Tiny House Bike Trailer Tour “The Shadow Explorer” | Dan Hurd

[@danjames4086]

Man, I love that setup. Too many immaculate fancy bikes sitting on top of cars these days. This bike tells a story in itself. Amazing

[@ridewithdanusa]

The piece I still have hangs on my wall as a reminder of those stories

[@scottlance2447]

Hurd has Angels with him. What a graceful person. Such gratitude. What a lesson.

Good luck with those killer hills bro the uk isnt anywhere near as flat as the us and I would expect a more lightweight version of this would be beneficial

@@wowrulerlvl70 Electric assist , I live in hilly area and I use two electric wheels and one pedal on my recumbent trike .Three wheel drive with a ten foot long trailer . The electric motors have one speed , on the level fast walking with lots of regenerative braking going downhill , jogging speed . Three disk brakes providing instant breaking . Two hundred watts PV panels on the trike and I'll adding 300 watts on the trailer . On sunny days I don't have to pedal , the energy is from the PV panels . Still working on the trailer , it took me 5 years to complete the trike . I may add electric motors to my trailer wheels for places like Cuba where the trailer would be heavily loaded with water and canned food .

This gave me hope. I'm currently going through cancer, chemotherapy and heart failure at a young age. My absent father has recently become paralyzed 2000km away. It's a tough fight, but I have 2 amazing daughters I'm trying to hold on for. Life is hard, and every moment is a struggle, but life can end anytime.

the ending is so heart breaking I was in a horrible motorcycle accident less then 2 years ago.. 7 shattered bones 5 crazy surgeries. (not at fault some idiot in a suv T boned me) i struggle with ptsd everyday. I'm not the person i was before. most days i spend hours planning how im going to end my life.. Friends are really trying to make my life better and show me what I have to live for but its not easy. not easy at all. I wish i could give the guy at the end a massive hug and tell him hes not alone. I miss the old me and i hope one day I feel like myself again. I'm not giving up and hope i never do.

[@sipapito]

I was in a showroom ready to buy a nice yellow bike but then someone said oh someone just took It for a test ride ,at that moment I got out of the dealership and left, never to buy a motorcycle because i know the day i do will be the day some idiot do not see me. hope things get better for you i will pray for you.

[@Ryan.Kooper]

@@sipapito Thank you. Things are getting better. I bought another bike because riding is the only time I forget about everything else going on. They can be death traps but I'd rather live then let life slip away.

[@sipapito]

@@Ryan.Kooper If that is what keep your mind from ,and I quote "most days i spend hours planning how im going to end my life"Than I can understand why you went and bought another bike, for me I settle on an Ebike and take my thought to the woods. Good luck!

@@Ryan.Kooper "not at fault some idiot in a suv T boned me" ...Just like the garbage truck, huhh? Doing 170kph on a blind curve with a 70kph limit ...but totally the trucks fault for pulling out in front of you, right. If you're going to run around doing two plus times the speed limit, don't be surprised when large metal objects suddenly materialize in front of you. 220kph down the #401 at night ...Reckless riders like you with no regard for others on the road deserve everything that comes their way...but hey, at least you'll be famous on the "Idiots On Two Wheels" channels.

[@mouse9665]

Thank you Dan for spreading the word on suicide awareness 🙏🏼 ❤. My whole childhood my mom attempted suicide at least 3x a month. She's still alive finally she got a Dr. That actually cared for her to find the drugs that work. I lost my best friend 7/18. I miss him everyday. But wow the end the man that needed to talk to Dan I pray he didn't follow through with suicide 🙏🏼.

[@stanleydenning]

About six years ago, I checked myself into a hospital because I was suicidal. Nobody talked to me. All they did was drug me up and put me in a room. I could have stayed home and done that. Then I was billed $25,000. I never paid for it. I refused to.

[@ridewithdanusa]

Things are changing though and yes things have been rough in the past.

[@adammacer]

Good for you man.. F*ck any system that 'cares' that little..

[@JohnHoranzy]

Modern US Health Care is for the stock holders, not the patients.

[@underthetornado]

Hospitals overdose all the time. I checked into a local hospital to detox off alcohol and ended up so overdosed that I kept falling down. Totally overdosed on ativan and antidepressants!!!! The medical field isnt educated enough to help alcoholics get straight. I almost died!!! Due to hospital negligence and they were cruel and disrespectful.

[@homelessmillionaire1]

Moral to the story, never voluntarily check yourself into a psycho ward

[@peterlido9501]

[@roguishowl3915]

Dan I just want to say that you sir are superhero with out a cape. I lost my friend to suicide, and there isn’t a day I don’t think about and miss him. But also myself suffer from depression due to medical reasons, and have gotten to a point where I was thinking about it. But I had the love of my wife, and parents, and was able to come back from that dark place. There are so many others out there that don’t have that love and support, and what your doing is a truly wonderful thing. Great work and love from 🇦🇺🫶🏻

[@DR-bp1yu]

Thank you for posting this and Thanks to Dan for doing what he is doing. I couldn't hold the tears at that man who reached out. How fortuitous for him to find Dan perhaps just in time to save his life. I understand that the suicide rate worldwide is at an all time high. I feel the kind of effort Dan is making is what is needed. A very huge hug, I will try to donate as I can. I feel for anyone contemplating suicide, but I have a very special soft spot for our veterans who deserve much better care than they have received. Thank you again for featuring this amazing man and his mission!

[@GirlOfZion]

Wow! Thank you for what you are doing.

He's virtualy parroting the World Economic Forum's communist agenda. Marxism always "sounds" like love and brotherhood, but that's the hook. Behind the scenes it's an entirely different animal. The international banking cabal merely tighten their Talmudic grip on the world. Nothing more.

[@applicablerobot]

I wonder if you could add an electric motor assist with a set of solar panels on the roof of the camper. With 200W of solar panels and a motor controller that supports regen, you should be able to have at least a 1/3rd hp motor powering the trailer. Shouldn't be too hard to setup a power assist algorithm with a hall effect sensor on the crankset.

[@Wardaddy51-50]

You will burn a small motor up, you need something that can handle about 1500 watts. I tow a heavy trailer with my ebike. I'm planning on building one of these, but I will need to add a second motor to do it. That much weight I will need up to 3 kilo watts to cross mountains.
