Asking Strangers to Ride a Tandem Bike With Me - The Random Tandem Ep. 2 

This is gonna be one of the most legendary RU-vid series ever

The stolen food gives me anxiety - that's my worst nightmare while touring!

Cameron, you're a great storyteller as well as an adventureer. Compelling viewing.

Subscriber 277 here. Greatly enjoyed your 2 episodes so far and am looking forward to all of them. Husband and I drove to the Yukon and Alaska in August this year and were surprised to see the many lone cyclists braving the secluded, steep and often potholed highways. Safe travels!

This is great, I watched Ed Pratt's Unicycle journey around the world recently and this is giving me similar vibes. Also your tribute to Hugh was very moving.

I chickened out of that same Clinton-Pavillion shortcut on my first tour from Calgary to Vancouver. Still need to go back and give that segment a go. The descent into Lillooet through the Fraser canyon is one of the most spectacular roads in Canada. The climb out to Pemberton is just as steep though! Rolling down the 99 and over the Lion’s Gate bridge is a spectacular milestone in any bike tour, no matter how far you still need to go. Wish I’d found you sooner, Id’ve loved to come out and help you up some of those nasty BC passes! If you ever find yourself back here, I can heartily recommend the run up Vancouver Island, followed by the ferry to Rupert and Haida Gwaii.

This is really good, man. I don't even bike tour, but I "do stuff." I choked up when you took time to pay tribute to your friend, Hugh. Any time I climb a mountain and check the summit register, I seem to find some remembrance of someone's loved one that passed away. It always gets me straight in the heart because you know what it's like to share those miles or those experiences with someone and it makes us think of the people we miss.

This is amazing Cam! I didn't think you could top the first episode, but you did!

Super interesting and fun to watch your travel adventure videos. Can't wait to see more! Take care my friend. Un fuerte abrazo.

What a wonderful tribute to your friend. 24:35

I can see you've gone through quite a bit of pain to bring us some enjoyment. Keep it up!!

So awesome! Safe travels Cameron, and thanks for sharing!

So glad I found this channel, what a beautiful story and journey. I was so excited when I got the notification for this video! Cant wait to see what you get up to next, best of luck and safe journeys ! Big love from Ireland!

i'm sure glad i stumbled onto this channel. thnx and good luck.

Top stuff. This is incredible.

What a great pick up line..!

Such a great video Cam. What an incredible journey so far. ❤

Thank you for sharing your adventure, stories, and natural abilities to connect with others.

Excellent adventure!

The skateboard dude, I do trips by Unicycle and his thing is just so cool.

Absolutely brilliant to watch ! Glad to see it all going so well !

What is it about bikes and cows. So many times I have experienced the same type of story. Great video

Hey Cameron. Really decent content, can't wait to see the next installment! Shame we couldn't meet up in La Paz, but I'm sure I'll catch you again down south. All the best from Durango

Your video just does something with me, it stirs up so much emotions. Right now I'm 28 years old and never had a big adventure I went on. Other things seem to have priority in order to get settled for in the future seem to get in the way; Get a good education and diploma, find suitable housing during a housing crisis here in the Netherlands, working on the side to survive off a student budget, not much wriggle room to do something. Was planning on being done when I was 24, but changed studies and had jobs in between. Now here I am, 28, still grinding but with the end in sight: I'm graduating in June 2023 and have a fairly big chance to find proper housing. I hope to finally be able to get on a proper adventure before I get a house. I have been longing for one, for actually seeing something of the world. On the way encounter hardships, to let the unexpected just be. I have an obsession with planning stuff out and being prepared for everything that could happen, minimizing risks and uncomfortableness. I hope an adventure, like jumping on a bike with just a finish line will let me learn that it'll be okay and to just enjoy the moment. Learn to enjoy the moment, and not focus on the next big thing that will improve your future life, at the cost of your current life. You're only young once. It's sad that you're on the other side of the world, and your ride will come to an end once I finally graduate, but I'd love to hop on that bike with you.

Incredible! Can't believe its taken me so long to find your gem of a channel. We recently bought our own comotion tandem. Maybe ill free up and be able to join you for a leg of your journey, if not, Ill do so virtually. Thanks for sharing!

Cameron you are a really inspiring guy! You have me hooked on your adventure and I look forward to following you on this trip. Stay safe and god bless you.

Whoo!

Incredible storytelling for an epic journey! Best of luck! I’ll be on the lookout for your next episode.

Amazing stuff Cam! I’ve been keeping an eye out for the next instalment. Your storytelling is inspiring and it truely captures the highs and lows of life on the road- keep it up you’re doing great!

We have an old Sears and Roebuck Ted Williams tandem bike.

Another great video Cam. Absolutely awesome mate

Brush passes by cars, trucks or buses are very unpleasant. Experienced a few myself. Glad that you recovered quickly.

Epic video mate, what an adventure! Looking forward to the next one.

You’re amazing 🤩

Damn this was the same guy who taught me in Aviation.

What a wonderful, prfect film.... at a perfect mement for me. I'm preparing for a tamdem journey with no plan or destination in mind, and today its raining. I didn't much feel like getting off the settee and dong the things I know I should be doing, but now, half an hour later you've inspired me (or kicked me) into getting things together. Thank you 🙂 Here's to Hue, he's still inspiring people too.

Warm regards from "Tugu Pal Putih" (The White Monument-the landmark of the Special Territory (of the Sultanate) of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Mr. Cameron Williams.

Another great video. Thank you.

I'm excited for your netflix deal!

Also if you have a BURNING passion to come east to Ontario I'd gladly ride with you lol.

riding a tandem bike is very much like having a passenger on the back of a motorcycle.. You need to teach the passenger to look over your right shoulder as you turn right.. That keeps you both in balance.. Teach your passengers this first and things will flow much easier..

Great times good luck Dan from Couer D alene friend of Wayne keep up the awesome adventure.

were are you cam now how the trip going i need to get back on the tandem be safe

Lovely!

Oh that 3,654km... 😭 A new subscriber from Mizoram, India.

Incredible

Be glad those are only black bears and are for the most part afraid of people but they have them in Alaska and in the western United States and that includes the Rocky mountains and those are grizzly bears and are not afraid of anything and can stand up to 12ft and weigh as much as 1500 pounds watch out for them also in the Rocky Mountains in western United States we have mountain which they are known to attack people

very nice Brother

Wow sick video

You can’t hang your food on a tree. Bears can climb. You need to get some parables and hanging it over a branch suspended in the air.

Ahhh Cam Your bikes still in better condition that that old Holden of yours…. Don’t tell me you actually wash it!!!

OK I see the problem with your food disappearing you are hanging the food right on the tree bears can climb try stretching a rope between 2 trees and hang the food in the center of the rope but bears are not the only animals you need to worry about stealing your food Wolverines and Badgers can both climb trees and they will steal your food

You need more protein 💪 fuel for your muscles

Have you got an email to discuss travel arrangements? Be great to pitch an idea!
