Cycling 35.000 kilometers around the world

Cycling 35.000 kilometers around the world (S1E1)
Hi everyone,
Here it is, the long expected very first video of my grand tour. These videos will be a weekly update about all my adventures on and off the road. So if you're interested in following me, please consider subscribing to the channel.
For those who are new to the project; My name is Koen and I am currently attempting to ride my bicycle around the world. The trip will cover 35.000 kilometers, crossing 30 countries and 4 continents. At the same time I am trying to raise money to build a school in Africa. With 30 kilograms of luggage I will have to face steep mountain hills, snowy road, dry desserts and all other sorts of extreme conditions.

    Great video. I'm curious how much time you spend each day capturing the video content vs time actually riding. It looks like most video shots require you to stop riding, set up the camera , back on the bike, then back to collect the camera. Is there ever a sense of urgency to ride rather than capture content?

    More risk of head injury being in a vehicle or a pedestrian and yet we don’t force helmets on those. Why? Compulsory car helmets and walking helmet, if we want to use real evidence on the activities that have significant head injury risk far greater than cycling.

    @@bikepackingadventure7913 firstly, my comment was simply in the sense of using my own experience to offer a suggestion to a young man facing more hazard in his excellent adventure than any road cyclist . second, your statement about relative risk is nonsense and not borne out by any studies I have seen or by my experience: I cycled 17 years in London traffic and never once did I feel more safe than the pedestrians and car drivers.. Finally no-one is forcing helmets on anyone, but anyone who realises the risk and weighs dubious "freedom" against it will make that choice.
