Imagine my surprise to open KZread 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 .

Had a few rides recently that went well and have just started Zwifting … looking forward to getting back on the road next spring.

Been taking bike tours since 2019. I'm about to be 70 and still have plans. In 2021 I biked 2,000 miles form Buffalo NY to New Mexico. I met a lot of 60 year olds on bike tours. It's the last chance dance at our age. It kicks my butt, but it makes me feel alive and healthy. I love to find picnic shelters for the night. They are the best free hotels. Waking up in a tent in the woods is a wonderful feeling.

I am happy that I came across you and your journey, I have mixed feelings, one of sadness because it has been seven years or so! since I did some bicycle touring in Europe. I miss it so much, and now you have given me inspiration to get off my backside and pack my old tourer to the continent once more. I am 69 years of age but I know I can still tour. The other feeling is that your story has also made me happy and I find some parts very comical, especially at 19 minutes, with all those tractors whizzing by in the background, sort of like a motorway.

Never too late to start riding, Kathleen. And I wouldn't disqualify Australia for it. I've cycled almost 10.000km there, half of which between Perth and Melbourne, and I have good memories about it. Although that was 25 years ago and I might have forgotten about the tough bits. Don't know if I would still appreciate it now at my age, although I love deserts, the Outback, the vast open spaces where the roads are quiet... and I admit I'm thouroughly enjoying the comforts of the European bike infrastructures. Blessings! 🙏

Thank you Eddy for this awesome account of your bike travels. I like that you revel in the simplicity of bike touring and acknowledge how summer heat and riding hills affect you. I like how you travel solo slowly and quietly, walk up hills, are open to what the Universe provides, and are comfortable not knowing where you'll sleep at night. For me this is the essence of bike touring! Since 2014, I have been touring as you and Flavius do to many countries where I have met wonderful and kind people whose language I do not speak. I am 77 and crazy in love with bike touring. Bon voyage Eddy!

Indeed it is. 😊

Ik vind het leuk wat je doet. Ook ses-en-sestig, en ook en fietser mijn hele leven. All those trucks using what appears to be just a cycle path!

Thanks William. Keep on riding, brother! 😊

Hello Eddy. I am writing to congratulate you on your trip and your desire to share it. I liked your style of travel, the simplicity of those places and their people. Also the video is very inspiring. I have in mind to do something similar in the region where I live and then who knows, continue to many more places. I'll be on the lookout for a new video of your adventures! I send you a big hug from the Pamps of Argentina.

Dank je wel, Roland ! 🙏😊

Come to South East Asia for your cycling. 1. You cross through vastly different countries with different cultures (temples, mosques, etc) and sceneries (waterfalls, rice fields, beaches, mountains scenery, etc. 2. You probably do not need a tent or self cooking. 3. There are street food sold all over in each countries (hawker’s food, night markets, etc) 4. You can stay at cheap loggings or at temples (foc) especially in Thailand. 5. People are friendly and places are safe generally. 6. Start from Singapore to Malaysia, Thailand, Laos…and beyond. One can travel within 1 to 3 hrs by plane between these countries. 7. Welcome to SEA 🙏

Hello Eddy Thank you for this second video. Such joy. You have a unique skill with the camera but more so with your beautiful voice narrating your wonderful journey. The people you meet, and the delightful conversation. The advice iwhen asked “ follow your heart” and their advice to you. “ eat Nutella chocolate”. Priceless I am 75 and live in the UK but hope to follow my dream/heart next year You are an inspiration Thank you Anthony
