Bicycle Touring Yucatan Peninsula Mexico - BikeHikeSafari - Ep. 19

Bicycle Touring the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and cycling the lonely backroads. On this episode I am joined by Sonja to explore Isla Holbox, Ek Balam, X'Canche Cenote, Chichen Itza and go Cave Diving in the best Cenotes near Tulum, Cenote Angelita and Cenote Dreamgate.

Bicycle Touring in Mexico and Yucatan Peninsula is totally safe as the people are so friendly and curious about a couple of Gringos on bicycles.
This is part of my adventure to cycle and hike the most amazing places around the world. The journey involves spending most nights sleeping in a tent and eating budget local meals.

Cave diving- what could possibly go wrong.

[@pollypurree1834]

Mexico. Great place to run into a cartel and bandits. What could possibly go wrong???

[@travelproof]

Hi guys. Good job documenting your trip. Where I can read more about the bikes in terms of technical stuff? Thanks.

[@adamduncan9269]

Thanks guys I'm using up my vacation days with mononucleosis so instead of cycle touring I'm watching your videos instead, cheers

[@bikehikesafari]

I had something similar many years ago that led to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I used my time to watch videos and read blogs which inspired me to get out and do these things. Get well and get inspired.

[@淑敏陈-v4e]

Your video is great！

[@joshuaw7330]

HI. Hallo. I really enjoyed your videos and just realized you stopped making videos. Why ? Are you still on the road ? Are you still together, happy ever after ? What ever you are doing be well and happy and thanks for the great videos.

[@pollypurree1834]

Maybe he ran into bandits

I loved my Diamondback Apex mountain bike...in the bike industry, if they don't keep upgrading new stuff . . . They think they will have nothing to sell...if you are pedaling a bicycle, and you love it... Don't upgrade, keep riding it... It doesn't get better, just more expensive...

[@chris-thumper7205]

WOW! Keep up the great vids, I am religiously following along and being so jealous at the same time.

[@bikehikesafari]

Cheers Thumper, you must be feeling like going on a very long walk about now! It's that time of year again.

[@chris-thumper7205]

Headed for another AT section with my brother soon. From South Smokey Mnts to Franklin, NC this time! I can't WAIT!!! Best of times bud!

[@bikehikesafari]

Nice

[@davidgodfrey3322]

Thanks for this beaut video. I live in Colombia now and I am trying to get a touring bike here. The problem is it's either a slick road bike or a mountain bike but nothing in between. These videos are most interesting and are giving me some ideas for my own travel plans. I just need the right bike. Perhaps I could get one sent from Australia?

[@bikehikesafari]

Mountain bikes make great touring bikes. They are tough and available in Colombia. Otherwise bikes from USA would be cheaper

[@naomigreenwald8607]

How did you secure your bikes and panniers when you were doing things like visiting the ruins and caves

[@bikehikesafari]

I used a light cable and a small padlock. Never had issues. There was security at most but not all of the sites.

[@guyhays3432]

What a great adventure. Did you buy the bikes in Mexico? Nice route suggestion through Mexico. Diving? Wow.

[@bikehikesafari]

The bicycles were bought in England and shipped across as part of normal luggage. They are a great bicycle, very strong. Diving was always part of the plan, but only in the most amazing places (depending on the cost and accessibility).

[@Bezstopy]

Great trip, cave diving looks quite dangerous - amazing though. Great shots + well edited video.

[@bikehikesafari]

Cave diving was a safe (I am an experienced diver, but first time in cenotes) and amazing experience. Thank you for the kind words.

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Nice work as usual.

[@bikehikesafari]

Cheers

[@xtubby420x]
