Bicycle Tour Mistake | Cycling the World: We say farewell to Central Asia and our cycling companion Karl, with whom we cycle the last phenomenal stretch of the Pamir Highway. The decision we had been putting off for a long time can now no longer wait. We misinformed ourselves about obtaining the Chinese visa and the question is: what will we do next? …in the end we get on a plane out of Kyrgyzstan to a completely different place in the world!

Wow! These last 3 videos are so incredible! I think the magic of your journey, any journey, is to go somewhere that is so far from home, it is almost unrecognizable! So incredible. I also want to extend an invitation to come visit the states and cycle here. I from NC originally but now live in Florida. Come cycle to the keys! Also, seriously consider the west coast. So much to see. I lived in LA for years. The route from San Francisco to Los Angeles is breathtaking! Cheers and be safe. ✌️

Just seeing the exit sign, I knew which country you landed in. I live here. I have to agree with you wind is so hard to cycle in, even when it's flat, we can hardly move. At least hills we can see it but wind is so hard to gauge.

You dodged a bullet going to China. It's no longer a very cycle friendly country nor a foreigner friendly country. We did a similar trip a couple of years ago and ran into countless issues with police turning us away constantly. We ended up calling that section of the trip quits and going somewhere a little more inviting to continue. Live these videos

And often it's pretty emotional watching you guys go through this and I say that because it would be really nice to be able to do that with somebody, and that in itself to find that one person that wants to do all this globally let alone in someone's home country is to be quite honest mind boggling difficult to find somebody willing to tour I'd even be happy to find somebody wants a tour in my own country of the United States...

@StarEssences
@StarEssences 4 года назад
This was filmed originally back in July (according to the date listed on this video) where are you currently now? What has been your cost so far in keeping up with your bike maintenances? How long do you think you'll continue to bike tour? i.e.: Lohan Guiverev another bike tourist; a young man who is from Canada and has ridden across America then to South America and has been on his bike now for over five years. He said by 2020 he will be in Europe somewhere. Do you get any body/muscle injuries from riding a lot? Looking to get answers before I do my bike touring so I know what to expect.
@WheelstoWander
@WheelstoWander 4 года назад
Hi Tracey, we're now in Vietnam. We follow Iohan as well, he's making some great adventure video's! We are planning to cycle on for at least half a year. Our budget is slowly running out and eventually we have to work again. In the beginning we had saddle sores which slowly got better over time, besides that we didn't have many problems. Some stretching really helps to stay flexible as well! We don't have an exact overview of our total costs for bike maintenance, we did invest in quality gear upfront (including bike material) and that really paid off... We didn't have much problems in the beginning of our trip except for a flat tire here and there. As you ride east replacement parts get cheaper unless you need specific parts that you can only order online. Some months we don't have any costs at all, but things can break unexpectedly and then suddenly we have to replace something and costs can add up from 10 to a 100 euro's... hard to say! When you spread the costs out, count on around 20 euro's a month for bike maintenance?!

Wheels to Wander Yes and no. Japan occupied Taiwan at one time, so there are some architectural remnants & cultural similarities, but they are also so different & unique. Would be impossible for me to pick a favorite. But my ex girlfriend is from Taiwan, and i lived there longer, so it has a special place in my heart. I highly recommend you cycle there if you get the chance. Especially down the east coast. So so beautiful. Giant bicycles has their headquarters there, and it is a cyclist’s paradise. Best dumplings in the world too(Din Tai Fung). But Japan is so amazing as well. I hope you enjoy your journey thru it and look forward to your videos from there!

good choice, probably a good deal safer considering the recent developments in the geopolitical climate.

Yeah probably a good choice to avoid China, a friend of mine cycled there last year and was often forced by the police to stay in the most expensive hostel of whichever town he was passing through, there are really nice bits of China but lots of restrictions and corruption, especially when the state deal with foreigners. We have to make the same decision at the end of central asia next year and will probably cycle through India unless China suddenly decides to use a 21st century visa policy :D geniet van Japan jongens!

It's a real problem in Xinjiang. Where the Chinese officials are extremely suspicious of foreigners because of the Uyghurs unrest, especially if you have a camera in your hands. My friend got detained six times by the police, and had to stay in detention centers overnight for no reason. The police will search through all the photos in your phones, your cameras and laptops. And install some app in your phone to track you, very scary. After leaving Xinjiang, it's mostly fine.

@ Cycle our World, I wouldn't count on it this 21th century policy! 😉 We heard some unpleasant stories about China, people generally liked the south (Yunnan / Sichuan) more... You can get an E-visa for Pakistan so that could be a great continuation of your journey to India, this is what we wanted to do at first. You do have to cross Xinjiang, but we heard this part of the province is less of a problem to travel through. Don't forget to get the Chinese visa in your home country ;-)

Love your videos but please lose the shitty background music. Its difficult to hear what you are saying much of the time.

Thank zerofighter, you're right (although we don't think the music is shitty 😉) it is a little out of balance! Someone mentioned it before and we're happy to receive constructive criticism 👌
