    Cannot stop watching! Addictive RUclips channel. We hosted a disabled cyclist a few years ago in Australia. Annette had ridden from Germany and we met her while we were camping. She was by far the most interesting and brave person I have ever met. She was on a recumbent bicycle. Followed her trip all the way back home via her photo blog. Then a little later had two more German cyclists Jen’s and Lisa stay with us. The Germans are just so great with this form of travel.

    Hallo Eric, ich habe gerade Deinen Kanal gefunden und werde mich mal durchkämpfen. Hier gleich zu Anfang mal ein Tip: die meisten Expresszüge sind ja ausgebucht. Du kannst aber immer ein General Ticket kaufen, mit dem Du in der untersten Klasse ohne Reservierung mitfahren kannst. Bei den Schaffnern kannst Du dann während der Fahrt upgraden und bekommst dann einen freien Platz zugewiesen. Wenn das alles nichts nützt, dann gehst Du mit dem Fahrrad ganz hinten zum Wagen des Bremsers. Wenn Du ihn freundlich bittest, dann läßt er Dich und das Fahrrad bei sich mitfahren. Klappt nicht immer, aber einen Versuch ist es wert.

    • @MONKEYON2WHEELS
      @MONKEYON2WHEELS  Год назад

      Hmmmm interessant…falls ich nochmal in Indien mit einer ähnlichen Situation zu kämpfen habe, werde ich das mal so abchecken. Nur mit einem Rucksack ist das sicher kein Problem. Für mich persönlich hatte ich ja bereits schon ein Ticket gehabt aber das Fahrrad musste unbedingt als Gepäckstück abgegeben werden. Und da waren schon zu viele weiße Säcke mit irgendwelchen anderen Gütern:D

India is a trip eh.....I rode Shimla to Manali, Manali up to Leh in the Himalaya, Leh through to Srinagar, then back to Delhi, probably my best bike trip, incredible scenery and the enthusiasm of the people is suffocating at times. Look forward to the next movie :) - Take care, be safe.

    • @stephenhammond3656
      @stephenhammond3656 Год назад

      @@MONKEYON2WHEELS OK - I have done both....Southern Spain and Morocco is very nice, although they are very aggressive in Morocco and they work hard for your $$, ofc, head for the Atlas Mountains. In 2018 / 19 I rode the entire American Continent. Think about starting in Tuktoyaktuk (Canada) and riding The Dempster Highway through to Dawson City rather than Alaska? The Dempster starts on the Arctic Ocean and the riding is incredible...loads of small towns and communities to resupply from. You can fly in to Inuvik as the closest airport. I have always found Canada much more agreeable than the USA which s pretty fcked up imo these days. Consider the GDMBR route through the USA! - Highly recommend for an alternative back country route through the USA :)

      @MONKEYON2WHEELS  Год назад

      So the orcas are build like a tank!!! Zero issues with them and I think they’ll work perfectly until I retire from cycle touring (which hopefully will be faaaar in the future) the dolphins in the back are less tough (have a different material and internal coating) and have these external pockets which I actually don’t need. Unfortunately I weren’t as waterproof anymore at some point. So 6/10 for the Dolphins and 11/10 for the orcas. Hope that helps :)

      That would be certainly possible because mostly people are kind and welcoming but I‘d feel bad to ask people for it when it’s a really hard in countries like India to earn even enough for them to survive and feed the family.
