These type of films makes you want to get out on the bike; and do some bike-packing. Due to the pandemic, it will have to be next year.
Islandia o Lanzarote?
I see at least one Trek 1120, but no details of your bike or your companions' bikes? I have an 1120 and an inquiring mind. Factory spec drive train? Do you wish you had brought a fat bike, or are 3" wide tires wide enough for most riding there? Nice video, though.
Hi, dear Emily Batty, your video is amazing, would you want to try rechargeable hand warmer more convenient and safe than chemical hand warmer, we can send free sample, here is our website, https://www.ocoopa.com/, if you have interesting , please contact this email

That sucks to have to go through Frankfurt! Canada to Iceland isn't that far. But it is when you're going through Frankfurt!!! That's about 1,500 extra miles flown one way! The airline hub system has some serious drawbacks. And if we really care about climate change, we won't be flying people thousands of extra, useless miles for nothing. 35 hours one way? That's 70 hours round trip, THREE DAYS wasted! Plus, the travel means you're exhausted when you arrive, ruining probably another day just getting your bearings.
Iceland is an incredible country. Have been there twice when visiting family in Finland. Truly a place that needs no camera filter. I’m sure you had an amazing time
Bikepacking the SuperCaliber?! That's… well… does that bike even have enough mounts to carry all the racks and bags to do that? Did you find the geo a bit aggro for an longer journey like that?
Toronto to Frankfurt to get to Iceland? Wow.
How much was "speechless"? Norway is expensive, but perhaps Iceland is even more pricey.
You don't feel stupid taking selfies with slave masks?? It's stupid, wake up!!
Please please please don't travel and then enter a supermarket without a mask. You do not want to be the person re-introducing the virus after coming from somewhere else. Even if you got tested, there's a 5 day gray period. You might have caught it in the plane or in the airport.
No masks in Iceland??
Love the episodes! What type of Sony camera are you using for these videos? The quality and audio is fantastic.
wholy crap I spent all summer being miserable thinking i couldn't do any of this and here you guys are right in the middle of a pandemic. Amazing what you can do what you have the will power and determination. good job.
Why did you have to fly to Germany first? Iceland's a 4 hour trip from Montreal? Was that a cheaper route? I'm planning on going to Iceland in June, is this cheaper?
emilly batty videos. I like them. I'm not the only one. would love more of emilly batty adventures. XD
The wife of the dude is incredibly understanding. He has a baby at home and is taking off on a bike trip with a far more attractive woman! Wow.
OMG, I have NEVER seen Pearson sooooooooooo empty before! Looks like a zombie apocalypse is going on over there, ha
Watching it alwyas.
wow…inspiring. from India
Nice! I am going to be road touring there in a month on my tour bike. I would like to know which bike shop you reassembled your bikes at?
