Cycling the Austrian Alps - Our Journey Begins // A Bike Touring Short Film // Part 1 - Austria

As we are sitting here in Zadar, Croatia and are uploading our first travel video, the first month and first 1,000 km of our journey are already behind us. It's absolutely crazy how quickly time passes and all the things we have already experienced. We can't wait to see what the future brings and what other adventures, challenges and beautiful moments are to come.
Cycling through Austria was great fun and gently eased us into our world bicycle tour. The bike paths were great, people were friendly and landscape was spectacular.
...and we've come a long way since then! Make sure to continue watching our travel-vlogs to find out where we are right now.

sometimes you can glue the patch on an already inflated tire(if the leak is slow enough) it will also help center the patch on the hole. that helps the patch stretch less and also the scratched surface will be made wider with an inflated tire

[@Bernhard20Zoll]

Hello you two, I just looked again at how it all began. It was fun, thank you. Many greetings, Bernhard

[@arvinl]

Great scenery, I’m happy you got tire fixed. Safe travels & God bless 👍🏾

[@AdventuresWithDanaJodie]

Just discovered your channel while looking for ideas for possible bike tour in Europe in a few years. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures in other videos. Thanks,

[@RollingExistence]

Awesome, we'll be watching your progress!

[@louisaandtobi]

Thanks! :)

[@bundokerongmaniniyot]

I love bike packing. Sending my support from phillipines. Looking forward for more videos:) keepsafe.

[@DieterLo1]

Anyhow so many experiences, there should be lot of joy but also lot of hard and difficult moments. It needs much hope and faith to overcome all hurdles. Wish you all the best!

[@louisaandtobi]

Thanks 😊

[@christieogdenadventures]

Way to go guys!!!

[@MatHall]

Amazing and well made video you guys. Just watching on the tele on my lunch break. Will be binge watching the rest!! How amazing is cycling in austria :)))

[@MatHall]

Also, what method did you use to minimise wind noise. Your voices are very clear! 👏

[@louisaandtobi]

Hey, thanks! 😊 We use “Media Mods” on our GoPros that have better microphones and use the in-camera wind cut.

[@MatHall]

@@louisaandtobi love it. New gopros look unbelievably better than my old #3 version . Might get one for next trip..!

[@theunriddenadventures8126]

Great video! So exciting to see your progress 😊

Great Video! Looking to get into cycling as I live in a prime spot for this....

[@shaukatkhan1600]

very good bicycle adventure tour

[@DoriBoulean]

I had the same issue several times. And the solution was always the duct tape

[@satnamsinghsidhu2793]

Awesome Video 👍

[@SloMo2723]

Greeting from California. I love biking around Austria! At 10:49 of your vlog is a beautiful bike path. Where is Austria is this? All the best and thanks for posting this video. Cheers

[@louisaandtobi]

Hey, that is the bike path towards the “Grüner See” - so green lake in Austria, close to Graz.

[@khaliljardini2]

I'm from Morocco, I love all your videos, thank you. I hope you will only travel to the Kingdom of Morocco, a very beautiful country

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you! Yea, we would love to come to Morocco.. but it might still take a few years 😅

[@khaliljardini2]

@@louisaandtobi Thank you, where are you from?

[@Bikepacking]

Just subbed good video you should do gear list video it be interesting to see at the end how much it changes I am sure you replace that tent

[@louisaandtobi]

Yea, we have a photo gear list on our website already. We will do a video gear evaluation in a few months when we’ve used everything enough to give good feedback. Yea, the tent we will replace. :) but we thought we’d use it to get an idea of what exactly of a tent we want.

[@dattatraykrishnanathpatki4731]

Lots of respect and love to cute pair who are daredevils but cool Your video's are awesome with best music i wish i could also do some cycling around Great inspiration all the best Pune Maharashtra India 👌🙏

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you! 😊

[@AlanJohnsonSunbird]

We’ve been enjoying the videos of your journey and through searching found this one, the beginning. Is there a list in order or a way to now watch them in the order of your trip so we can follow your progress from the very beginning in sequence? It appears some are numbered but not all. Thanks.

[@louisaandtobi]

Our "Travel Vlogs" are all numbered and in sorted order in our "Travel Vlog" playlist which you can find on our channel. The two documentaries and "bikes & gear", etc. videos are not included in this playlist though.

[@AlanJohnsonSunbird]

@@louisaandtobi Excellent. Thank you

[@JS-ol7vu]

Suggestion: Write a book about your total journey. Include detailed information about places you visited and the routes you took. Include maps. Your trip is so inspiring! I want to go to the places you went and travel the same routes. I would buy the book and I think a lot of people would buy it also. The money you make from the book could pay for your home and allow you to spend more time traveling.

[@louisaandtobi]

We might! 😊 We have a few projects in the pipeline 😅

[@apaul1305]

Das Salzburger Land is halt schön!

[@louisaandtobi]

Ja, ist echt sehr schön! 😊

[@VivoJefindo-id4cj]

Next time to Indonesia tour

[@schwarzzelter7161]

Maybe you should consider investing the money you spend in hotels in a better tent? :)

[@schwarzzelter7161]

Oh okay, you were invited, didn't say anything (:

[@gretchen6768]

Hallo, ich wurde durch die ZDF Reportage auf Sie aufmerksam und finde Sie sehr sympathisch. Ihre Reise interessiert mich sehr. Aber alles nur in englisch ? Schade !!! Gute Reise und alles Gute 💖💖💖

[@patrykblog]

As I see you're going east. I'm going on my solo around the trip ride starting next year. I planned to go starting from poland > to croatia > to greece > via turkey > georgia > azerbejan > kazakhstan > uzbekistan > tajikistan > kirgistan but now after seeing what's happening in Tajikistan (related to the southern borders) I needed to rethink the path. I think I'll go through kazakhstan and into kirgistan > china directly without tajikistan. i'm afraid of the guys that took over the borders. What is your plan (if you're going east / not south) ? Could you share your plans as I might get some useful info from you that might get handy next year huehue :DDD

[@patrykblog]

ps. great stuff you made there. I can't wait for next videos :D

[@louisaandtobi]

Hey, thank you! Our initial plan was to head east along a similar route as you have described. However, we have seen that a few people who were currently also trying to head east get stuck in Turkey as all the following borders are / were still closed because of Covid (or other reasons). Therefore, we will most likely travel around the world in the other direction and fly / boat over to the USA after Greece. We hope that in a few years time, we will then be able to travel back from Asia to Europe.

[@patrykblog]

@@louisaandtobi thanks for the information. Good to know. I will need to re-adjust my plans also. Have a great and safe trip out there!

[@SNOWDONTRYFAN]

Flats , gets some Tanus armour inserts , plus good Schwalbe touring tyres, enjoy !

[@louisaandtobi]

Thanks for the tip, we had a look into it and they make interesting products. Might be a bit hard for us to get in Greece at the moment though!

[@apaul1305]

Schön eure Fahrt durch Österreich! Gibt’s einen bestimmten Grund, warum ihr die Kommentare auf englisch sprecht?

[@louisaandtobi]

All unsere Filme sind auf Englisch, damit wir unsere Erlebnisse international mit mehr Leuten teilen können. 😊

[@dermotpurcell8861]

Was really enjoying your bicycle video before you happen to mention the Needlecraft. Do people actually realise how dangerous this graphene oxide is in these so-called Needlecraft

[@louisaandtobi]

Sorry, we don’t know what you mean - can you explain?

[@thaihoang3053]

I wish you 2 have good time , good health to keep on long travel...best wish for you 2...

[@TheBakinb]

With all that baggage, what do you have for your gearing? Austria is not a flat country.

[@louisaandtobi]

Tobi is currently running 22-34 (front - back) and Louisa 24-36. We’ve progressively lowered it the past year and now have a relatively low setup for South America.

[@Bikepacking]

Go tubeless better
