  • After cycling across the US in three months, we definitely welcomed a change of pace and culture in Mexico.
    But we also needed to adapt a bit. Cycling down Baja, especially on Highway 3 & 5, through the mountains and along the east coast, supplies and phone reception were very limited and we needed to start carrying food & water for multiple days... something we hadn't yet experienced on our journey around the world.
    But after getting the hang of it we ended up having a great time in Baja and really enjoyed the ease of wildcamping and desolate landscape!

    Eine Überraschung! Dieses Video habe ich wohl übersehen! Ein spezieller Eindruck, euch hier in der klimatisch angenehmen Gegend fahren zu sehen, wo ihr doch derzeit im Süden Perus ganz anderem Wetter und Höhenlagen ausgesetzt seid! Danke für euer Erzählen!

    Wouldn't it be easier to carry a waterfilter instead of relying on places where you can buy or get lean water?

    • @louisaandtobi
      @louisaandtobi  2 года назад

      We have a water filter. The thing is on Baja the problem wasn’t finding clean water, it was finding any water, therefore we carried the water sack. We also have chlorine tablets which we put in water if we’re not 100% sure if it’s safe. The tablets kill most bacteria, etc. in the water.

    They have to revive those brokken places and shops , restaurants etc. with refugees of latin America. The refugees make a good job there, but helaas is not so.😢

    Why did you take the asphalt road with four panniers like elderly people do, when younger cyclists today are mainly using the Baja Divide route?

    • @louisaandtobi
      @louisaandtobi  Год назад +4

      Our frames are pretty old (around 20 years) and therefore can’t fit very wide tires like modern bikes. As the Baja Divide is mostly sand, we didn’t feel like pushing half the time. Plus we can do whatever we want and not what other people do! 😉

    • @crculver2068
      @crculver2068 Год назад

      @Chains & Chords The Baja Divide is not "mostly sand". Only about 4 days out of that multi-week route are on sandy surfaces, and there is an alternative route for those kilometers. But I understand that people get scared away from the route because of exaggerated descriptions of it (in reality, you don't need more than 2.15" tires, tubeless isn't necessary, and you can do it with racks and panniers).

      @@crculver2068 You seem to be very concerned about us doing what is “expected” of us… you forget that we can do whatever we want! 😅 We had a great time riding Baja, exactly the way we did, and that’s all that matters…

      @@louisaandtobi My last comment was really directed towards other people looking at this video. You might have cycled the asphalt road and had a great time, but other cyclists ought to be aware that the Baja Divide route isn't as challenging as you thought. And it is definitely a lot safer and more peaceful than riding on the paved highway with traffic.

    Why not just show the scenery. Description always falls short, even for poets

      Just scenery gets boring pretty quick… at least in our opinion... and this is our storytelling style.

    Are you starting to realize something about poverty and global hegemony? I assume you have some advanced education and a bit of privilege in your backgrounds. Can't be too naive

    I've thought about biking down Baja but I hesitate because of the stories I've heard of cartel activity. If I ever decide to consider it more seriously I'll do more research. It looks like you didn't have any trouble like that, which I'm glad to see.

    • @louisaandtobi
      @louisaandtobi  2 года назад +1

      We didn’t have any problems with that. For us, Baja felt like a mix between the US and Mexico. There is a lot of military and police around but we felt very safe.

    • @crculver2068
      @crculver2068 Год назад +1

      Cartel activity is a non-issue. The Baja Divide has been a very popular route for several years now, and a lot of riders on it report that they felt safer there than anywhere in the US.
