Hi, we are Maudi & Eric, Cycling the World and making Adventure Video's along the Way!
To see, smell, hear, taste and feel everything the road has to offer is so much different than watching a documentary or reading a book about it. Sometimes it's difficult but most of the time fantastic. We hope you will enjoy and perhaps find some inspiration in our video's to fuel your own dreams...
Join us for the Ride!

Some quality stuff right there, cheers
Did I just see you in Budapest?.. cheers anyway
where are you cycling now or are you taking a long needed break?
I'm curious if you both wore padded cycling shorts on your travels? I'm thinking it would take awhile for the padding to dry if you wash every night and its not real chamois now but a synthetic material.
Tuyệt vời ❤❤❤
Synchronicity ! Your video exactly matches my aesthetic of recent years. i.e. I think that bikes were perfected by 1989. I met a guy from the US on a long wooden bridge near Peterborough Ontario. He had such a set-up, and I made a mental note because his touring bike was perfect on a 26" mountain bike, taller frame, tall stem and drop bars, great Michelin tires with big volume and fairly high pressure. So I was gifted with a mountain bike from the late eighties, with an awesome U- brake, big cannister friction shift units in the bars, even with bio- pace chainrings which I've found to be a good feature to have. It's got a Wald basket on front, which I think I'll leave on. Leather saddles : my sister offered me this old, made in India 'Hojabr' saddle, heavy and with springs front and rear. I used it on a gamble for my recent big bike trip of 1800 km, and it was the best saddle I've ever toured on. Also the first leather saddle I've ever tried for touring. Happy trails mate !
These are really helpful tools and tips. Even three years later, they are still working > never too late 😉
great video excellent witch alternative options you have to create bosses when they are not on the frame
Some nice ideas How do you use the cassette tool? AND how do you use it without a shifting spanner? I have two tips that might be of interest to you - well, one won't be if that cassette tool works! So, cyclo cone spanners are lightweight, if you carry a pair they also work as pedal spanners if you use two held together I use the regular nut like cassette tool, it looks like yours but doesn't have a lug - be nice to see how that works! However I avoid carrying a chain whip by using a park bench - yes, I carry a park bench, they're light weight and easy to pack! Sorry, couldn't resist It goes like this, you just need something about the height of a seat that you can hold your back wheel on top of, so the right rock will do. Take the wheel off stand the bike upside down next to the rock/bench with the gear side facing it. Hold the rear wheel with the cassette about the middle of the chain stay and the gear side pedal resting on the tyre, loop the chain around the cassette on anything larger than your middle gear, now as you turn the cassette bolt anticlockwise the chain pulls the pedal against the tyre, so it's locked and you can unscrew, this works fine and doesn't hurt anything or require that you remove the chain But you do need a bench Thanks for the vid
You don't need a front rack, just strap your tent under the handlebar for balance Or something tent sized and shaped if you're not carrying one Also, quill headsets are indestructible, just carry the spanner and some 5/32 ball bearings and grease
thumbs up to you , but you should be carefull on your own . Total respect
Hello, any recommendations from action camera and a bike camera mount? Thank you, from Slovenia
that lamp trick to see the perforations is genius !
Inspiring
Ahad channel ka name change karo
Many in cycling looks wrong like they don't wanna develop useful things. This looks smth basic all bikes should carry . I'm also very concerned about how all gears are totally exposed to any damage I'm planning to buy or weld smfh to cover the gear box looks so fragile already bent it once. Many in cycling looks a bit wrong like there is lot of undeveloped things that are outdated .thx for this channel
About traffic it can be avoided riding at night but don't try on weekends it may be even more dangerous
2024 June. It overwhelmed me when you relate the lockdown and the decision to head home. We understand.
What were the dates of your travel through the UK? Do you have a map of your journey?
Happy birthday baby
I don't know, this saddle cost over 400 US bucks. Not for the average person. Maybe when the price comes down, way down. Seems like it would work but still a gamble if I would even like it.
Oh ❤ Good 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Great video and review Eric. After 50,000 miles on these Infinity Seats, I think 'conventional' saddles are the weird aesthetic. I use them for road, gravel and MTB. My rides go up to 12 hours. Like rim brakes and carbon wheels, (what we did to try and make carbon wheels work vs simply going to a brake rotor and eliminating contact with the rim), bike saddles for over 100 years have been based on a bad design and optimized as best as possible by softening the concentrated pressure on the ischium, or, sit bone. Infinity Seats changed that by eliminating all pressure on the ischium, perineum region and for the most part, the pudendal nerve which combined, make up the reasons conventional seats are often associated with not just ischium pain, but numbness in the entire area. Also note that Infinity now offers the the X Series seats made with weather proof marine vinyl - best for muddle, wet severe conditions where you don't want to worry about taking care of the leather. As for price, well in the middle of the premium seat market. Considering many cycling enthusiast spend thousands or even $10,000+ for their bike, often adding carbon wheels for thousands more, buying an artesian Infinity Seat that turns discomfort into a comfy experience is the greatest bargain in bikes. As I say often, "After a 12 hour race, the only thing that doesn't hurt is my ass". - Grey Haired Cycling Dude. PS: I wear bibs with a 2mm chamois.................no more diaper pads in my bibs!
Great video all the way from South Africa
The Best raiding❤🎉👍🇮🇩
Great video….thank you for sharing the experience ❤
How do you guys make sure your bike doesn't get stolen while you're asleep?
8th must have: you must be Swedish to go bicycle touring.
Seatpost suspension is a huge performer. One of the great benefits on nimble bikes with narrow tires is that the suspension has the effect of pushing back and planting the tires on the ground when they would otherwise hop and skip over. A neoprene cover is is strongly recommended to keep out the elements for the Cane Creek options.
That is not really stealth camping. Most of Canada is not designated as a campsite, and you could camp over most of it, and not ever be within miles of another person. Stealth camping is camping with the intention that your activity is not observed or discovered. The point isn't legal or permited, or illegal, it is stealthy. There are a lot of good reasons to camp in a way where your activities are not under scrutiny. It isn't wild camping either, a lot of cycle tourists stealth camp their way through major cities. (It seems to be a UK peculiarity to put "wild" in front of normal activities like swimming, and convert them into something edgy, that requires special gear, and instructors.)
After telling us that the single biggest mistake people make is to over-complicate, you then go on to make sleeping seem like brain surgery. Obviously if one wanted to bike around the world there would be a lot of different conditions to deal with. But I don't really get why people over-complicate bike touring. It is just riding a bike, and camping. Kids used to do both, and maybe that is the problem. Today is my 65th birthday, and I grew up in a time when we cycled to school, it was normal. We worked on bikes because what else would you do when they developed problems, watch KZread?. And 10 speeds showed up in NA during the 70s, so we just transitioned to those. I did my first winter camping when I was 12 (Canada). All this stuff was just stuff we did growing up as kids. Some kids did scouting, I was more in the adventure sport side of things. Rock climbing meant comping, there was no money or hotels where the cliffs and ice were. So I am sympathetic if all this stuff is foreign to people. My dad was born in 1925 and he did bike touring with his friends, and later with his wife, it was how you got around. It is sad to me that many people don't grow up doing this stuff. Marketing, both of channels and gear is one of the reasons this stuff gets complicated. Now we have bike packing and we have touring to discus. Totally unnecessary complications.
Pov your teacher said you have to watch this video
00:25.Wim de Bie.👍
I am new to bike packing. Do you ever use clips ons?
Thank you for all the content... you've showed me to face my fear and get out there... I will for the rest of my life, if I am lucky😊
8:49 the cutthroat thing was not threatening, people simply never forgot about the two young beautiful women from Denmark who camped and were brutally attacked by 3 ISIS affiliates and that was their way of letting you know it's not safe even tho the usual and the norm is 100% safe but that is how everyone behaved until that day happened and nobody was happy with that and people really got pissed off because of it and so from that day on we recommend that people shouldn't just camp anywhere even tho 99.9% of the times they would be safe the trauma of that day is never forgotten and so people try to avoid anything like that happening again. also, I can guarantee that when you were camping someone was up all night watching over you which we do now without letting the people know about it because they could feel they are being stalked or something creepy but we have a saying here ' if you were bit by a snake, you become prudent of the rope '. that is everything to it, we respect and welcome anyone who visits this country and we know it's not easy for anyone to set aside some cash and time and planning and visit someone else's country so we try or at least the vast majority of us try to be kind to the visitors. Morocco is everyone's second home and all we expect is people to keep that in mind when visiting or settling here and that is equivalent to earning yourself the Moroccan Nationality and since you travel a lot, if You ever run into Moroccans abroad, just tell them You visited Morocco and see how they will treat You like You were Moroccans, family.
Hi Maudi & Eric, thank you for sharing your adventure, it is beautiful ❤ I'm very fascinated by a gadget for making coffee while traveling, could you tell me what it's called and where I can buy it, please... ❤
Please explain what is the meaning of the S-HD on the bicycle iron frame Thank you very much
That saddle costs more than the bike. Ha ha ha.
Wonderful channel! Thanks
Nice to see you back, and on my country to top it! Last Christmas I wanted to do a similair route with my bike through the coast, but starting in Lisbon and finishing in the border with Spain in the south. Unfortunately it wasnt possible in the end. I never heard about this Fishermans trail. The path you did is ok to bike? Does it follow (partly) the eurovelo 1?
Inspiring Video, went out and got my own second-hand Giant MTB from '98 to turn into a touring bike
Great video.
I had planned to cycle SE Asia but blew all my money living like a king in Japan. 😂 I had read about that sort of problem crossing borders, i decided I would just pay them if it happened to me. They need the money a lot more than i do and it's usually not much, $25 or so. It would be different if they wanted hundreds.

Bicycle tourist food always make me laugh. We'll put literally everything in a pot with some sort of spices and think it's the greatest thing ever just because we're so damn hungry. 😂
Brings back memories. I rode that but in the other direction. Highly recommend.
Wow. Another world. Thank you
Hi guys, very cool video! What's the name of the hike? Thanks
