Uzbekistan - Travel by Bike | Cycling the World 34

Uzbekistan - Travel by Bike | Cycling the World
The sun is relentless and luck has it we find an abandoned stable which saves the day. For us a house for the night, first sheltering us from the heat and then from the spring rains. The next day we have to get some groceries and first it seems like there is nothing around but we find a little town and visit the local food market to stock up. The market vendors really like us being there but we have some mind wanderings about what it takes to film people we just met. We cycle through the backcountry where we meet more lovely and open Uzbek people and see how the famous ‘somsas’, a meat filled bread, are being made. The roads are getting busier close to Samarkand and Eric falls ill. When we ask a family running a bar if we could pitch our tent on their land we are immediately invited in and put up in a room to rest. The next morning we leave as almost part of the family. What an incredible hospitable place!

[@peacefulwife5199]

Such a fun video. The locals are all so thrilled to say hello. Wonderful hospitality, true human kindness with a dash of love. The produce, bread, everything looked delicious. With all of the biking you do, you can enjoy every food and not need to count your calories. I eat 1300 calories a day. Not much. With all of that great exercise you probably need 6,7 thousand calories per day. 🤣🤣🤗🤗🤗🦋🦋🦋🦋❤❤❤

[@WheelstoWander]

Haha, it's one of the main subjects we talk about daily😅 And yes you're right, it's hard to maintain weight, but we so try to wat healthy! So not too much cookies and cake...

Sunday afternoon, sitting on my ass watching Netflix and KZbin it's hard to even comprehend how tough it must be on the road all the time with wet clothing and little food.I once went on a two day trip with a tent and ended up renting a cabin....So kudos to you guys , you are great ,hope that you keep the spirit and complete all you have in mind and influence at least few to do the same.I for once I'm definatlly going for a walk in a park!With admiration and always watching Vlad...

Hi Mac Analista! The next one is almost up... Thanks!!!

[@buskees4436]

Hey Guys, Nice to see again that you still enjoy the things you're doïng! What strikes me is that the locals do have a very friendly appearance and it looks like they're never in a hurry... It's amazing how we westeners are predisposed about this countries and theyre inhabitants. Probably they are much more happy then we are in the "rich" west. Nice tot see you camped in that abandoned house, but I was amazed to see you still set up your tent while sleeping under the roof there would be a good and quick solution. I love this video's which tells the story of what is really goïng on in your journey and also telling about different kinds of people. To me now it's a bit of an evidence there are more good then bad people on this earth. I hope you will stay meeting the good ones E&M!! It enriches the experience of real living!! Love and greetings from Alkmaar, Holland Kees

[@WheelstoWander]

Hi Dad! Uzbek people are one of the loveliest on the planet. Hospitable, warm and curious! We always like being sheltered from the bugs, the tent is an ideal though sometimes humid option. Glad you liked it 😊 Next one coming soon, X

[@petesig93]

Great video showing the welcoming nature of the people. Loved that market. But..... Uzbekistan, and not a single shot nor barely a mention of Samarkand! Did you go there? What happened? Why no scenes of the Registan and other great attractions? I was SO looking forward to your impressions of this. And the next video blog jumps straight to Tajikistan.

Hey David, it's the best rain jacket I've ever had, great ventilation and still waterproof. It's from outdoor research, the technology they use is named 'torso flow'.

I see you're in Osh now. Do you stay in TES guesthouse? Every cyclist goes there. The breakfast is like in a five star hotel, and the coffee, LOL. Looking at you plan. It seems you want to ride across Kyrgystan and enter China from Xinjiang. The Chinese government is extremely suspicious of foreigners in that region. Be very careful when filming and taking photos. I strongly suggest you don't mount a GoPro on your bike when riding. If police sees it, it may be troublesome. Also, local police will want to install some apps to your phones and laptop. Eager to watch your next videos of the Pamir Highway parts. I rode there two years ago. By the way, the thumbnail of this video is perfect.

[@WheelstoWander]

Hi SpektrumB! We didn't stay at TES but opted for an RBNB. For us a little cheaper and the comfort of the whole place to ourselves to edit and other stuff! The Chinese visa was a bust... we choose to fly to Japan to try again in Tokyo, we heard great stories about people getting it fairly easy there. Thanks for commenting on the thumbnail, very helpful!! Next one one the way...
