      please make a video about the bike saddle and recommend a comfortable one (I'm not sure if you have already made one). I am really struggling to find a good one.

  • @ianbarr4716
    @ianbarr4716 3 года назад +44

    Ryan, in each video I get soooo confused. Is my heart supposed to be filled with adventure and a desire to "get out there"? Or is my heart to be filled with love for the human race? You seem to do both here. Amazing stuff, dude. Cheers.

    • @duzer
      @duzer  3 года назад +13

      It’s a great conundrum to be in, right? Getting out there leads to random interactions with wonderful people, which in turn leads to a greater appreciation for our fellow humans.

    On my bike ride across America your videos have been something I look forward too after a long days and weeks of biking. It has helped me change my mindset about hills and trying longer miles. Here soon I’ll be heading into the mountains. This series has been encouraging. All your videos are encouraging. Also I have to say I have indeed come across so many wonderful people. People have been so kind to me so far. I’m really glad I came across your videos when I did because I enjoy being out here. Even when it’s hard.

    I first got into hiking with my dog and thought the same thing, I'm always telling her to wait for me, even with her backpack on. That was when I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I could just carry all our stuff on a bike, and keep up with her? So we ended up bikepacking, now Zora just has to wait for me uphill and I wait for her downhill. Meeting people like that is Zora's favorite part of travel.

    Well Ryan, you said it (Get out there). When you get there, be in the moment. Its an adventure, not a race to your destination. From a cold (not for long) South Africa.

    After all the years watching your videos...nice to see that you are indeed a human who occasionally must "walk" his bike up insane grades...(great video - I bike because of your influence : )
