This is the full movie documenting my experience cycling through Tuscany in September 2021. Over 10 days I made my way from Marina di Massa all the way down to my end destination Rome. Sometimes following the Eurovelo 7, sometimes making up my own way to be able to stop and explore places like Pisa, Florence and Siena.

My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed your documentary and can't thank you enough for sharing your adventures with us. We never realized that southern Italy was so beautiful beyond the vineyards of Tuscany and that there are so many towns that are equally as interesting. You have opened up a whole new world for us. By giving us the history of wherever you travelled, we have learned so much and it's awesome to be learning and experiencing what you are experiencing. Thank you again for being our tour guide and we hope to one day follow in your steps! Keep up the good work Mike!

Hi Mikael, how nice to see you and your long journey toward Rome again! We hope to be able to meet again, and on this occasion we wish you our best wishes for this 2022, healthy and full of pleasant new bike trips. Giancarlo e Cristina

Brings back memories when I lived in Italy, and you have done an excellent video here. Bravo Mike. 👍 It is helpful how you describe prices of what you purchase it will help others to know what to expect.

Glad you enjoyed the video! And thanks for the feedback.

@katherinefisher6847 Год назад

Hi, Mike! I found you via Duzer's Sweden trip. I really enjoy your vlogs and will watch more. The Tuscany one is so well photographed and I enjoy your commentary. I have been to Tuscany before and this brings back many memories. I look forward to viewing many more of your vlogs! I live in Iowa. Ryan will have to get you over here for RAGBRAI 2024. All the best to you! 😊

@BikeTouringMike Год назад

Thank you for your kind words. RAGBRAI would be fun to do, but it might be a bit to hot for me coming from Scandinavia. I'm not really used to cycling in those temperatures. But we'll have to wait and see. Welcome to the channel!

Hej Mike, Hope you are all well. This full length feature film is keeping me entertained on my long night shifts at work. I turned 50 this week, but everybody in my house has Covid (except me) so will be celebrating later in the year. Can't wait to watch your next adventures. Much Love Ed

i noticed road shoulders seemed to be a bit of a rarity much of the time.

@BikeTouringMike Год назад

Yeah, some of the roads around here are very old. So the demand for a shoulder wasn't that important at the time of construction.

@FlowJunkie65 2 года назад

What a great trip and video, Mike. Thank you for investing all the time AND EFFORT (all the time required to set up your video shots like riding down the hill only to ride back up it to capture the shot!) into making this epic video. It was so enjoyable to view. I got to relive some of my memorable travels in Italy through your video, but we traveled about Italy via train, so we didn't get the benefit of seeing all of the landscapes in-between the major cities. Ciao!

Enjoyed it the first time, even better the second. Any tips on bike security in the villages when you want to explore the cathedrals, museums, shops, etc. Always enjoyable, safe biking.

@colinwellman9480 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your trip Mike. Making these videos must be a lot of work. From stopping to set up the camera and filming yourself then returning for the camera. Plus the editing when putting it on RU-vid. Have you ever had a camera stolen or run over? I hope you take us along on more of your .adventures.

@Gelbseidenraupe Год назад

Thank's for all these impressions! I am going to make a tour this year in May, when it's hopefully not so hot and without any Corona masks.😉

@BikeTouringMike Год назад

That's great! Where are you planning on going?

@Gelbseidenraupe Год назад

I start in Milan in mid-May and then drive to Rome via Lucca, Siena and Viterbo. I think in 12-13 days you should manage well. 🚲

@brentirvine2336 2 года назад

Hey Mike, no videos in a bit - are you OK? I am not trying to pressure you, but am concerned there has been nothing from you for so long.

Great adventure Mike. Just recently found this channel, have been watching a lot, I have to say, the production value has improved a lot compared with older videos. Keep improving and here's to more adventures in the future! Who knows, perhaps we'll meet on the road somewhere in Sweden. :)

@carikeschoeman 2 года назад

Wow, what a find. I’m dreaming about cycling from Pisa to Rome and so enjoyed your video. Would you perhaps consider sharing your route maps through any of the platforms such as Strava, Komoot or Google maps? Also love all the info added in your description, priceless for a novice such as myself.

@BikeTouringMike 2 года назад

Hi Carike! Sorry for the late reply. I was planning on releasing an e-book with all the facts about the tour, with all the route. But I haven't gotten down to making it yet. But basically I followed the Eurovelo 5 for most of the time and made some deviations from it to be able to go to Florence, Pisa and some other towns.

@carikeschoeman 2 года назад

Thank you so much, looking forward to the book. We have only started our planning (and saving) and hopefully will be able to do our trip in 2023.

@lukasmojasernsund5073 2 года назад

Hello Mike! Super cool trip! We are thinking about doing something similar. Do you perhaps have a map for your trip? Also, we are a little concerned about the elevation gain/descent, what would you say is suitable for beginners? Thanks!

@sailingaeolus 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. If you ever tour the USA by bicycle (which I do not recommend), know that here in Las Vegas we've recently had two deaths from Mexican and black youth deliberately running down white bicyclists. Racial issues and violence against minority whites (now many areas) inspired by left-wing politics is now very common. In the eastern US there are rails to trails (rail lines converted to bike paths) which are safe because you are on a bicycle/pedestrian only trail.
