Thanks. I agree, it's an awesome spot smack dab in the middle of an awesome continent for cycling.

Hello Roland. I really enjoyed following your trip through Slovenia. As a local, I can say that you have perfectly presented our beautiful country. The rest of your travels are also very pleasant to follow. I really like your style of video production. I wish you all many more safe kilometers on your bike.

Hi Kathy! There are so many great choices in Europe. It's hard to choose! Wherever you decide, we hope you have an amazing ride!

What a lovely country to share with your daughters. I have done supported tours where you bring your own bike. And they were excellent and not expensive. Looking forward to the next adventure. Cheers 🌞🚴‍♀️🖖

mosquitoes have really become a serious nuisance in recent years. especially since there have been tiger mosquitoes that bite even during the day and are inaudible and still small...they don't buzz. thank you for your visit, nice words and nice travelogues. see you in Slovenia

Thanks for joining us. Appreciated your on-the-ground expertise. Hope to get back there someday!

We did a similar tour maybe with the same operator. Orange bikes. They gave us each one small pannier for day stuff, jacket, etc. Some interesting directions but nothing really crazy. Agree that riding thru Lublijana is tough. We had to cross the city with the morning rush hour traffic on a tiny bike path with tons of people rushing to work. Felt like freeways at home. Loved the alpine meadows & quiet villages. People were friendly & interesting. Highly recommend.

Hello Angela, thanks for the tip! Our original plan was to start around May 1, but we were forced to push it back to mid- August, so I guess it all worked out! Happy trails!

East Slovenia is also great for cycling. Also renting good bike shouldn't be a problem. Strange you had bad experience with your bikes. East Slovenia is better with bike paths. I enjoyed your videos from Slovenia.

@@TheBicycleTourists I cycled in Vancouver. 6 weeks cycling in Vancouver from 3rd August to 20th sept. Due to the forest fires raging there I could not go to many areas. But since my daughter stays there, I also went to Jasper and Banff. If you go there, don't miss out on Banff and Jasper. The sights you'll see there I doubt if you'll see anywhere else.

Why are you wearing a stocking over your face at some point in the video? We don't do this here :D Slovenia does not have an ocean - we have the Adriatic SEA. Otherwise, a lovely video :)

In the actual vlog we mention that those are bug buffs - a net that you pull up when the gnats and mosquitos get really bad (when we were riding between Skofja Loka and Ljubljana the bugs were REALLY bad!). And, yeah, ocean/sea, it's all salt water, all ocean water. But, yes, properly called sea.

@@TheBicycleTourists I must have misheard. I live in Ljubljana, but I have never seen anyone wearing a bug buff here. Didn't know such a thing even exists. I cycle a lot and always wear sunglasses to protect my eyes. As for gnats, I just keep my mouth shut to avoid the unwanted protein landing in my mouth :D Mosquito repellents are a must here, though. I use a natural spray with essential oils that smells nice to me, but it keeps other bugs at bay too, not just mosquitoes...

No, my daughter designed and made the bugbuffs herself, for her commutes from work on hot days to keep the gnats at bay without adding a heat layer. They work amazingly well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKNt1rWum7rTgMY.html
