

[@michaelarmstrong4556]

TheBlackRussian Are those the places you went when you cycled around the world?

[@JohnDoe-mm6kj]

Michael Armstrong no... but in the near future I hope I can do such journey.

[@JohnDoe-mm6kj]

***** no... by near future I don't mean in a few months time. Maybe in 3 to 5 years time.
