    Very sad to know that you could not enter in Pakistan. Had you been there I as a member of warmshowers would have been there as your host. Any way my best wishes are with you.

    Did you use a Brooks saddle?

    • @CycleStrongman
      @CycleStrongman 4 года назад

      Yep, the B17 classic. There used to be a special version with copper rivets but i found that after time the leather stretched and exposed the sharp edges which would tear my knicks. Stick to the rounded rivets.

    Where is the bike tour? This is more a stupid sefish presentation of some random photos. Very lame too watch. U not the only one in the world taking photo, and stop with the smug philosophic talk, you re not Cristoforo colombo

      Standard Rohloff setup. Over time i went to a slightly smaller cog on the front when it came up for replacement.

    2:13 "Trusting my heart to be the compass." THAT is freedom, it is a very overwelming and satisfying feeling. I wish everybody could have a chance to feel that way. The world can be beautiful...

  • @craigme2583
    @craigme2583 5 лет назад

    This is truly wonderful and so well put together. Ill have to see what else you have put up. You rode places i just wouldn't. But you are the richer for it. Yes poor countries people are happier, more giving pay their bills more reliably, it seems. Except for the crime and scams and lower value for life. But I think when you are living the poor life on a bike, you become less a target of what people can get from you, but that you are in need of help yourself. I think people seem to be inspired by those who ride dangerous harsh conditions and empathetically want to help and be part of it. I think it's educated middle-class who do such trips, not because they can afford to, but because they have found lack of satisfaction with their middle-class existence. And had expectations unfulfilled in that respect. Perhaps those without such background have fewer expectations and struggle on. Whatever, it is the life lived that too few seek to follow, who struggle fir life for a house in the city or good job having never lived. You said you enjoyed coming home to family? Surely you dont have a wife and kids? Its also a selfish pursuit. But we need to be selfish sometime to focus on personal needs and dreams, not those of others. Only 4 years but more Iife lived than most over a lifetime...

    There is a reason some people are rich. Greed and selfishness. They are poor in their hearts. What has Chris done since? Settled down, got a good job, family, house, car?

  • @docbrown7558
    @docbrown7558 7 лет назад

    Its true. I've noticed when a "rich" friend stays at my house, after they leave somethings usually missing from my home, my poor friends would never do such a thing, people expect the poor to steal its usually the opposite. If you think about it, its the same with our world, people who steal are usually rich (IRS, bankers, politicians, corporations etc) “The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live.” - Jose Mujica

    Hi Chris, thanks for this amazing video. I am also a bike traveller but only on short periods of time, due to work and family. But journeys such as yours inspire me and make me dreaming. Maybe one day... Take care
