Hej Allihopa!
I was an exchange student in Sweden way back in 97/98 and I'm back to pedal the length of this beautiful country. I'm starting my adventure above the Arctic Circle in Kiruna, and I'll make my way down to the bottom of Sweden where my host family lives. In this episode, I saw goodbye to my gracious hosts, get blasted by the wind, check out the charming town of Gränna (Candy Canes), celebrate the 4th of July in a cozy hotel room and ride 135 miles to the border of Skåne (I'm almost home!)

Imagine living in a country where one can set items out for sale and can trust fellow countrymen to pay for the goods without fear of theft! Wow, very appealing!

@mathewrose2951 11 месяцев назад

Can I just say. how nice it is that each video is uploaded at the same time on Sunday. It drops right before we leave for mass.

@nearly-blindbrian8372 11 месяцев назад

I imagine the Sides are blown away with you speaking Swedish. I imagine you are one of the few Americans or anyone who is a foreigner speaking their language..

@vickiburkart1504 11 месяцев назад

I so much enjoyed this Swedish series, the scenery was epic, but the people are a breath of fresh air. I'm 75 a native of California, residing near S.F. It's the wild west out here. Leaving your bike anywhere even double chained, very high possibility it will be gone. Your videos are top quality. I have been following you for years, love every one of them. I've become a Patreon, because "you do add value to my life." Can't wait until next Sunday, when you hook up with your second family. Be safe.❤

Keep in mind that Ryan is visiting the rural Sweden where actual swedes live in a great majority. People are in general honorable like in the old days at these places. If you move towards bigger towns and cities you cannot be naive anymore. People are not genuine, and anything that is not locked by frame to something will most likely be gone very soon. Hey, I don't even want to let my 20 year old 100 bucks bike stay outside. The area were Ryan is heading towards outside Malmö (Looks like it's Lomma) is infested with despicable people. Now, Lomma is the very light variant of the spectrum but Malmö is bleeding its poison to neighboring towns.

I look forward to these videos every Sunday and will miss them when they end. Anders is lovely, as were your hosts, and that cut little cottage. A journey is what you make it and how you interact with the people you meet, and you have met some wonderful people. Of course, they react well to you because you are so charming and friendly yourself. If there were more people like you, perhaps the world would not be in the turmoil it is currently. Best wishes.

Wanting one's country to be better, to strive to live up to its best, cherished ideals, is the best form of patriotism. It applies to all our countries. Happy 4th from Canada. I'm interspersing your videos with Pekka Tahkola's video releases of his September randonneur ride from Latvia to northern Finland, partially through Sweden - never get tired of cycling road trips. 🙂

@ryan, you are so strong! I'm same age as you and starting to realize that kilometers while running or biking doesn't get any easier! But, I'm so thankful that I do can run and bike further than most. But not as you do! Be proud and thankful! So nice to see you slow down some and enjoy my country! I would love to go to US Bolder Colorado, some time...

@DylTyrril 11 месяцев назад

While it's hard to believe your epic Swedish bikepacking journey is near its end, it's been nothing short of amazing and inspiring following the entire thing. Admittedly, it's also a bit surreal witnessing you take in your 4th of July on October 9th, our Canadian Thanksgiving. Time truly waits for no one, and we all need to take a moment or two to appreciate the simple joys life has to offer.

This is great Ryan, loving the longer episode. Anders (spelling) seems like a real nice guy. The people make the world great, we all just need to realize that.

@emp-ty-g 11 месяцев назад

think there are more lawn movers than swedes now :) been in jønkøping twice on bike rides now. (gøteborg - jønkøping -kalmar, to times) and was at the same places as you. its such a small world sometimes. i am from denmark and like to ride in sweden.

@MartinVesiaidNilsson 11 месяцев назад

Seeing all your chance encounters with people and beds has given me an idea. Maybe you should do a challenge and ride with no tent. Just announce your route and hope your Patreons and followers will help you out 😁 However it ends, it will be enjoyable for us watching 😅

When you stay in a hotel, do you just waltz in with the bike to the room? I stayed three times at hotels while on bicycle trips and two had some storage areas and in one I had to leave my bike behind the reception counter.

Dear Mr Van Duzer, I'm Brazilian, 61 years old, and I've been riding a bike since I was 11, when I learned. Even today, I continue biking on single track, hiking and camping for a night. Your videos and adventures are really very inspiring, and bring a lot of happiness in simple things, and even on very rainy days. Finally, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for sharing your adventures. Congratulations!!!

@rabh6746 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video once again Ryan, Sweden is so beautiful👌133 miles is some going in those conditions, kudos to you for persevering through that rain👍How nice was Anders, he finally caught up with you😊We just had almost 40 hours of incessant rain in Scotland but it finally stopped a couple of hours ago, so I have a big ride planned for tomorrow😁Around 112 miles of hopefully dry weather🤞with light winds for a nice change!

@aliancemd 11 месяцев назад

You hooked me on this Sweden adventure and I’ve watched some of the other videos - if feels like you matured even more, practicing gratefulness in hard moments. I’ve seen lots of sweet qualities in this trip which is something to aspire to or keep in mind

@23Gears 11 месяцев назад

Amazing as always Ryan. This series is making me appreciate my wonderful home country (I moved here 25 years ago from the UK) even more. Do you know about the huge bike race each year around Vättern- Vättern runt. A 300km fun race for amateur cyclists. If you can't bring your bike over, maybe in the future you can hire a bike and ride the race with thousands of other cyclists. Det är en riktig folkfest!

@ummit8 11 месяцев назад

Just came back from Sweeden, fell in love with the forest and really enjoyed your show. Do write more book.

@alethearobinson8132 11 месяцев назад

What a great way to start a sunny Sunday morning. A Ryan Van Duzer adventure video. Followed by Bike Touring Mike. 🤗 Ryan, here's an idea for you. Plan and ride a gravel route to Breckenridge to see the Thomas Dambo (Danish artist) troll. There is another troll in Victor. They are amazing. Cheers. 🌞🚴‍♀️🖖

@joelkalin9764 11 месяцев назад

Wow! Imagine that you made it all the way to the south of Sweden already! What a ride! Another piece of Sweden trivia, or two in fact: Prior to entering Jönköping, Ryan would pass the city of Huskvarna, base of operations for the company with the same name (int known as Husquarna) famous for garden tools, lawn mowers (and the robot mower encountered in this episode), chainsaws, dirtbikes (all swedish fireballs!") and other eqipment. I believe the common name for Husquarna products in the states is "Husky" but feel free to correct me on that. Trivia piece no2: Ludvika, which is close to Söderbärke which Ryan passed some eposides ago, is home to Finnmarksturen, a 50 mile long mountainbike race which takes place annually and has been going strong for about 30years.

@JordanPike 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for these amazing episodes Ryan! I click them right away every time. Thank you for reminding me to get outside and have adventures! It's been a tough year, and these really help.

@rickardward1213 11 месяцев назад

I was happy to see that you rode near my ancestral home of Östra Sönnarslöv. My 2nd great grandfather Oke Pehrsson Salisbury left there for America in 1957. My first name, Rickard is Swedish.

@leonjohansson6542 11 месяцев назад

Ya. My grandfather from Sweden kept on going to homestead south of Havre Montana 120 years ago. Skipped over Minnesota. Still a bunch of dang Swedes scattered across the northern states. Even a pack of them here at the mouth of the Columbia.

I love your videos. Do you prefer to do these rides alone? I would think it would be so much more fun riding with someone. I’m sure with your fan base you could ease find someone that matches your skills to ride with you. I find it somewhat lonely riding a great distance alone. I give you so much credit.

@cyclingforfitness9337 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great videos, Ryan. I rode RAGBRIA 2023 and had no problems until about two weeks later when my knee started acting up. After a few weeks of Advil and a medical ice machine, I'm about ready to get back into it. Sitting out from cycling so long, I get motivation from your videos to get going again, which I am doing in two weeks with Columbus Outdoor Pursuits. Cheers, my friend!
