I Rode My Bike To The Northernmost City In The World

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Tromsø, the northernmost city in the world would act as the halfway point of my bikepacking trip toward the North Cape. Located about 400 km (250 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, it was the perfect place for me to stop for a while before I entered the second more remote part of my journey to my end destination, Nordkapp.

Hi Mike
We love your way of filming yourself riding past the camera, even if it's time consuming
The botanical garden in Tromso looks beautiful
Can't wait to see how you fared with the wet weather ❄️
Many thanks from Downunder
Yes, I agree. If you only show landscapes, no matter how beautiful they are, then it will get boring. And it is your cycle trip, so you need to have footage where you cycle, if we see you just talking it is not dynamic. To much talking is also boring to people. You could let your drone following you, but I guess that's also time consuming and if it's to windy it is not possible. Variation is also needed, so filming yourself riding past in that scenario is still a good idea. Anyway, I like watching your video's. Thanks.
Love the way you do your videos. I think this video has the most beautiful views of any RUclips video I’ve ever watched. Just breathtaking. Well done you 👍
Breathtaking.....soooo beautiful. Thanks for bringing us along Mike!!!
Hi Mike I’m a little behind from your current video. You asked what we prefer in your filming, I’m impressed with all of your videos. I like when you film yourself riding past the camera, but if it’s too much trouble feel free to only film it once or not at all. Your filming style is very relaxing to the viewer with your calm personality and humor. Norway is a beautiful place.
Amazing footage. Though a lot of work required on your part, the various ride shots, to we the viewer, really enriches the experience. Thank you!
Your videos are top notch, among the best biking videos on YT, so it's difficult to criticize anything :-) I could just say that the style of biking videos could do with some sort of refreshment, for instance by stopping "unnatural" shots, the ones we all know are artificial (like passing shots, pretending there's no camera), finding other ways to film, less like TV (but easier said than done!).
Excellent video Mike! Definitely worth the effort you put for filming! Very relaxing and inspiring watching it! Thanks!
It is so beautiful there !🌟 Definitely worth the extra effort you make to get the ride by shots for us, enriches the story.👍
Thankyou mike a beutifully made film, i do apreciate all your hard work these videos are great.
First your filming is top, I like it a lot, the passing by shots are nice to see. Thank you for all this work making the films. The scenery is just stunnig. And takig advantage of a tailwind is a great when cycling, it is relaxing and you can cover a longer distance. Lookig forward to see the next stage.
Perfect country for bike touring
Another beautiful and well done video. Those ride by's are very nice and well appreciated. Take care, Al
I came across your channel from your colab with Ryan Van Duzer. So happy I headed over here if this is going to be the quality of your work. Really enjoyed it, and that scenery, wow.
Welcome to the channel! May I suggest you watch the Lofoten videos if you're looking for spectacular views.
thanks Mike for another beautifully shot video, the weather change looks nasty in the next vid, look forward to it
Bonjour Mike , merci pour ce partage magnifique , j,ai passé un bon moment "have a good one "
Thank you for another beautiful video! We love the ride-by shots.
Another gem of a video Mike! Was just about to comment on your good fortune in regards to the weather, but I'll wait for the next one.. 😮
A magical landscape. Awesome stuff.
Very nice. Beautiful. Your style is comforting. Only change what you need to. New subscriber and love what you put out.
Every time I see a ride-by shot I think : Mike will have had to come back for the camera after that. Thank you.
I think it’s worth it. Loving this series
Beautiful place to bike. Your filming is 👌
Producing a quality video takes a bit of effort, thanks, much appreciated.
Gorgeous places, and another marvellous video. Thanks!❤
Many thanks again Mike - beautiful and interesting. Yes, the variety of camera angles you use helps make each video more interesting and enjoyable. From Tromsø you travelled roads I had not seen, so that was interesting too.
Vi älskar alla dina filmer, de är underbara (särskilt Norge och norra Sverige 😍) du behöver inte ändra på något, du filmar fantastiskt! 🤩
Great job, Mike 🤗
Thank you Mike for posting your beautiful and tranquil videos! While Tromsø might be the most northern city in the world, I think Hammerfest (Norway) is the most northern town in the world. Looking forward to all your future releases!
This is such a joy to watch Mike. Thank you for taking the time to do this. What time of year was your trip, last summer?
i have followed you before your solo trips and am quite pleased at your progression. don't stop being mike.
Mike your videos are incredible, even your musical choices fit so well! I'm heading to Norway soon and these videos are the best preparation I could ever hope for because bicycle touring is mostly about positive attitude and enthusiasm, and I'm getting that from you!
What trips have you planned for this year?
-Greetings from Finland :)
Great video Mike.
Another great video Mike. Definitely looking forward to visiting Scandinavia in the near future. Your videos are always outstanding.
Your videos are amazing!!!!!
Your videos are so inspiring. My wife and I are now considering our first bike tour here in the States.
Funny, as I was watching this I was finishing up my yogurt with mashed banana. Maybe I'll go for b bike ride today.
Another great video Mike - definitely worth the effort you put into filming them! I've been to Norway a few times, but never made it that far north - your videos are making me want to go!
Nice video!!!
Amazing stuff Mike! I really need to start travelling like this...Can you kindly give us an idea of the total weight of your bike (plus all the stuff) on a trip like this?
Nice footage Mike, as usual.
Btw, do you have some tips for a good mosquito spray or lotion? I saw that thermacell you showed us in one of your videos but i prefer a spray.
You have inspired me me to cycle to Norway. What season was this? What time period of the year? I could take 3 weeks off from work, so what time of the year would be the best for cycle touring. I use the TREK 520 for my tours.
My trip was between June 27th and July 6th. Aim for June-August. June is probably your best bet, a little bit drier and the crowds hasn't gotten that bad yet. Most people in Scandinavia have their summer holiday in July. Plus if you want to watch the midnight sun, June is your month. The only bad thing about June is that the mosquitoes and other insects are at a maximum. If you can't stand them August might be a better month for you.
@@BikeTouringMike thanks a ton. Aug to mid sept I'm in Vancouver. So next year I'll aim for Norway.
