And I thought I was badass riding across my city in a single speed.

You are Brodie

I love it more when I'm alone so I'm giving this a shot. I just bought my first bike at age 19. I went for a very basic single speed hybrid bike with a steel frame and 700c x35 tyres. I'm really looking forward to this new journey I'm about to begin.

Loved the interview dude! I went around Australia on a fixed gear. Now thinking about going round the world. Good to watch some inspiration of people take the next step above. Need to go through your other videos!

@@josephxkendrick correct me if I am wrong...you used a fixie with brakes..front and rear....not like the traditional ones without brakes.

I have rode on several bike trails with a single speed steel frame fat tire bike. Originally I was riding my single speed with a 18T cog and after going thru 21T, 22T, 23T, 24T and eventually ending up and currently riding around on bike trails with a 26T cog. I love the simplicity and low maintenance of the single speed bike. You are definitely an inspiration to me and please keep up the good work.

Fantastic philosophy! Thanks for the journey! 👍

The simplicity of single speed 👍👍 Amazing journey

So cool Markus... you are the man and cheers! To the next adventure

Legend !

And here I was thinking I might need a geared bike if I decide to go on a century some day lol. I'm all set with my single speed! Plus, I also have a Surly!

Single speed: because the challenge is with myself!

Thanks guys 🙂

Thanks for watching!

Very cool idea. Riding around the world on a singlespeed bike makes sense to me. Simplicity and robustness. No bent derailleur hanger or rear derailleur that can get caught in the spokes, etc. At the end of the day, you're not any faster on average with a bike with gears. You will probably manage an average of 20 km/h. The gear ratio is small, so uphill climbs are no problem up to a certain point.

Yepp, simpliicty was the main reason why I rode the bike. My average was pretty consistent, only NZ was slightly slower, as it was mainly off-road, and Australia was a bit faster, as it is more flat than other countries. Still touring singlespeed, great way to cut the fuss out (:

great content

Every mile counts (: Glad you enjoyed the film, if you are interested I have just finished a book about gravel cycling in Britain, which features three more RTW cyclists, Mark Beaumont, Jenny Graham and Jaimi Wilson.

My gosh. What a beast. I would love to try this but unfortunately I wouldn't know where to begin. Question though: What are the obstacles with showering daily, washing clothes, peeing/pooping, not having your things stolen, etc. Are you staying in hotels or camping out?

Bravo!

Why don't you use panniers?

Ratios ???

My wife and I are touring tuscany for a month and are wondering about your gear ratio? Right now we run it pretty high, 2.53:1 but I have a smaller front chainring to use which brings me to 2:1. What do you think?

@reizkultur

I was riding a 32:18 and that is pretty much my choice for all hilly, mountainous rides. 42/17 has worked well on my cross bike as well.

That's what I'm wondering, but it's definitely a micro-drivetrain. Very tiny chainring, like even smaller than a mtb tiny!

Traveling on bicycle or walking long distance is easy if you are an introvert.

I enjoyed the nallarbor too...it was tough but yes...I enjoyed it...remember when I got to Norseman...I did not want to buy food...I asked the girl at the cashout.. How much for the shop !!!

i do single speed for less break downs .. light as hell. haha.. maybe list trike with electric and 200 mile range . haha.

I think fix gear is better than geared bicycle...
