Bikepacking Korea’s east coast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- A bicycle adventure to the east coast of Korea. A luxurious bus ride (isn’t that an oxymoron?) with my bike in the luggage compartment. A beautiful pine forest lined beach with a clean bowl club of Makguksu.
The much anticipated Rivendell Atlantis bike check! I forgot to mention the Nitto Big Back Rack and the Nitto Front S Racks.
Some amazing bikes lanes along the coast before I headed inland for some step climbs and some wild camping. Beans on toast for dinner and a coffee outside for the morning pick me up.
A lot of people ask which camera I use for the riding shots. It’s an Insta 360 go 3:

Buddy you are really crushing these. Loving them so much. Keep up up and also don't burn out!
Thanks! The filming part is easy because I ride my bike every day. The editing takes time but I’m enjoying it!
This is the most uphyped, natural, as it is, under equipped RUclips channel I’ve seen. AMAZING!
Wow, thank you!
*me finishing the video* "clean video club"
Yes! You reached the bonus Clean Bowl Club reserved for those who watch the whole video. Thanks for watching.
After watching a lot of your videos I've noticed that what draws me in every time is the feeling of a friend narrating all the video footage they captured in a week/month of their lives; A compilation of things they found interesting. Your editing process creates a viewing/listening experience that can be described as simultaneously simple, calming, and fulfilling. Your artistic decisions in journaling and video production is a breath of fresh air when compared to other media that saturates their video footage with touristy music or forced storytelling plots. I've learned and appreciated a lot from your videos, about bikes, South Korea, and video making
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot!
You're so cool and chill. This video is so therapeutic man, very peaceful
I never thought this would be the description I’d receive the most when I started making these videos but I’m happy with it. Thank you!
liked before even watching the video! I can already tell this is gonna be grand.
Same here!
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it.
I always rewatch these videos later the same day, they're just so soothing and unique
That’s amazing. Thanks for watching twice!
Sophisticated Korean food, classy bike, smooth tunes, baked beans on toast for dinner 😂
An eclectic mix
한국을 방문해주셔서 감사합니다. 4~5월 한국은 자전거 타기에 아주 좋은 날씨지요. 자전거가 예쁘네요.
감사합니다. 7년 동안 한국에서 살았어요.
@@probablyriding 😂😂😂😂😂
As an American I feel like I'm getting a taste of English and Korean culture. All wrapped up in the form of bike rides. I love it!
That’s so cool to hear. Thank you.
Been going through some of your older vids. This one is definitely in my top 3. Thank you sharing these! Please keep them coming
Glad you're enjoying them! More to come.
love the video, makes me smile when your washing machine chimes at around 4:30
Did you check your laundry?
@@probablyriding duuude I had a moment like hmmm did I forget i put on some washing? 🤣
Marcus, you are so blessed to see all these beautiful places!
Great camera work and narration, ride on!
Thanks, it was a great trip!
Your aesthetics and delivery are top shelf. I always feel like your journeys are my journeys. I too am a Riv rider.
Awesome! Thank you!
So relaxing! And you left me putting Baked Beans on the List for the next Trip. Thanks for sharing!
Perfect camping food!
Always nice to see a country from the perspective of a cycling trip. FYI in the nineties I worked for an ad agency in San Francisco and I created the Waterford catalogs for Richard Schwinn. We also did some work for Bridgestone and Panaracer.
Nice!
Your videos have become my Saturday morning routine. I enjoy them with my first cup of coffee before heading out for a bike ride. Your videos are beautiful and I love the narrations.
Love that!
17:35 sure nobody can’t take England out of you! 😂😂
big thanks from NZ. It’s interesting to see Korea in your perspective. Best videos to watch at the campsite after finishing a ride.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you
There is something very cozy about your content. I can't wait for more.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for creating these gems.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the great content. I have enjoyed it all. 👍.
Awesome, thank you!
I’m enjoying your content more and more. I love that you manage to show such enthusiasm for your gear and experiences without geeking out on all the minute details and turning into a “wannabe bike journo”.
You really appreciate quality in everything and share your pleasure with us.
Much appreciated
Thanks.
I appreciate that! The main thing for me is having fun while riding bikes. Them being pretty with quality parts that can I work on myself, just makes me enjoy even more.
I agree 100%.
My new favorite RUclips channel
Thank you!
Another glorious video.
Thank you kindly!
The quality of these videos is subscription worthy. And the vision, creativity, and production is 🤯. I can tell you take a ton of pride in your work. This channel deserves all of the love it gets and then some. Much love from Fresno, CA!
That is some amazing praise. Thank you so much. I appreciate it!
I understand your appreciation for the Atlantis. I have a 58 that I bought new in 2003. Fabulous bike. Been all over on it & it's been perfect for traveling & everyday riding.
Right on! I bet it’s a beautiful bike. Is that a Toyo made one with 26inch wheels? They’re so nice.
@@probablyriding Mine is Toyo but the 58 & larger came with 700c wheels. The 56 & smaller had 26. We found a 47 for my wife & it has 26. I think the Waterford hit the sweet spot with the slightly longer wheelbase & 650b. They are rare indeed. I rode one a few years back & it had a subtlety better ride. I noticed it but the guys at Riv just mumbled about "revised geometry " without specifics. Waterford couldn't make the chainstays as long as Grant wanted was one reason they moved production to Taiwan. My Atlantis has been such a faithful & reliable companion that I'll never part with it.
Thanks for the info. Atlantises are for sure forever bikes. I love the geo of mine with the 650b wheels. I have the Clem with the super long chainstays already so it’s nice to have the slightly shorter Atlantis. The lugs are beautiful too.
Another awesome edition mate! 👍
Thanks again!
Your videos are making me so happy! I don't ride bicycles myself, but you're making me want to :)
I'm so glad! That’s my aim.
Always an enjoyable experience ❤
Thanks so much!
Love your content, interesting, calming, great scenery and great bike(s)
Glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic.🎉
Thanks 🤗
That descent was soooooo good! 🚴✨💞
⛰️
I could listen to this man talk all day 😌
🥹
Your videos and your voice are so relaxing and pleasant. Thankyou! Looking forward to more and more of these! 🙌
Thank you!
Best time spent watching, thank you. Plan to up my outdoor coffee game as your example.
Fantastic! One of my favourite things to do.
That is a seriously sweet bike.
I still can’t believe it’s mine
Thanks again great video, love your Rivendell too, stay safe and well.
Thanks 👍
The handle bar really feels like riding a Harley, cool !
👍🏻
What a stunnig video.
Thank you!
fantastic trip! the style of your vids always hit the spot for me.
Thanks!
What a fantastic adventure! I enjoyed your overnighter and the journey to get to your campsite!
Thanks so much!
A lovely long video to start my Friday, cup of coffee in hand. Your videos are such a comforting space and only get better with every upload. Absolute quality, thanks for your content 👏🏻
Oh thank you!
this video was awesome thanks for filming your experience❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much! Really enjoy every videos
Happy to hear that!
This guy vlog like a diary
It's quite impressed
Thanks
Thanks a ton
Thank you so much for sharing your trips with the world. You're the Rick Stein of Bikepacking.
Wow, thanks! I’ll have to start a fish and chips empire over here then.
Been in Korea less than a year and just finished Busan to Seoul which was epic. Excited to check out the East coast trail next so this popping up for me was perfect timing. Also, I'm a James Hoffman Aeropress follower too - perfect cup every time! I hear quilts instead of a sleeping bag is the way to go. Better bang for your buck, more comfortable, and lighter. New to touring so I have some upgrades I need to make to my bike before I upgrade gear! Excited to see more of your videos.
I’ve been in kore for ages and have don’t loads of tours but still not Seoul Busan. One day before I leave, whenever that is. Lots of people recommended a quilt. Thanks!
Another wonderful video. They never fail to put me in a better mood.
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you!
18:14 looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your bikepacking trip 🍻
It was! Thanks for watching.
I’ve cycle trekked every prefecture in Japan but one. Seeing your clips, I want trek Korea.
Korea is pretty sweet for cycling.
Thankyou for posting , Loved it 👌
My pleasure 😊
Really enjoying this video. I hope to stay in Korea for a few months next year, and this makes me even more excited. Thank you!
Thanks! Have fun!
Another incredible video. Love the breakdown of your bike.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the vibe and aesthetic of your videos! Beautiful soul bike rides. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that!
Just found your channel, big fan!!!
Great style too man, I'd love an I.D on the New Balances... those are stunning.
Thanks! New Balance 610.
17:00 what a beautiful place to stay over 😍
It was delightful
Just recently found your channel - really enjoy watching your daily/weekly adventures. You have such a calming energy and so do your vids. Thank you for sharing your life with us! :-)
Thank you so much!
just dropped in to this video by a chance, and you mate is enjoying east coast better than i am lol! I lived in east coast when i was a kid, and i recognize all the sightings. Was so happy to see a fine Englishman of culture(I also really like the James Hoffman's method haha.) enjoying so much. Great vid and keep up the wonderful work.
Thanks!
Beautiful bike! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those roast potatoes are lethal, so tasty 👍
🥔
Keep up the great videos! Love your channel.
Thank you! Will do!
Love your window into the Korean countryside and culture. Great bike, great coffee and great content. Thanks
Thank you very much!
I was randomly recommended one of your videos about a week ago and you have a new fan! I’m inspired to build a new bike like your atlantis 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I hope you get to build a sweet bike!
Hello, I love your calmness in presenting this wonderful country. I wanted to ask what kind of camera you use to shoot your videos. Greetings Arthur
This: www.insta360.com/sal/go-3?INRL3L3
Never too early for a corn dog! Gah these get better and better. Keep up the incredible work!
Thanks! Will do!
perfect video with your voice and great music choice as always. wonderful director! - from random visitor and now subscriber who likes bike
Wow, thank you!
Like the bit of history in this video :)
Thank you. I’ll leave the rest to people more knowledgeable than me about it!
the road to Seoraksan is an especially beautiful ride up from the beach.
Indeed.
Even looking at it is healing.
Thanks
Loved the video , thoroughly enjoyed. That bus service is outstanding.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very peaceful bike vlog. I like it.
Glad you liked it
Addicted to this channel now!
Thank you!
Wow! The descending ride the end of your video felt like a dream... Excellent video and camera work. Your narration is a joy. Thanks for the wonderfully detailed bike check, too. Your Atlantis is a real beauty! Cheers!
Thanks so much!
Awesome video again. Really enjoyed the laid-back and relaxing vibe. Wholesome! Thanks for taking us along your rides and showing us your gear! Very interesting for a "gear head" like me. ;-) I loved the random appearing 'Weihenstephan' beer sign at 13:06, I recommend tasting thier beers. That with the Bayern Munich - Arsenal match. There are two references to Bavaria. Cheers and greetings from Munich in Bavaria! Ben
Danke schön!
New to the channel I love this kind of content. Your inspiring me to build my dream bike I like the style of the bikes you ride. More power ✊✊✊
Welcome aboard!
Loving your adventures mate. Keep em coming
Thanks, will do!
Another fantastic watch. Always thought aeropress to be a faff, admittedly never used one in favour of a standard stove top pot when camping.
I think it’s easier than pour over, at least.
What NB are you riding in?
610
Love your videos! I have a “new to me” 90s specialized hardrock frame and my summer project is to rebuild it so it’s like your Rivendell! Functional but also with a cool looking form.
Those Hardrocks are some great bikes. Perfect for some swept back bars and a few small updates. Enjoy!
Mate. That bike is stunning!! Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
No bell on those cycle paths? 😂. Amazing video as usual and another reason to love South Korea.
Edit: my wife and I were disappointed that you did not show how you toasted your toast.
Haha I thought they’d jump morning rang the bell.
More toast content request, noted.
What a beautiful bicycle you’ve got!
Thanks!
Yay! I absolutely adore this channel.
I use a Sea to Summit Etherlite 30F degree sleeping bag, it’s super light and warm.
Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻
Love the bike, the Paul components is quality stuff
Yeah, Paul stuff is the best
bro, we have the same bicycle.. and I loved this kind of bicycle also. new subscriber here
You have excellent taste.
Love that you show you don't need all the riding gear and a 4,000,000 won bike to enjoy riding. 잘 했어요.
Very true. However, that is actually around how much my bike costs…
@@probablyriding Oh. Wow. I thought the Velo Orange frame with Hunt wheelsets would run you a bit less. Anyhow. She's a beaut! Just changed everything on my own bike frame the last few weeks. I am sad to say that I neglected it for a long while. I watched your build explanation video, and I am in the same boat anxiety-wise about the integrity of my work. I hope my workmanship will hold up when I need it to. Fingers crossed.
Ah yes, the VO wasn’t that much. Rivendells cost a bit more. Enjoy your rides!
Someone get this man a nice little Fuji mirrorless camera or something! That campsite with the sun setting was gorgeous!
Fujifilm X100VI donations welcome 😅
Love your videos!
Two questions. Well, one question and one suggestion.
Q: how much $$$ do your bikes take to put together? Would be super interesting. And useful to know whether it's something I can aspire to or just dream about! :)
S: would be amazing to have a video about how you learnt to build bikes, whether you're self-taught or once did it for work etc. And a look at your workshop etc! And maybe even a bit about your lifestyle (work etc) that allows you to enjoy your bike in such a pure way!
Thanks again for the videos. They're a highlight of each week. x
Thanks for the suggestions. I mentioned in my velo orange polyvalent bike check that I’m self taught, mostly from RUclips. I don’t have the luxury of a workshop. I just bring my toolbox and work stand down to my apartment basement car park!
Simple pleasures.
Indeed
영상도 목소리도 편안해서 계속 보게 되네요~
좋게 봐주셔서 감사해요!
Peaceful vibe, I
Thank you, I’ll keep going 👍🏻
I use an Enlightened equipment quilt for bike camping. It's really small but warm
Nice. Thanks for the recommendation.
I lived in Dong-Hay on the east coast near where you filmed this for a few months in 2001. Loved it. Such friendly and trustworthy people. I am really enjoying your videos and the rivendell is epic
I love the east coast. Thank for watching!
wow what a beautiful video :) stay safe! have fun in korea!
Thank you! 😃
I was also watching arsenal and Bayern. But at 3pm. Different kind of football fan abroad ha! Awesome vid!
On match days, I miss the time I lived right next to Arsenal Stadium. 5 minutes from my sofa to my seat!
Great videos
Thanks!
Beautiful video and music, I should go riding on the east coast this weekend.🚲
You should!
Thank you for sharing this adventure! Made me want to go biking in Korea. Excited for the rest of your content 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
I just found your channel, watched 3 videos and immediately subscribed. As others have said your voice and manner is so chill and soothing. As a side sleeper and someone who tosses and turns I switched to a down quilt three years ago and will never use a bag again. You need a good insulated air mattress to make it work. The Hammock Gear brand is fantastic and about 25% cheaper then Enlightened Equipment. I own both and would go Hammock Gear.
Quilts seem to be the consensus so far. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!
nice!🚴♀
Thanks!
Love the hitch bicycle club! I’ll be there on the 3rd and biking the rest of my grand slam!
Awesome 👍🏻
