  • Part 1 of 2, this is the story of our journey through South America.
    Our expedition was completely unsupported; we carried on our bikes all we needed to survive in varied, and often remote terrain.
    Part 1 sees the team getting to know each other and adapting to life on the road. The majority of the expedition members were not seasoned bikers, lessons were learnt quickly as we journeyed south along the shores of lake Titicaca in Peru, then on to Bolivia.

    Canon G7X Mk II
    GoPro HERO 3

    My wife and I spent 3 months in the early '70's, traveling thru Columbia and Ecuador, with a specially modified hang glider I could carry in a backpack. Local buses were our primary mode of transport. Back then, the dangerous drivers, the bus drivers especially, and the steep and non guard railed primitive roads, made for some exciting trips! If we were face to face I'd high five you as I'm sure you have some stories to tell about the drivers. Great friendly people, just pretty insane when they get behind the wheel.

    @Abhi-vo5qf 5 лет назад +2

    I really love to ride bikes going long distance
    There is something magical in riding bikes ,even when your legs are aching so bad from riding long distances you still put your feet to the pedal like nothing's wrong
    I used to travel long distances with my friends but now i feel like the whole damn world is forcing me to ride motorcycles and cars
    To them its like bikes are for kids
    But watching this makes me to go chase my dreams
    Thank you .....

    I am impressed that unseasoned bikers tackled this trip. Thanks for the demonstration of why panniers are fading out and frame bags are becoming more popular for bumpy rides. Traveler's diarrhea is the worst! I came home from a trip with a case and even 'normal' travel in airplanes and busses is challenging. I can't imagine trying to pedal in such a state of misery!

    • @JamesMayFilms
      @JamesMayFilms  6 лет назад

      Wasabi Wei I think the panniers were mostly held together by tape and zip ties in the end. Thanks for the support.

    @bikeandsee1647 3 года назад

    What I find most interesting here is the basic idea of bike-packing in a group bigger than the usual couple. Six participants like here, and women could be included, must enable a great rationalization of resources, "division of labor" in every sense, and a lot of weight saving. It also resolves a big problem: security. Lovable, original, cheers! BTW (!) James May tremendous job !

      A 23-year-old woman presents with a painless lump in her right breast. She discovered the lump a few days ago, when doing a breast self-examination. She has no other symptoms. There is no history of trauma to the breast, or of previous breast lumps.
      Her medical and surgical histories are unremarkable. She is not on any medications. Her family history is also unremarkable. She is nulliparous. Her menarche was at the age of 13 and her menstrual cycles are regular, with a 28-day duration. She is not on contraceptives currently.
