A story of adventure, friendship, love and dedication that embodies their philosophy and unique lifestyle as they immerse themselves in dramatic landscapes.
///
À travers le film The Slow Lane de la réalisatrice Alexa Fay, partez à la rencontre de Pierre Bouchard et de Janick Lemieux, un couple de cyclistes nomades ayant pédalé plus de 200 000 km depuis 1990 et passé près de 14 ans sur la selle de leur vélo. Alors qu’ils entreprennent un voyage à vélo dans l’arrière-pays du Québec, ce documentaire retrace leur histoire, leur amitié, leur amour et leur décision de parcourir le monde, de la ceinture de feu volcanique du Pacifique, jusqu’au continent Africain.

Hi Pierre and Janick😊 your Première video moved me a lot. It leaves a philosophical power in my heart. Your space/time is so unique. Every time I see you again my heart is so full 🥲. Congratulations for everything you do, for the quality message and this unwavering lucidity so sought after in this era of global insecurity and/or carelessness. You are in my eyes and surely those of the Gods, true citizens of the world ~

Awesome, video. When I was young I did several shorter Bicycle tours by your standards, but had a great time. Tour of Ontario and Quebec 1975, Cycle Canada 76, (anybody remember?) Tour along the West Coast of the USA1977, Alberta down into middle Montana1980,. Stopped and did many forms of bicycle racing. Edmonton to Jasper 2014, and we started doing parts of the KVR. Bikepacking is more our cup of tea for sure nowadays. Keep riding and HAVE FUN!!

If this isn’t inspirational, what is? I have .never thought about cycling at “my own pace” before….I have been a cyclist for years, mostly MTB, but have recently bought a e-bike because of my health, my spine is beyond repair and at 57 and using a power chair when I need to walk anywhere like a supermarket, cycling allows me to still feel independence, to feel that connection with nature, and with myself. I am lucky enough to live in the Shropshire hills in the UK, granted it’s not the wilds of Canada or Africa etc, but it puts me out there enjoying the natural world even though I am disabled….so thank you guys for such a wonderful film 🤙

[@SCOTT-vm5nj]

Very nice. Just wondering about the money? Now and later?

[@cyclovolcanique]

Making a living-on-the-road by sharing little discoveries and adventures, scenes we witnesssed and experiences endured while riding out there, living on the road, in the form of: published articles, school and public lecture series, trading products, services and sometimes cash from relevent industries companies in exchange for testing, exposure, editorial/pictorial materials and endorsement, trading services needed for the ride with exposure on on blog, ...we enjoy sharing ALMOST as much as venturing! Always room left for more creativity!

[@paperjourni8964]

great story! To the man who said ‚I don‘t know anyone who travelled that long on a bicycle‘ - please learn about Heinz Stücke.He has left Germany by bike in 1962 and travelled the world by bike for 51 years!!!

[@mattiasandersson2315]

Exactly,, Heinz stücke is the most travelled man in history by bike !💪👍

[@paperjourni8964]

@@mattiasandersson2315 sometimes I feel like peopel 'fight' over records that the real ones get ignored or washed away. So I don't know how someone from a velo magszines says something like thst without obviously checking fact because 'since the 70s feels so long'

[@mattiasandersson2315]

@@paperjourni8964 i don't want to take anything away from them,, their journey is without a doubt a a great feat few people have done so it's very impressive for sure ,,but i doubt anyone can beat Heinz,,he have the years ,and miles,,he's great, amazing man!

[@irisgallati]

I think this guy meant that IN HIS PERSONAL ENVIRONMENT, he knows no one else who has been travelling by bike for so long. Does not mean, there IS no one else. 😊
