      Yep, takes a little practice to get them legs used to biking, especially uphill!! Too bad about all that trash blown all around… I wonder what they're doing with it up there. If it's a dump site that defeats the whole purpose of having a car/motorcycle free island – so not to pollute on one hand, yet dumping crap on the other hand. Anyways. Cheers from Canada!

      Pure aluminum would be much too soft to form into a bike frame, so it's mixed with other elements to alter its physical properties. In fact, all metal bike frames are made of alloys for the same reason. Steel is itself an alloy of iron, and titanium is predominantly alloyed with aluminum and vanadium. Greetings from IL, USA.

      Element titanium is very abundant, it takes a lot of effort to refine and process into the tubing used for bike frames. It is relatively hard to work with, wearing out tooling more quickly and requiring a controlled atmosphere for welding. All of this drives up its cost significantly.

      However titanium genuinely provides a frame for life. It is incredibly hard-wearing and corrosion resistant, which is also why it is often left unpainted. It can be made to have very high strengths.

      Gabriel you have extraordinary stamina, strength and balance. You seem so healthy and strong, to be able to focus while peddling up steep hills with one arm holding the camera. Incredible! I enjoyed the trip, thank you.😊❤

      One of the best blogger I love. You live your life a stress free man. I hope I can do that also. Please try to come here in Philippines man.

      Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy a camera holder on your head, because it's only a matter of time before you fall and end up in the hospital 🙊

      Amazing how you keep balanced with packs and camera. Also raise your seat for a longer pedaling stroke. Better than short choppy strokes

      Local authorities : ok we can dump all trash right here no-one is going to find them anyway…
      Gabe : hold my bike…

      No biking on Hydra please! This place is not for vehicles and to keep as traditional as possible. I liked your video as I walked that last summer! Below was a swimming area, very peaceful!
