    10 Days Bikepacking In Tuscany – Along Eurovelo 5 Italy



    This is the full movie documenting my experience cycling through Tuscany in September 2021. Over 10 days I made my way from Marina di Massa all the way down to my end destination Rome. Sometimes following the Eurovelo 7, sometimes making up my own way to be able to stop and explore places like Pisa, Florence and Siena.

      Great adventure Mike. Just recently found this channel, have been watching a lot, I have to say, the production value has improved a lot compared with older videos. Keep improving and here's to more adventures in the future! Who knows, perhaps we'll meet on the road somewhere in Sweden. 🙂

      Hi Mikael, how nice to see you and your long journey toward Rome again! We hope to be able to meet again, and on this occasion we wish you our best wishes for this 2022, healthy and full of pleasant new bike trips.

      Hej Mike, Hope you are all well. This full length feature film is keeping me entertained on my long night shifts at work.
      I turned 50 this week, but everybody in my house has Covid (except me) so will be celebrating later in the year. Can't wait to watch your next adventures. Much Love Ed

      Thanks for sharing your trip Mike.
      Making these videos must be a lot of work. From stopping to set up the camera and filming yourself then returning for the camera. Plus the editing when putting it on Youtube.
      Have you ever had a camera stolen or run over?
      I hope you take us along on more of your .adventures.

    15. Brent Jennings on

      Hi Mike. Very well done! The attention to detail is awesome. When I watch this it is if I am along with you. Take care. I hope you will be able to make a trip down the pacific coast (my backyard) in the United States.

    18. stan kirkpatrick on

      Enjoyed it the first time, even better the second. Any tips on bike security in the villages when you want to explore the cathedrals, museums, shops, etc. Always enjoyable, safe biking.

      Italy is a beautiful place. Thanks. Is there anyway to avoid the roads with all the traffic? And how are they to cyclists on these roads?

    20. The Bucket List Bicyclist / Longboarder on

      What a great trip and video, Mike. Thank you for investing all the time AND EFFORT (all the time required to set up your video shots like riding down the hill only to ride back up it to capture the shot!) into making this epic video. It was so enjoyable to view. I got to relive some of my memorable travels in Italy through your video, but we traveled about Italy via train, so we didn't get the benefit of seeing all of the landscapes in-between the major cities. Ciao!

    22. Lukas Mojas Ernsund on

      Hello Mike! Super cool trip! We are thinking about doing something similar. Do you perhaps have a map for your trip? Also, we are a little concerned about the elevation gain/descent, what would you say is suitable for beginners? Thanks!

    23. Carike Schoeman on

      Wow, what a find. I’m dreaming about cycling from Pisa to Rome and so enjoyed your video. Would you perhaps consider sharing your route maps through any of the platforms such as Strava, Komoot or Google maps? Also love all the info added in your description, priceless for a novice such as myself.

      Loved the Tuscany video. I just got my own Kona Sutra the other day!!! What kind of helmet do you use? I want to buy the exact same one. Tom from Cleveland, Ohio

    36. Fish Dip on

      Fantastisk resa. Kloka ord på slutet här. Det är tyvärr många som inte inser det, att det är nära och kära som gör livet. 😀❤

    39. Dave Jack on

      1:04:59 "one of the best roads I have been bike touring on in my whole life" Ok, now i am really intrigued:). Actually, I am for sure going to be in that area but going south to north so I have been following your trip with some interest.

    40. Neil Walton on

      Hello Mike,
      I somehow stumbled upon your Tuscany trip video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You have a great way of keeping the video interesting and informative. Well done.
      Neil.

    44. JMJ on

      Hej Gissar att du är svensk på dialekten så skriver på svenska:) Tänkte cykla norra till södra Italien nu i Juni – om inte värmen i sommar blir för extrem. inspirerande resa du gjort! Tack! Hälsningar från Malmö. (Skåne runt är en enkel men högst trevlig cykelresa som jag kan rekommendera varmt…!)

      I have retraced your steps Mike! A year ago I planned my big European tour and I studied these videos, crazy to see the same sights and landmarks 😅

    47. Daniel Holman on

      Mike, really enjoying your tour. Texting you from the States. I also like to tour on my Giant. Thanks for the history lessons along the way. Eating along the way, you’ve made me hungry. Think I’ll go see what’s in my frig. Thanks again. Om!
