bike

I have a bike, two legs, a lot of empathy for indigenous people on turtle Island who don't have access to clean drinking water, and two destinations: I'm going to ride from Edmonton, Alberta to Parliament Hill, to request an audience with the prime minister and remind him that the treaties that...

Recently purchased this 1.3k gravel bicycle on sale. Saved 300 but it’s still the most expensive thing I own. I did research beforehand, it does have the ability to use a rack, space and moutns for bags and such. At the same time I also can’t find nearly any videos on YT about it, and only 2...

I've got a bicycle and a dog-cart for my stuff/guitar, and down south it was no problem to ride wherever got me where I was headed, but I've only just recently been informed that there is absolutely no riding on the shoulder of the interstate/highways in California. This puts a last minute kink...

So, my neighbor gave me this bike that belonged to her deceased husband and my plan is to fix it up and outfit it for bike touring. I am planning on using "Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance" as my guide. But I haven't done any research on the bike yet, I just know it looks pretty badass...

I had some time to edit these in a bnb yesterday so I'm posting them here as well. This is day 11 and 12 of the tour. I'm already on day 22 so I'm a bit behind on editing. Working on making videos a bit more short and digestible. Let me know what you all think. And If you have places I should...

I did an equipment post and a bike post. Now I'm here in the Netherlands doing the actual adventure travel part. This video might be a little vacation and a bit less travel but given that I'm posting this from a sand dune camp in south Holland it's only going to get more exciting from here.

After I did the video on my folding touring bike I wanted to do another about the gear and equipment that ill be bringing on the bike with me. My set up is small and lightweight. I built it to blend in with the locals on bikes. As well as allow me to stealth camp in more rural settings and...

Almost a year ago now I managed to find an old Bike-Friday touring bike on ebay. I actually won the auction while I was on a backpacking trip so that was a bit touch and go. Bike-Friday is a US brand who makes custom fairly hi end bicycles which fold. There line up is, comically, expensive. So...

hey bike nerds, i'm planning on starting on my first bigger bike tour since a few years and want to go for a bike trailer (that fits a bit more than what i usually bring for backpacking/hitchhiking; so i guess it would be like 100l or something). i don't have a bike trailer yet and really like...

Making progress on my next book, "Pipe Carrier" where I ride from St. Mary's, Georgia through Montreal to Minneapolis. It was part of a mostly penniless journey through eight countries and 48 US states. Three of the books are already published in a series called "Travels as Peaceful Valley...

I got a mountain bike I'm needing to upgrade it from the upstate NYs winter season anyone's ideas and upgrades for it would help and how much gear can I carry with my bike weight

Hey nomads! I bought a used Trek 7000 that's pushing 20 years old for $250. I got a new seat, new tires (Schwalbe Marathons), and a Garmin 350 Edge, plus some lights and minimalist tool kit. All-in-all, I've got a great set-up for less than $700! I'm currently in Berea, KY after leaving...

I'm planning a bikepacking tour from East Texas to Arkansas and back. I'm just curious if anyone would want to join

This is a little story I got about my first bike trip I did back in July. It took me 4 days and 1 night and I went from Düsseldorf to Munich, around 720km (447 miles for you Americans :). I'm not that great at planing trips so I just packed my bike and went for it. I followed the Rhine river...

Found a bicycle cargo trailer that looks rugged. It would greatly increase the amount of gear I could take with me. Have you used a trailer before? How did it work out?

Even though theoretically i am still on my first bike tour, the fact i had about 5 days break and flew across the border makes this feel like a new chapter. In my previous thread (First tour, heading out of Kamloops) you will find my story of starting out with this form of travel and cycling...

Tomorrow I'll be heading out on my bike leaving from about the Cleveland area hoping to make it to Portland by October 9th for the anarchist bookfair there. I'm fairly confident, though still not 100 percent set, I'm gonna try and catch a ferry up in Michigan across lake mich, instead of going...

I lurked on here a few years back. Been using r/vagabond for a while on and off with different accounts. Don't like who's moderating that sub so needed somewhere else. I'm currently in Birmingham, UK. I travel and work (hobo) but I've been trying to become a normal society citizen over the past...

I'm thinking about getting a foldable bike. So far I've mainly been seeing two different varieties, ones with small bodies and wheels that have seats and handlebars that extend high and what I would call more of a "normal" body (though the ones I've found are almost exclusively mountain bikes)...

About a year ago now I first delved into traveling and vagabonding by setting out from a homeless camp I had been bumming it at into the great unknown. I had spent the past few months there cooking with the local food not bombs and getting accustomed to life outdoors (I had been homeless before...
