Did you know that Australia was recently ranked the 6th best country to travel by long-distance bike travellers? 🦘
I made a video about the other top-10 countries here: https://youtu.be/tu_abG1PxQI
Great video. It’s sad that you can’t climb Uluru any more. However, these two don’t look like anything ever makes them sad! Thanks for sharing!
Highest quality videos on bikepacking available. Goat
14:09 so happy you got to enjoy the genuine Australian experience
Alee, I am not much of a cyclist but I watched your videos. You are one hell of a content creator. You narrate well. You have a distinct tone, much like David Attenborough and Iain Stewart have their own unique thing. Great job, Boss!
the feeling of happiness and excitement are contagious by watching this piece of art, cheers mates for making this incredible video! good on ya cobber!
I was wondering what Laura and yourself think of the Priority 600, it appears to be reasonably priced and equipped for a pinion gearbox bike, thanks in advance for any thoughts.
This is great for so many reasons and it feels particularly good to watch it on a cold, rainy day. Also great choice of music, especially the guitar bits!
Awesome trip! 👌
Who needs bikes , when there is 4WD `s 😂
Found your show by accident and just give it a go. Great job guys 47.21mins and didn't skip a bit. Love the fact that you guys are so positive in everything that comes across. Love it, deserve a subscribe 🙂
So beautiful!
It brought back memories from the Australian outback – a very special place!
I saw randomly this video and i watched. It shows many things also everyone understand and see different things, i love the videos like this one and i hope for myself make trip like this one and lastly good luck guys!! <3
You both are a real team with an adventurous Spirit. This filming is very impressive showing many angles and details and the beauty of the Australia outback. Thank you, cheers from Oregon USA.
Great video guys. What camera are u using? How did you manage the charging? Have subscribed. Look forward to seeing more of your journeys. Cheers. Ross.
that's a crazy-small chainring she has on her bike. I get it, there's an internal-gear hub on the back, but I suspect there would be slightly less efficiency losses if the multiplier wasn't as high (not as high an internal gear being used).
Amazing views , the sculptures alone the way wow incredible
Fantastic videos, as always. You guys should make a cooking booklet for vegan cyclists.
Love to hear your thoughts on the priority 600x. Only found Van Duzers reviews. See some weird comments about the bike online. People seem very sceptical but from what I see it looks fantastic. People seem very concerned with weight but from what I see it generally is only about 1.5kg heavier than a titanium pinion equivalent.
Watched it twice fantastic would love to get a copy of the Route that you took keep up the good work
Wonderful video! Have you done an article or video about Laura's bike? It looks very interesting.
Inspiring. Great presentation. Definitely a bucket list item. I'm thinking of doing the National Trail in future. Please do it and make a great video of it!
Great blog
She is beautiful and i love to see , she's enjoying😊
Am a bit puzzled about the amount of water you had to carry. 30 liters would be 15 two liter bottles and would be very heavy.
And leave no room for food. You must have had some back up how else did you get the drone shots.
Amazing… Just an amazing ride👌🤝👏👏👏👏🚲 and now I know that your biggest catle stati on is bigger then my country 😲🤣😬( slovenia)
wow great your using gates belt also, it is so difficult for me to find this model with rail in the center of carbon belt in indonesia
Wow, amazing trip!!!❤🙏🏽
Great video, well edited and narrated. Looks an epic journey, I move to Oz in 10 weeks, so just finding great places and things to do.
I'm going there in a year. How much was the helicopter ride? Cheers from Miami
How could your tires can survive on a very long trip
This was a beautiful trip with fantastic pictures. Thanks for taking us allong. It gives the feeling that you have to grab your bike and start riding right away. Greetings from Switzerland!
Great video!
I know this is not specifically a bike packing video, but one of the DIY design specs I'm concerned about is lead-bearing strength of wheels. I weigh close to 300 lbs and if I want to bike pack or carry cargo (or design a cargo bike) I'm concerned about wheels that will support sufficient weight. Are there specific rims and spokes that I should consider for the highest weight capacity?
Only just found your channel and absolutely loved this video ( no shits if an making coffee , yay ) , seriously I so enjoyed your video and have utmost respect for your travels .
Why is her bike seat too low?
What time months did you guys do this trip ?
Hello, what kind of equipment, clothes of which companies do you use in your bike trips.
Amazing video yet again…
How did you camp safely away from Sankes and other predators?
Greetings. Is that a priority 600x I’m seeing in the video? I’m on the fence making the purchase. Thank you for sharing your journey in life with us.
It was soo Amazing
Did you just use regular tires with tubes, or did you use liners and slime?
Nice videos!
I need to get out of here 😅
So much better with two , magpies lol 😂
Respect to the elders + the Imperial Hotel, a huge dam, cattle grazing, and trucks = bullshit.
Only 8000 meters climb on a trip of 3000 km. That's extremly flat. On my cycling trip around Tasmania I did 8000 meters climb on a trip of 1000 km 🙁
Food stock…..where's the meat????? Besides that what an amazing drive.
Amazing video ✌️💪🤘
And I have a question:
Why her bike looks larger in size compared to ur bike while u are considerably taller than her?
Yo Alee, where is Essh?
What an amazing journey, thanks for sharing it with us. And thank you for your respect to Aboriginal names and art.
