2,500-Mile Bikepacking Trip About Loneliness: The Bike Listening Tour
The Bike Listening Tour follows Andrew Mohama on his solo cycling tour across America as he investigates loneliness. Inspired by his passion for community, Mohama sets out to learn more about the Loneliness Epidemic in America, biking along less-traveled rural roads and, at one point, biking across “America’s Loneliest Highway.”
During his tour, Mohama interviewed more than 100 people about their experiences of loneliness and community. The film takes place in Nebraska and follows him on his journey as he interviews people, bikes from town to town, experiences a terrible mechanical failure, and incredible hospitality.

    Awesome!!! Your explanation starting around 10:40 is perfect and really nails at least why I love long distance bikepacking. A great video start to finish, but that portion is spot on...well done and thanks for putting this together!!!

    Nate, you captured bike touring and Andrew’s journey so beautifully. As a bike tourist and aspiring documentarian myself, this made my heart so full. And Andrew, you embody exactly what a bike tourist should be: present, resilient, kind, and most of all, open minded and hearted. Thank you for being a mentor to Alasdair and me last summer and I hope someday we meet in person! This made me just a bit foggy-eyed. Much love.

    Beautiful. 12 minutes in this video, the wonderful kindness of strangers is beyond what I expect from a cycling video. You bring people together. Keep going, brother, no matter what.

    What a great film! I just subscribed and look forward to your future work. Totally agree about the part when you talked about how you can experience a place deeper on a bike - as someone originally from a rural town in the US I related to a lot of this. Really interesting to look at the relationship with cycling and loneliness vs. aloneness. Thanks for sharing!

    Very interesting. As a child I spent a good bit of time on my 3 uncle's farm in a more rural setting than the suburbs I grew up in and felt much more connected to literally everyone I encountered "in the sticks." I miss those days.

    This is an amazingly well made film, within the top tier of any of the cycling films I've seen. Very good premise, very good storytelling and editing flow! I really hope your channel blows up, with content like this it's only a matter of time 🙂

    Loved the video! Interesting observations about loneliness vs age in small towns. I’m curious how the hustle and bustle of cities provides different connection at different age brackets. The strangers inviting you into their home for 4 days was poetic.

    Wow, impressive Andrew. And great filming Nate! This was so inspiring to watch - and the kindness of the two strangers who hosted, it gave me goosebumps. Loved the part about experiencing the world slower than just driving by. A good future doc who is prioritizing physical health, mental health, & studying loneliness. Hell yeah.
