Start of the biggest adventure and November rain in France

Start of our Amazing World Bike Tour. Excitement and anxiety about the challenge ahead as we enter France in cold and rainy November.
Can we make it around the world? We share our thoughts on this great endeavour, our joy and our struggle with the realities of long-distance cycling. Just us, two bikes, a tent and camera.

    From a cycling perspective it certainly is very safe as there is a lot of cycling infrastructure. Generally though we did not camp in bigger cities, but that is probably true for the whole world...

    Lovely video. You are clearly doing what most bike tourers do as they gain experience, discarding unnecessary items to save weight. I did a tour of 15 months along the Spanish coast to Portugal taking my time obviously, I got rid of a lot of unnecessary things, swapped some for lighter versions but also decided a month into the tour that a lightweight chair and table was a must. So we learn as we go. Enjoy yourselves, good luck.

    Well said! We are editing with the free version of Davinci Resolve 18. It is an incredible piece of software that enables us to do pretty much everything we need. A short time ago our Dell XPS 13 broke and we are now on a second hand Macbook Air which works very well for us, so we want to obtain a second one.

    When France ruled Vietnam as a colony, they named the streets accordingly to French names, including Louis Pasteur's. After taking back the country, Vietnam province renamed most of the streets, except for Louis Pasteur and a few others.
