MO2W #32 - BICYCLE TOURING & STREET MUSIC (1/3)

[@markjthomson]

Busking is so much fun. As a busker, it is very honest, no one is there to hear you and if you can capture and hold their attention, maybe bring a smile to their day that is a win, and of course a tip form them is always appreciated. My daughter and I both play trumpet (easy enough to transport) and have a lot of fun with our "public sponsored practice" My daughter paid for a weekend trip that we took to Australia from New Zealand busking as well. I think the most impressive was a Kiwi guy I saw in Plymouth in the UK, he travelled the world with his full sized harp... yes harp (not on a bike). kudos to him, for me, I'll take something a lot smaller. Great video thanks. #alwayspaythebusker

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Yeah man :) that's right. Busking is truly a great thing to combine with traveling!!!

[@tonypaddler]

Excellent video, very enjoyable. Thank you very much 👍

[@MoselleMemories]

Outstanding. You are doing cool things. Love it.

[@briantyhy4880]

Keep on bike busking. Thank for posting

[@funnybones6131]

Legend is back 🎉

[@peterpan3053]

Thumbs up! Great to watch your video. Must be something inside your veins. :)

[@Zook500]

Dude, your videos allways inspire me to tour!

[@elezdi]

It is one of the most interesting, sincere and beautiful videos I have ever seen about bike travellin

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Oooo thank you so much Elene ❤️

[@timoweber143]

Danke fürs weiterhin Videos posten! Immer eine Inspiration

[@mart-singt3741]

Nice video, cool adventures! When I cycled around with my accordion, I found for busking the small cities working best for me, because they didn't expect music to happen there so I had mostly a small but very much appreciating audience, when I started to sing. I can imagine that this would work well for you, too, and propably they wouldn't care about your amp :) Anyway, you're doing a good job!

[@stephensheppard]

Really nice video, and excellent music.

[@monociclo]

so nice see u making new bike tour videos! keep going!

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Great stuff, man.....good to see you back on the track, despite the shitty weather🙂

[@copernicusvanstruselclit9508]

Awesome video

[@bikepackingadventure7913]

Would love to have seen more of the guitar factory. 🙂🙂

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Yeahhh I wanted to make actually more out of this visit but unfortunately I couldn't get the full on tour with more time and explanation by the owner because they were super busy. Next time maybe :D

[@johnhighstreet5199]

My god, you put so much effort into this, seriously impressed.

[@tucsonoldguy]

Looks like your knee is now completely healed. Good to see you touring again.

[@copernicusvanstruselclit9508]

The human body is capable of miraculous healing. Some injuries feel permanent but given enough time and recovery they will feel almost new again glad his knee health!

[@ist_doch_ganz_egal]

Ich freu dich wieder auf dem Fahrrad zu sehen und Respekt bei diesen Temperaturen zu zelten - freu mich schon auf Teil 2+3 und hoffe, dass du in den anderen Ländern mehr Glück bzgl. Straßenmusik hattest.

[@dropeipromundo]

very good Eric thx for share my friend >

[@neilwalton4474]

Hi again Eric, I'm wondering where you are now? I just wanted to tell you that I've watched , and enjoyed many of your video's. And, you've kinda inspired me to attempt an around the world bicycle tour. I've travelled alot with my bike, but absolutely not in your league . Most of my travels have been horseback. At this point in my life I feel guilty about making my horse's do all the work, hence bike touring. So, thanks so much, and I hope that one day our paths might cross . Take care. Neil.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Oh man, I‘m happy to hear that. Really cool to know that my videos made you go and explore on your own. I‘m sure you‘ll have the some of the most memorable time of the entire lifetime. Have a nice trip 🙏

[@Salam.Games04]

Very nice bicycle trip ❤

[@underdgk9]

So glad to see you on the bike again! I've got a few videos to catch up on. How is the knee holding up?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

So far so good, if I put my hand on my knee while cycling I can still feel it's different than before the accident and when I push too hard I can feel it also in the knee but its more a muscular/tension issue now. Could be some disbalance or I dont know...but I dont have actually an issue anymore ;)

[@EyMaxl]

Totally love it!

[@sirpaddlesworthiii5933]

I did this during covid when all the borders were "closed" except without the busking. Ive been past that exact house at 9:38.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Hahaha :D small world

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

Hi mate great to see your videos again, don't know why I wasn't getting them brought up but anyway how is the knee now good I hope.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Yeah I think its fine again :) cheers

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

@@MONKEYON2WHEELS I new it was likely to just take time , but don't really push it as the niggles of your knee mite come back its a weak point and unfortunately you need to baby it that bit now , great to see your back on the beast you look like your having fun again.

[@alkaholik7924]

quick frage mein freund.. how long would you take off to go from Kathmandu to Singapore? I'm thinking 3 months? I'm kind of in a good spot to do it right now what with not having a job or responsibilities and I've heard Jan-March is the best time because its dry season. Also wondering if you needed anything other than an eVisa to enter myanmar at the india border in Moreh? I heard somewhere there's another cash grab 'road permit' thing for travellers entering over land?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Hmm I guess 3-4 months is perfectly doable. The issue I think will be to get into Myanmar...As much as I know is that Myanmar is closed right now for foreigners. But I'm not too sure about it so maybe make some research. In terms of season I'm not 100% sure but in march it's already getting wet near singapore. In case that right then I would move the whole journey 1 month and start in December :)

[@alkaholik7924]

@@MONKEYON2WHEELS danke!

[@olafruiter4604]

Hi MO2W, great video. I am curious how many KM you do on average per day. I am trying to do a 100 but I am struggling to even do 80 per day. let me know thanks.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

I guess according to the statistics I average at 65km/day ;)

[@jamsaanich4993]

What kind of handlebars do you have?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Velo Orange Crazy Bar :)

[@rakeshkumarsingh6132]

Sir I meet u today in India in moradabad I also ask the channel name u remember?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

To be honest, a lot of people have asked me in Moradabad :) but I think yes

[@chaz2x2]

It always amazes me that they don’t want amplification anywhere.. sad 🎸🎶😩👊🏽

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

I understand the idea (to not create more noise in urban areas) but I think if the rule could be just balanced by allowing amp but to have a limit of loudness that shouldn’t be exceeded. So that at least very quiet instruments could be louder just to make it more fair and have a bit more of an acoustic radius. 🤷‍♂️

[@schwarzzelter7161]

Hi Eric (oder Erik, sorry :/), wo hast du diese coole Packtasche für die Mandoline her? Ist die wasserdicht? Wie auch immer, schönes Video und gute Reise! :)

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Die Tasche hab ich selbst genäht :) Ist aber an den Nähten nicht wasserdicht

[@schwarzzelter7161]

@@MONKEYON2WHEELS Sehr cool! Ich schlage mich noch mit einem übergroßen Kanu-Packsack für die Gitarre herum, funzt aber auch halbwegs :)
