I hope that the UK continues to treat you well. I wonder if your diet allows you to eat fish & chips and drink warm beer. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. Good luck!

The people in the UK were very friendly and helpful. I did try the fish and chips, but warm beer? Is that a thing in the UK?

@@PursuingMountains Traditionally British people drink Bitter or IPA which are served at room temperature. As the name suggests, they are a bit bitter so people who are used to drinking lager may not like them. I believe that Craft Beer is very popular in the US so you may be accustomed to their taste. A gourmet route across Europe sampling local delicacies (food, beer, wine) would be a treat!

Glad to see you two doing another tour. I really enjoyed your GDMB videos. In fact you inspired me to go back and try to post videos of our bike tours. ❤

Looking forward to watching your onward journey. Living here in the South East Coast of the UK and having not visited London for years its a little ironic that you being Americans have made me realise just how many bike lanes we have in our capital city. Just glad you didn't get your bikes stolen. Stay safe.

If you continue to Izmir, Fethiye and Antalya after Istanbul, you will see beautiful views. There are also great camping areas. I think there is a direct flight from Dalaman to London. Have a safe trip.

What do I do with the bike box at my destination? Dispose?

@PursuingMountains

8 ай бұрын

I am not sure. I’m guessing just to try dispose them. We didn’t have to worry about it because while we were setting up our bikes at the airport a man who worked there, asked to take them.

Oh my goodness, I ate so many of those Veggie English breakfasts when I was in England...lol.. I am kind of over them.

Really?! We loved them! I guess we weren’t there long enough to get tired of them though

I was wondering what you did with the box at the airport? Was the staff ok to take the boxes off you? Or did you dispose of the cardboard somewhere? Curious to know as Heathrow are pretty strict.

Nice 🙏👌👍🤔🤗

Is there a GPS route you are following?

We followed sections of some of the Eurovelo Routes, and had a general idea of the direction we were going, but usually just put the directions into Komoot and followed it. We made some modifications based on recommendations from people and whenever possible (especially in the Balkans) we would try to avoid busy highways.

National Cycle Route 1 out of London is not pleasant to look at and does not even have a good cycle infrastructure. I live in Greenwich and our cycling infrastructure is woeful in comparison to our French and Dutch neighbours. Though I hope you will have a great time wherever you go.

I'm surprised a member of staff didn't come over to you in the airport and charge you for putting your bikes together. Make up a new rule on the spot and then charge for it. Soon to be charging customers for going to the toilet and breathing their air conditioned air. :-)
