Bicycle Touring Video: Sidmouth To Land’s End | Travelsonabike2

Sidmouth to Land’s End Video

Take a look at my latest cycling video, Sidmouth to Land’s End, which was published on my YouTube channel (Travelsonabike2) today. I was going through some old videos from previous bike rides, when I first started to record video. And seeing as I’m more or less stuck at home, I thought I’d create a video. Some of the clips are already on my YouTube channel, but most aren’t.

I don’t know why I didn’t start recording when I left home, probably because I didn’t know what I was doing. And I still don’t! But I started recording at a campsite near Sidmouth. It’s all a little random. But I’ve tried to cobble it together as best I can. It’s good to see that a lot of my gear is still the same. And with the way my balance is, I don’t think I’d be able to cycle along the River Exe these days. I’d just topple down the bank, especially if I had to stop.

You can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel. But to be honest, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch it! You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release a new video.

Bicycle Touring Video: England, Langton Matravers To Brockenhurst | Travelsonabike2

Langton Matravers To Brockenhurst | Bicycle Tour Video

Take a look at my latest cycling video, Langton Matravers to Brockenhurst, published on my YouTube channel (Travelsonabike2) today. It’s the video version of the post I wrote on the 31st of October 2024 while on my latest bicycle tour.

After spending the night camped at Tom’s Field in Langton Matravers near Swanage. I’m now back on my bike, heading for my next destination. As I cycled along, I remembered a conversation from the previous day and decided to detour onto a new route. On this new route, I discovered that it’s part of the national cycle network Route 2 and was unsurprised to find it in such a bad state. But despite it being a rough ride, I was pleased to find it and cycle somewhere different for a change.

You can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel. But honestly, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch the video! You can also subscribe to my channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release my next video.

World Bicycle Tour Video; USA | Travelsonabike2

World Bicycle Tour video

The USA, another YouTube/Flickr video. This time, showing some of the photos and videos Garry took on the American leg of his bike ride. After reaching Australia and cycling the 4000-miles from Perth to Brisbane. Garry was supposed to finish his bike ride and fly home. But feeling that flying home would be too easy. Garry decided to cycle home and caught a flight to the USA!

Once in America, Garry spent a few days playing the tourist in San Francisco before setting off on the 3000-mile ride to New York. What a surprise America was; every state felt like a different country. From the mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the Great Plains of Nebraska. The scenery was constantly changing.

Unfortunately, 22 miles from the finish in New York City, Garry was knocked off his bike! And was rushed to hospital with blood pouring from his head! Garry wasn’t worried about his injuries; he was more concerned about what would happen to his bike! Thankfully, though his bike and gear were bought to the hospital by the police who attended the accident! And the only real damage was a split tyre and innertube, and some holes in his panniers!

After several hours of scans, X-rays, and what felt like every test going, they discharged Garry. Although, before letting him go, they stuck some staples in his head! A lucky escape for Garry and his bike! The following day, sore and very wary of traffic, Garry finished his ride into New York City!

Bicycle Touring Videos: Southern England | Travelsonabike2

Southern England: Cycle Tour Videos

Take a look at my latest batch of bicycle touring videos: cycling in southern England. My hip is really starting to hurt now, so it’s not so much of a tour, and things don’t get off to the best of starts when my saddle breaks. But after a bit of a false start, I make it to Swanage, on to the Isle of Wight, then up to London. Before returning home.

You can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel. But to be honest, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch it! You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release a new video.
