Watch in 1080p! A ride along bicycle tour video of my solo London to Poznań (Poland) trip, going through Netherlands (Den Haag, Utrecht, Arnhem), Germany (Münster, Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin), and into Poland.
1488 miles.
I followed the EuropaRadweg R1 route for a big proportion of the bicycle tour. This route is otherwise known as Eurovelo 2. EV2
I only planned for London to Berlin, but once reaching the German capital I decided to carry on east so I could experience some of Eastern Europe. I ended up in Poznań, the fifth largest city in Poland, and one of the oldest.
And I hope you enjoy the video.

amazing, been meaning to do this 4 some time but have just made excuses.. how long did the whole trip take?
Bravo. Did you manage that while speaking only English ? or had you learnt some German before ?
Do you experience knee pain? I noticed you had a brace.
Great video! How long time took the tour and how long did you bike per day?
Great journey!
nice one….we toured Holland a few times cyclocamping…jealous of their cycling network though.
big thumbs up 🖒
Wow, what a great adventure and a beautiful video. I stopped dead in my watching when I got to 2:03 and your photo from the top of the Dom in Utrecht. I have one almost identical to it which I took in 1986. Best wishes and happy touring. P.S. Those sandy roads must have been a struggle.
Love this travelling videos! thanks for sharing.
What was your favourite place in this journey?

What an amazing tour I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video especially of Berlin where I grew up as a child. How long did the journey take you.I couldn't see what pedals you used. This may be a silly question but how did you get back home? Train or plane and how did you transport the bike and gear.
Great Video…. Makes me so happy to see you cycling !! Greeting from Germany
Congratulations for your epic travel in bike. What is model bike? Thank you.
Is this one way and train back?
At 01.46 is the replica of a Roman watch tower. These towers were overlooking the Rhine of Leiden. The ROL was the border of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago. On the other side lived the Batavians, which are now the Dutch. 200 meters behind the tower is the museum which is free. And I live 0,5 km down the road, so that's how I know this.
I love this video, because no talking, just footage.
What a fantastic video – brilliantly showing what's out there to see for anyone taking the time and effort to go by bike. Truly inspirational.
hi, where did you charge your phone?
Hey Rob, really cool video! I'm planning my own jaunt on one or more of the EuroVelo routes– hope I can document it as well as you did. Have a few questions, and hope you'd be willing to help…
* What camera and mount did you use? Seemed pretty flexible– saw handlebar shots, same handheld, shoulder mounted? (saw hair 🙂 Did you leave it running most of the ride, and use the best bits? If so, how many dozen SD cards did you go through?? lol
* What was it like camping? Did you have a hard time finding a place, or worry about getting hassled? Any sketchy situations, or advice you'd have?
* What's with the bear near the end? Having a dog chase you is bad enough but !
Thanks man, and congrats!
Be safe
Hi mate. I am planning on undertaking the same journey as you next month, but will have a slightly different finishing line (Zakopane!..aha). I was just wondering whether you followed the EuroVelo 2 cycle route and if yes, was it clearly marked most of the time? Your help will be much appreciated! Cheers.
Hi Rob what was your sleeping arrangements? I'm looking at doing the same route to Berlin but camping seems to be very limited in Germany. Advice would be very mucha appreciated. Thanks
super! mam plan tez podobna trase pokonac, moze w tym roku!
Great adventure and nice video but a little commentary would have made it a lot more interesting.
What a great trip! Well done! I would also like to go to Poland by bike ☀️😀🚲👍
Sorry mate, what software you use for charting your route on the map?
I take a sip of coffee while watching your video that the algorithm made me meet by chance. Before the channel opened, I had a good foreboding at the unknown excitement at the door. How did you have such a wonderful talent that is full of the mysterious charm of your video? Well done. The video I'm watching right now is the best and the best. In the future, positive energy will surely rush towards you, so please make more good videos of you in the future. Even if I don't have to rush, watching your video, I feel like I'm getting more and more loved, so my heart is very happy. Your video on YouTube that an algorithm has guided me. My heart is sincere through a precious relationship. I will give you praise and support full of sincerity.
Wow that is some commitment. Enjoyed seeing it.
Poznań is not Eastern Europe! Saying such a thing is the easiest way to offend Poles.
Another great video. The most I've cycled is 70 miles in one day. How many miles would you do in one day on average on such a long journey ?
Hi Rob, My son (17) is thinking about a similar trip (but even further across Poland) next summer. Would you be kind enough to be available to have a chat sometime to have a chat sometime to share your experience?
more like 1488 Kilometres as berlin is only 900k from roterdam
Amazing footage and quite an achievement! BRAVO! Well done
