Why I Bike Tour - Erie Canal Bike Path

Here is the final video in my three-part series on bike touring! This time around, I included a lot of music I wrote and recorded myself. Also included some songs from some special people (links to their music down below).

Marina, your video was delightful! You didn’t just show us the trail as many do, you told a story with many chapters that told us about you, your experiences and how to fall in love with life. I’m almost 80 and you, quite a bit younger, have inspired me to ride and shared your heart. Thank you!

[@73akazen]

Thanks for sharing and inspiration. Things are simple at heart and most people spend more time waiting for perfect conditions rather than starting the journey. You don't need to travel long distances or have the perfect equipment. The most important step may just be the one that gets you out of where you've been.

[@robertjohnson855]

Make more bike camping videos plzzzzzz. I've watched this half a dozen times, along with a bunch of your other videos. You make such gentle sweet fun content

[@GamerKidEdits]

Thanks for the smile. The world needs more of you.

[@marinakhananayev]

Thank you for taking us along. Be well.

[@peterbaskind9872]

I love the old Cannondale. I have done a couple of retro-mod builds on those bikes. They’re great.

[@P.Ttrying]

G'day Marina first video, niiiice 👍 New subscriber. When I return home in a few days from my own little adventure (day)37, looking forward to seeing your other vids. Such wonderful positive vibes for us mere mortals who DONT pound out massive miles (kilometres for me) Peace 🕊️ love and gratitude P.T🤠🦘

[@jonnyvonwallstrom8795]

This is great, make more of these! Used to love watching Iohan Gueorguiev before he tragically ended his life. I think it would give it more depth and drive if you infused more of a classic storyline to it with a clear goal and many many obstacles on the way that transforms you and keeping it tied to that. But this is already really good so don’t loose that for the sake of a clear story :)

[@jimgadsden2459]

I don't know about falling in love with the world? In one sentence, it puts me in the moment. Good job!

[@thegiantswordworkout]

I need friends like you! Your so adventurous!

[@jame397]

Her Simplicity actually makes her video very attractive and her as well❤

You are amazing. I watched it till the end and enjoyed every bit of it. I am planning to ride the Erie canal trail this May.

[@Shuna2011]

Watching from UK. We are planning our next tour. We can only take 2 weeks at a time but love every minute of it. 🚴‍♀️😊

[@henryguthery5311]

[@bobette00]

Ok, thanks to you, I have to do this now. I think I'd like to ride from Toronto to New York. I'd love to see a map of where you went, Please?

[@justyouraveragejoe7359]

Great tour. Love your style. Would love to see more. P.S. Cannondales rock😀

[@rickute1458]

well there you go, both my wife and i cycle tour to get away from people, we on go out of our way not to talk to people, we would rather spent time looking at nature and spent time with animals, we bike tour to get away from all of our responsibilities and we never want to come back, but sadly we have no choice.

[@HaiTran-xt7rf]

20:56 hey, love your vid :D

[@BT3701]

This was different but enjoyable. The video gave me a sense as though I was traveling with you. BTW, where did you find that small swimming hole at the 10:00 min mark? That was cool.

[@betholdrich2246]

Love how you did this video. Very interesting.

[@marinakhananayev]

Thanks Beth :)

[@rearlight]

👏👏👏🚴🇧🇷👍

[@Mike-vd2qt]

Nice video series, thanks! I'm going to ride this one in June. Did you find the campsites ok? Like water, bathrooms and porta potties? Does the train run next to most of the campsites? Edit to add, great ending thoughts to your trip. Bicycle touring doesn't have to be monumental, a night out, a weekend ride across town, anything works, any pace, as long you have some fun. Old cycle tourist here, you're a sweetie, happy trails!

[@marinakhananayev]

Hi mike! Thanks for the kind words :) so many great campsites along the way for sure! The locks are a great place to camp since a lot of them had porta potties. Plenty of water since a lot of the trail goes thru little towns (I mostly filled up at gas stations or little cafes). Most campsites did not have loud trains I would say. But if I did it again, I would check the map and see how close the trains got to potential camp sites.

Mrs Harry Potter goes bike touring.

[@FiftiesForward]

Wish I was younger 😅

[@putrantoutomo5410]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦾 you’re not flabby 😄

[@ramsien]

Yeah man, don't cross the trail geese, they will mess you up.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Because bus fair is expensive...

[@anneliesevoelker2502]

People are running over cyclist. I have already been hit twice. Once by an ebike in Alabama and once in Oregon by a truck
