Just like the previous film, this one is also about the beauty and simplicity of bike travel, probing for the drive behind this kind of adventures, and with a wink to the drive behind the lives of the people crossing my path.
The basis of the story into which all this is woven, is my recent 7-week bike journey in June/July 2023 out of Donauwörth, Germany, through a corner of Austria, and on into Czechia and Slovakia. And from there all the way back to Antwerp (3.335 km).
Just like the previous film this one also follows more or less the chronology of the journey, but is not a travel report as such, rather a kaleidoscope of impressions and observations along the road and of interesting encounters with other people.

You have one of the best videos on YouTube with a real to life love affair with a bicycle and adventures to ride to new places. 👍👍
Thanks for bringing us along on the journey. Hope to see more. Thank you for sharing 👍🏽
Excellent and very well made, love the narration and all that is being said. Greetings from Oregon state USA.
Delightful. Many thanks, until next year.
Excellent video, May I ask what bike you are riding on. I am just curious. thanks and I will look forward to next years video as I watched your last one last year. I am 71 and would love to go with you but I have a bad hip that restricts me.
Another beautiful film! Enjoyed watching the previous one. Keep on riding Eddy. Love from the Netherlands
Another wonderful video!
I have heard all about cycling on the Danube, but have never seen photos or videos. It looks like a "must-ride" to me!
Thanks for the journey 😊 I will be riding the Tweed Rail Trail, in Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia for my 65yr birthday this October. I have a new ebike, a Bianchi ❤. I have done 1000kms in 6 weeks of training. 😂 hello from here.
Yeaiii!! Another wonderful video Eddie!!Thank you, we do some shorter travels here in Canada but also with camping adventures along the way, on our bicycles of course!! I really enjoyed it fellow rider!! warm hugs from Canada.
Very nice video… you have a new subscriber from Brazil. 59 and also crazy about bike travel.
Hi Eddy. Thank you for another inspiring film. May your wheels forever turn beneath you. Take care.
Your channel is such a breath of fresh air, keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks Eddie! This was every bit as good as the last one. At 71 I am still on the bike, though just locally right now – no more than a thousand miles over the course of a year. I have been thinking about a long trip in the United States – next year may be perfect. Thank you for all of the interesting people and your inspiration!
Bravo Eddy!
I'm so glad to see that you published another video. Just as with the previous story, this is inspiring and beautiful at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks mate, I have been looking forward to your follow up video. Wonderful again. Please take care and happy trails.
Funny I struggle to ride at home in Scotland always finding an excuse not to ride but love being away riding/camping where I have no decisions or distractions . I always go for a few weeks as I'm very slow and head for flattish routes like the Mosel in May/June and southern Italy this October. Funny but I was planning on the Danube next year. I can't think of anything I prefer to do as you return feeling so much healthier. I certainly miss my commute to work but not complaining! Well enjoy.
Imagine my surprise to open YouTube and see your video come up . I so liked your first one so had to sit down and watch this non stop . What a wonderful story teller you are and I always like your interaction with people you meet along the way . Plus us (old people ) can so relate to you . I am now 80 yrs .young and still riding as much as possible , got 2,500 miles so far this year . The one thing I remember from your first video was to take time to make love to Mother Earth and I try every ride . Keep the wheels turning .
Another awesome video Eddie ! I clicked on it straight away , keep them coming 🚴🌄
