    I think the use of an e-bike is awesome! You can make it as hard or as easy as you want, and it opens up activities like bikepacking to people who would otherwise be physically unable to do it on their own.

I'm 74 years, not decrepit, but i ride the trike to get out & enjoy life. Don't ever, ever, judge a person for a trike or an electric assist (or wheelchair) until you know why. Go Miranda........

Ebikes are motor bikes and traditional cycling has been infected by them, all these lazy feckers now claiming they are cyclists. No they are not, but they are cheats!

    People should know they cut out the part where they had to put the bikes on a bus or van to get from the end of Discovery Bay (mud flats in the video) to 4 corners to continue the ride into Port Townsend. If she thought riding on that huge, wide shoulder was scary, she definitely didn't ride on the road for the section with no trail yet. Lots of volunteers are working on it and have been for many years. It has to go over very high, steep hills somehow.

    I've cycle toured for years, rode most of Vietnam, Hanoi to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon), Melbourne to Sydney. First half of the Great Ocean Road. Tasmania's East Coast (a couple of times) I've also commuted all my life and owned more bikes than cars. Used to be a 100km (60 miles) a day on pretty much any terrain, so long as it was a msde road. (Single track's "a bit" harder, hey.)
    It makes my heart sing when others discover cycle touring. eBike or not, the open road on a bike is freaking golden. And that moment when camp is setup and your nomming dinner, watching the sun going down. Life can't get any better. ❤❤❤

    I have been very interested by bikepacking ever since I found out it was a thing... the joy you have for new experiences is so infectious, it makes me want to get out there and Do More Things more often. Frankly, Miranda, I would watch you watch paint dry. Keep on keeping on 💜

    This was so joyful to watch. Miranda, on day 2 your face reminded me of the face a puppy makes sticking its head out of the window of a car! Same excited/happy expression :D Now I want to try bikepacking.

    More biking please! I am 59 and bought my first E bike last Spring. I had the BEST Summer of my life! I live near Buffalo NY so no biking for me right now but I am counting the days for Spring to show up! My favorite place to ride is in our 68 thousand acre "Allegany State Park".

    Love that Miranda advocated using similar equipment she already owns, rather than product promo-ing. REI is killing it with authentic promotional content that doesn't feel salesy. But, more detail on your food, please, Miranda! I want to know what she's eating at camp & in town. Cream o Wheat with strawberries, kiwi, & matcha? Tell us more!!! I feel like M might eat to live, rather than live to eat, but for the rest of us, bring on the details! Speaking of which, a show about a trip to the bulk bin store & prepping dry backpack food from those ingredients would be awesome! I bet $5-10 would cover most of her food for 2-3 days using bulk bin oats, nuts, fruits, veg, beans, etc...

    As an ebike enthusiast, I loved this video. There are so many misconceptions about ebikes out there. I would love to see more bikepacking content. A group of women in a FB group that I'm in bikepacked the Katy trail this past fall. We stayed in B&B's, not camping. I since then have purchased gear for camping and am looking forward to next year when I can hit some trails and camp.

    I absolutely ... LOVE this video! I think it is the BEST one I have seen from you to date! I MUST give this a try (except I think I will have to use a hammock instead of a tent). Thank you for the video and especially for showing the world how much FUN a person can have being in nature. As a 63 year old an Ebike means I WILL ride vs a standard bike (BTW - I commuted 10 miles a day for 25 years before retiring and getting an Ebike). Would LOVE to see more bike packing videos!!
