The richest people you will ever meet don't have millions of dollars. If you asked me this guy is a spiritual billionaire. Great work man that is truly uplifting to watch.

[@thatguyonabicycleofconsurv3908]

That is a wonderful observation you are 100% right he is a spiritual billionaire I've never heard that before and that's you are so right on

[@loh.22]

Dalton K too bad most of us are spiritually poor and just plain broke. If only uplifting experiences could pay our bills.

i agree what an awesomely brave young man he seems so blessed with an adventurous and kind spirit....

Hello Iohan

Him: ''So what do u want to say for the movie?'' Legendary guy on the back of the truck: ''Wazaaaa''

[@scottbartlett4853]

How do you reconcile when such inspirational people can no longer find the will to continue?

[@richardp6461]

I don't know. I would have bet on Iohan in any situation. Calm cool collected. It sort of make you feel like there is no chance for us mere mortals. His inspiration will have to live on with us. I know it does with me. I have put the date of his passing on my phone set to remind me every year. I guarantee there will be a memorial ride for as long as I can. Sleep in peace Iohan. August 19 2021☮️

[@josephhaddakin7095]

[@Gmanndogdeguy]

How could anyone watch this and not say something about the trek. Being born in western Canada, I've been to most of the places this guy has but in a climate controlled truck. To do what Iohan has done on a bicycle, especially in the Yukon winter is nothing short of incredible. Thanks for sharing this and planting more adventure seeds in my head.

[@pycpenn]

Most were speechless.. . hard to describe the feeling when watching.. .

[@kishascape]

Yeah I would skip most of the crazy far northern stuff and just start following his journey from the White Horse. Wasn't too bad from there on.

[@kristinemunholland8980]

how terribly sad that he was hurting enough to end his life...such a beautiful, kind soul....his foreshadowing w/the comment, "i know things will always work out in the end, maybe someday they won't...."....my heart hurts

[@jennifergreenberg7742]

Agreed. Such an incredible journey and a sad ending.

[@MrDaveB123]

My heart aches as well watching him but he has motivated so many including myself so he should be proud of his accomplishments and the rich life he lived.

[@TheGeeoff]

This is one of the best bike touring videos I've seen. It really captures the zeitgeist of the adventure. But now, in 2021, the ending is sad.

[@johnhill9921]

GREAT documentary my friend. I did a cycling trip around Europe on my own in 2008 - cycled for 7 months with a tent, a camera and a change of clothes. To this day it was one of the most freeing and amazing experiences in my life. I didn't quite have the same dramas with ice and bears but still had some tremendous lows and even more tremendous highs. It was partly a journey of self discovery for me - asking myself questions that I've never asked myself and meeting the most amazing, friendly and giving people on the planet. For me it was a profound chapter in my life that opened the gateway to the next phase of my life. SO glad you were able to document your journey on video!!

[@mindfever6285]

Didnt you hate the traffic?

Have you got any advice for someone planning the same? Planning to go next year so some pointers would be awsome. Im gonna make vlogs the whole way so could make for some great content i think
