[@retomanetsch80]

What a great video. These impressions, wow. You have the feeling of being there. Without the tired legs.

[@grahamhedges]

Of all your vids, Josh, I pretty much enjoyed this the most. You are so relaxed and happy.

[@Josh-Reid]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cairebrittobarletta]

incredible journey and incredible cinematography, cheers from Brasil

[@pyrkol]

Been exploring this island for the last 5 years, its a pleasure to watch it from your perspective. Great trip, and great work, you encourage me to do a bit more of bikepacking there.

[@nrgpup77]

Josh, excellent vid! I grew up in Castellammare! Miss it very much, Sicily is a special place

[@Josh-Reid]

It really is!

[@andrewschirmer3849]

[@Josh-Reid]

You two are great. Enthusiastic greetings from The White Monument, the Special Territory of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Stunning and most precious video! Thank you both for the joy hat shone through!

[@Josh-Reid]

Our pleasure!

[@Charlie-sr6dv]

Superb video. That has put Sicily on my want to bikepack list!

[@Josh-Reid]

Please do!

[@elmo24de]

Wow. I spent most of my childhood-summers in the area you were cycling through. Seems I should rediscover it again by bike. Thx for sharing.

[@Josh-Reid]

You should!

[@999shaznay]

Well that was an absolute feast for the eyes to watch Josh. Pieced together beautifully.

[@cowymtber]

The "Magna Via Francigena" is a 9-day christian pilgrimage hike from Palermo to Agrigento. I slow rode it in 2019. Second stop was Corleone. Ate at your pizza place :) Prizzi, on the mountain, not to be missed. Agrigento incredible temples. Also, you may want to go check out the Trans-Sardinia also. I rode it south to north, from Cagliari to Olbia. More mountainous, remote than Sicily. Cheers.

[@Josh-Reid]

Ace. Will take a look at those for a return trip one day.

[@LeslieT]

Yes Helen, cold pizza for breakfast is always a great idea!!!Especially when it’s an authentic pie like that one 😃

[@Josh-Reid]

So true!

[@sanaallbikers7209]

I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this for us! And I hope you are doing well! Working hard makes you stronger! That's what you are! And Never give up! Keep going because you are great! And you got my full support!

[@ericpmoss]

Fabulous! I spent a month in Catania, and one in Siracusa, and one in Palermo, but it never felt safe to cycle from city center to the quiet country lanes, so I didn't. This makes me want to try it again, with a bit more courage.

[@bruggnputzpepi4353]

😍😍😍 we were there in autumn 22 and wanted to do the sicily devide. unfortunately i had to stop after the second day due to a slipped disc. the food and the people are great... we will certainly try it again

[@Charlie-sr6dv]

Superb video. That has put Siy

[@olivierconte1244]

À very very inspiring video trip. Thanks for this sharing moments

[@j.schaefer5622]

Very nice video. Beeing a few times in Veneto, Umbria and Lake Garda I can imagine how good the food was. Very friendly and sweet people there….

[@mariospenard5125]

Sweet ride! 🥰

[@danielesparpaglioni2315]

Sicilia luogo incantato .. Greci..Turchi., Spagnoli hanno lasciato una Energia ed una signorilità unica AMUNINNI FOOZZA!!

[@daniloambrosi4234]

Nice, nice, nice. Very nice.

[@Doppelrad]

Hi, which tire width did you use for this trip? Is 40mm enough? BR Andreas

[@Josh-Reid]

I used 45mm a Hutchinson Tundra on the front and a Touareg on the back

[@SanKapil-vn8wf]

Thanks for sharing

[@olivers6715]

@ josh Do you have the route saved on Komoot that we could copy? I am planning to do the trip with my partner in early 2025. Thanks a lot!

[@lagnuso74]

You've been on my side. Too bad I didn't know this sooner

[@peternaughton3301]

Enticing video Josh and good camera work. How many kms did you cover and how on earth did you guys seem to have the roads to yourselves? Anyway, I enjoyed that you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Josh-Reid]

The trip was just under 500km. Not much traffic on the broken roads of Sicily. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@dejost3488]

Living my dream

[@KameelMotionFit]

Could you share the route ?

[@sharkmentality9717]

As though you drive around in a van, pop your bikes out and film. The Days van-bike rides end at hotels planning tomorrow.

[@tiktak22]

Can you post your route please?

[@InHomeHappy]

Would be a dream ❤ who is Helen to you ?

[@marcknight4568]

Sicily was settled by a huge number of the top artisans from Italy. That's why everything things looks so zen.😮😮

[@MegaNaseem786]

I was in Italy last August pisa and Florence

[@vladywashere]

but that's just a tiny slice of the island. And you didn't manage to go over the common places.

[@j.r.newton2427]

Trap A Nee ?

[@MrDirizhor]

Great video, great views, but... I haven't seen any bike PACKING, to be honest. So.. emmm... rename it, maybe?

[@jimbojet8728]

Where’s all your gear? You have a couple of very small bags, but not sufficient to be bike packing? What’s going on?

[@Josh-Reid]

I was carrying a bag on my back with all the camera gear and we were also staying in hotels. I have plenty of experience in roughing it so nice to do a trip with a bit more luxury.

[@swell_tuna]

Enjoyed the video but I don't think Sicily is a country.

[@cb6866]

He he he

[@tednruth453]

Say that to a Sicilian......😊

[@kayo7082]

Aaaaahhh, that video sucks. It just put another place on my list. Nevertheless thx 🙏 😂
