Isnt it funny how just about all bicylcetravellers and travellers in general consider themselves citizen of the world and not of a particular nation? Can it have to do with us actually meeting the people across the border? Thanks for mentioning it.

Never put your guard down especially in Alaska (or anywhere )regarding bears. You never know when they will show up. Easy food and cubs are the biggest risks. A week safe doesn't mean one won't come around the bend and find your granola bar enticing. They have an incredible sense of smell and those that are acclimated to "campers" will associate the smells of human activity to an easy lunch in your rucksack. The more commonly traveled areas and campgrounds are at risk than remote areas where a bear is less likely to associate humans with food. Cubs are a year around danger as sows have them around for at least 2 yrs. stay safe.

That's the problem with people; they tend to put each person into a narrow funneled category which always creates friction in the long run.

Hope you are doing well (looks and sounds like you are). I would like to someday do a tour of this country, USA, but this would have to be later on.

I am going bicycle touring for the lifestyle. meaning I want to live on my bike and be a traveler or nomad. I want to live off of the land and eat wild edibles, live naturally, go poop in a hole like a cat and cover it up (yes I am serious, I dislike our currant system of channeling millions of people's feces down water systems). bugs and microorganisms decompose crap and make it into plant food. that's nature. humans like to channel all of their crap down their waterways and make things difficult and sickly. be a cat. poop in the ground and cover it up. don't poop in your drinking water. don't drink poop filtered chemical water because everyone crapped in the water. keep our waterways clean. don't flush that crap. go bicycle touring. eat wild edibles and plant seeds along the way in their proper growing zone. just drop them in nice green spots. fruit is everything. fruit gives life. you want life? plant some seeds. don't buy from grocery stores. buy local food from small farms. it is usually cheaper, sweeter, picked ripe, and doesn't have as many or any pesticides, artificial frrtilizers, mass produced cow feces, etc. dont buy garbage, don't produce garbage. you will have flowers and fruits everywhere. don't mow lawns, plant seeds. don't buy a car, buy a bike. don't like buying new things and giving into consumerism, producing waste? buy used. recycle and eat fruit. love clean air? love clean water? then don't contaminate it. one last thing. don't eat meat. you want death? eat meat. you want life? eat fruit and plant seeds. you want pretty things? fruits bring flowers. you want fear and suffering? eat flesh and hear screams. can't hear those screams and see the blood running onto your produce? you are blind and deaf. don't be blind, don't be deaf. life will thank you for it. I say all this because unfortunately, I have heard the screams and seen the blood run into your produce. I am not blind and deaf. it tears me to pieces. grocery store produce is not vegan.

If you come to Sweden, bring a bike lock. I have no idea what you're on about when you talk about unlocked bikes here in Sweden and there being hundreds of them. And modern touring rigs are expensiiiiive, so lock that thing uuupppp.

I'm also struggling with social anxiety and quite bad self confidence and have been kind of afraid of doing a bicycle tour just because of it. I have been planning on going a few times, but always tricked myself into thinking that i would probably stress out and have a mental brakedown from having to confront strangers and being alone with no home to escape to for days on end. But now from hearing that you've done the same journey (sort of) really motivated me. The best therapy is often just forcing yourself to do it and take things as they come. A bicycle tour would probably be good for me. Thanks!

I understand that straight bars found on MTB bike can cause arm and wrist problems, so why is it that so many Euro touring bikes are built like MTB bike, Thorn, Tout, Santos, and many others. why are they so highly regarded and successful in sales is they have straight bars?

Safe travels to you pal ! Keep us in your pocket.

Super Wag how about cha !! Great suggestion, got this video done in half the time.
Darren's cadence and clarity allow for this.
Darren great coverage and candor on all subjects pal. May I suggest as I have toured every country in SA; LOCK your bike up any time you dismount and let it go.
Also LOCK up when camping as well. -
i watched it all, but at 2x speed. That way it only took an hour and i could still understand it all. Great job on your website

Max 2 weeks on a mountain bike?!.. Hmmm, I rode a '91 Specialized Rock
Hopper for 6 weeks around Southern Spain and Morocco.. Ok, it was a
rigid-forked steel hardtail that made it more like a true touring bike
but it had flat bars and they were fine.. this isn't really a good
reason deem a 'mountain bike' unsuitable for touring - it's easy enough
to add bar-ends to provide a multitude of positions to ride in - as I
had.. p.s Morocco is an AMAZING place to bike tour - a perfect combo of the exotic and familiar and the dirt road across the Atlas from Beni Mallal thru Imilchil to Todra Gorge is STUNNING.. -
Darrein, I appreciate your speaking about the social anxiety issue because many people have it and find relief when they are able to go off on a bike ride and do a day or two without having to speak with others. You know a chance to get away from all the noise.

So what bike will you be upgrading too ?
