In this episode, we leave a campground in Valemount, BC and head to Mt. Robson. The mountains are here and they are here to stay! On the way, I spot a big crew of community volunteers picking up garbage from the side of the road. Hwy. 5 has a LOT of garbage. We camp at the Robson Meadows Campground.
The next day, we bump into Domingo and his friend from @bicicleando_por_el_mundo (IG) - they are heading for Alaska. One of the garbage pickup volunteers from the previous day, who is a cyclist himself, stops to give us snacks. Thank you! We camp at Lucerne Campground, where I interview Marine and Nathan of @family_by_coeur (IG) and we talk about touring with a young child, and their cross-Canad adventure.

I'm missing the mountains so thank you for bringing them to me a little bit. So lovely to see a little more of Marine and Nathan as well. Another great video Agnieszka!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you so much for watching! I admit that editing these videos of riding in the mountains is incredibly rewarding. I LOVE the mountsins. They are spectacular.

@shuttle461 Год назад

Love watching parks and nature in general. I'm not Canadian but through your videos I managed to know a bit of your country. Thanks!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

This trip showed me a lot of Canada I've never seen before.

@scottfrazer4669 Год назад

I'm very inspired seeing a 9-year-old on a bike tour! My son is 4 so I only have 5 years left :)

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

There were two other families t i urong with kids this past summer. I think the youngest child was 7!

@Brackers64 Год назад

What an amazing experience for the 9 year old. Another great video, scenery is spectacular. Bob...

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

It certainly is! Thank you.

@DavidWalker-wz9rl Год назад

Nathan is hilarious :) Must have been fun riding with him and his Mom.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

He is! He had enough energy for the three of us!

@mikebauer9948 Год назад

Beautiful. Looking forward to next episode. It's a big country, so much to see/experience.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you! Yes, there was a lot of beauty to see along the way.

@the1andonly Год назад

Great video in an area I'm very familiar with. Thanks for engaging so well with the people you meet along the way. It is awesome to see a 9 year old cycle across Canada.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

The mountains were my absolute favourite to ride through. If it weren't so cold, I wouldn't stayed much longer.

@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures Год назад

What an amazing experience for a kid to have!! Mt. Robson area is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Cheers

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

It absolutely is! They rode through the most mountainous and hilly regions as well. No shortcuts for them. Thanks for watching.

@anujkerketta2947 Год назад

Good morning 🌅

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Good morning.

@TheBikeLife Год назад

He's a big nine! Ah, bien sur, they are French! Europeans seem much more liberal and even risk-taking with their kids. I admire it and respect it!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I do have to add that there were two other families riding across Canada with their kids (that I know of). Both Canadian. But in all three cases, I can't imagine the level of perseverance it took on the parents' side. Not only did they have to push through their own personal obstacles, but also manage those of their kids'. Incredible! But what an experience for the family.

@Rino-bicycle Год назад

Very nice sceneries, the interview was fun too, what a great experience and souvenir, it will be for this young boy. You did very well in B.C. with the hills.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you for watching! The scenery is about to get even better as I ride through the Rockies.

@baretgibot Год назад

That's quite an accomplishment for a 9 year old I subscribed to your page as I have a red Runner plus and a regular bike

@ofwolfanddan Год назад

Stunning scenery!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

It was so beautiful!

@MeataVore Год назад

Just recently found your channel and love your style and of course your cycling. I am from Ireland and do much the same all over my own country but your are super spoiled by wonderful scenery. Love your channel.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you. Each country has its own beauty. Canada is so vast and every province has something unique to offer. Thank you for watching!

@maidbloke Год назад

What a lucky lad! Great video.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Agreed!

@Fiberface Год назад

Oh to be his age and seeing all of those places, so many stories he's going to have the rest of his life. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes, he is a very lucky boy! Thanks for watching.

@WilliamPhillippe Год назад

Good heavens, the vistas just improve on themselves! So inspirational to see you all out there, not least the mother & son combo. Stupendous!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

And they will only get better when I ride the Icefields Parkway. That was out of this world beautiful. Thanks for watching!

@feeshac1974 Год назад

I look forward to all your uploads! Love your videos. So inspiring 😊 I plan on “biking” with you! I’m just starting my biking journey and am going to hook up my laptop to the tv and watch you bike while I workout on my stationary bike!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Amazing! I hope you had a good workout! Thank you for watching. 😉

@adventureswithjosie Год назад

That's neat that you are getting to meet so many different people on bikes along your trip! My family and I visited that same visitor centre at Mount Robson many years ago during a trip out west. My mom actually did a painting of the mountain!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Wow! That's amazing to hear about your mom's painting. It's a stunning place and I can understand the inspiration.

@adventureswithjosie Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike She used to do a lot of painting years ago. Hopefully she'll be able to get back into it soon. She painted a few other mountains and locations from Western Canada as well.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

That's amazing. It's a skill i admire and I don't have! I saw a lot of "painting spots" in Northern Ontario, the Group of Seven spots I believe. An amazing initiative as the spots they were located in were stunning.

@adventureswithjosie Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Yes I've heard of those spots! I haven't been to any of those spots yet but definitely would like to visit some!

@adventureswithcrohns9778 Год назад

I know I've ridden it before and filmed it but I really can't wait to see you ride the Parkway!! I'm so excited for it! Jasper is my all time favorite place in the world and the Parkway is so stunning! I'm actually planning to ride it again next summer which will my first real solo trip! Even with riding across Canada now, I've only ever done a two day solo ride so I'm really excited to spend a few days alone in the Rockies on my bike! Also, I feel you on the tent drying! My god, it was constant. Even though I didn't really have any condensation issues (aside from one day), it was just the constant morning dew and no time to dry it out. I often had to pack up wet and hope it would dry enough when I would set it up before bed.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I'm so excited for your trip! If I could, I'd go back there again. It was my favourite section of the tour. I'd actually like to do a garbage cleanup there, on a bike. There was way too much garbage there.

@adventureswithcrohns9778 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Count me in if you ever come back and do that! I love that idea!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I will keep that in mind! But in the meantime, enjoy your first real solo trip next season. What a spectacular ride to do solo.

@joshandjamesvosperfromhere6887 Год назад

Another great video! It seems as if Marine and Nathan were a part of your tour in BC to Ab, was this planned or spontaneous? Thanks for including them in your story! What a blessing for 9 yr old Nathan, and what an achievement!!!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

They were! We met at a rest stop on the way to Clearwater, BC. Totally unplanned. Because I ride so slowly, and so do they, and because we were going in the same direction, we could continue together. We separated in Jasper, AB, and then ran into each other again on the Icefields Parkway. And then we rode together to Drumheller, AB.

@joshandjamesvosperfromhere6887 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike awesome! Sharing a campsite may have reduced cost? Safety in numbers too! DrumHRELLer is an extremely hot area. When we traveled through (during the hottest part of the day), they had broke a record high! According to one measurement it was already 42 degrees Celsius!!! I don't mind it hot, but this day was unbearable! Hope you had cooler weather on Drumheller. Looking forward to the rest of the story!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes! We could share the camping costs most of the time. That was great. Drumheller was warm, but not hot when I was there. Interestingly, we weren't able to share a Campsite there. They wouldn't let us.

@joshandjamesvosperfromhere6887 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike interesting about the campsite. We rested in the air-conditioned Boston Pizza for 2+ hours, went to the splash park to cool off and stayed in Hana (a Provincial Park near by).

@alethearobinson8132 Год назад

Another wonderful video. The mountains through there are stunning. The interview with your traveling companions was delightful. Thanks for putting the dates on the video to give us an idea of when you were in the area. Looking forward for the next chapter.🤗🚴‍♀️

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thanks for watching. The mountains and the views are about to get better! I'm glad you enjoyed the interview, it's good to hear other people's perspectives on the ride.

@geoffreyhoney122 Год назад

Another awesome video Agnieszka! Thank you for the breathtaking views! Loved the interview with Marine et Nathan. They were brave to embrace english. Love their perspective on riding. Proves that everyone is different and it is possible. I really appreciate how Marine modifies to accommodate Nathan's age and abilities so well! Looking forward to the Alberta video. Inspirational!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you for watching! The views will only get better. The Icefields Parkway was incredible. I was very lucky to had ridden with Marine and Nathan. It was my first time riding in a group, and I picked up a lot of tips from them along the way. While we parted ways in Jasper, we reconnected again on the Icefields. It was a great surprise!

@vickyjimandthelunatic Год назад

I noticed you subscribed to my channel so I thought I'd check out yours. Wow! You do such a great job of making the videos! I really enjoyed the way you put it all together. I wish I could sit down with you and learn how to do it it better. I was wondering how long you've been doing this? I just started when I did my own trip this summer and it's been a huge learning experience. I won't be going again for awhile, but when I do, I'm hoping to improve my videos. Thanks for sharing! Very enjoyable to watch!!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you for checking out the channel! I appreciate it. I found yours when you did your bike overview, I love seeing other people's setup. Thank you, it's been a long learning process. I started publishing on my channel in January 2021, so it's been a long learning journey. I have no prior experience, so the learning curve has been steep, but I enjoy the editing process (much more than filming).

@vickyjimandthelunatic Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike - one more question. As you could see I my videos, I was supported by my husband (and dog!) who drove in an RV and would meet me at the end of each ride. I really didn't relish the idea of camping by myself as a single female. Have you ever worried about your safely when alone? How about getting stranded? It happened to me once when I broke my chain in Kansas and I could not have fixed it myself. I was literally in the middle of nowhere and just very grateful to have cell service to call my husband. He was able to find me and get my bike to a shop for a new chain. Just wondering your take on all that. You do seem very capable!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Good questions. No, I never worried about camping by myself. But I made sure I was always comfortable with where I stayed. I don't wild camp. If I did not feel comfortable, for whatever reason, I'd leave and find another option. I carried a satellite tracker and was in constant touch with my family. I didn't have any breakdowns, but took the bike for frequent preventative checkups when in bigger cities. I'm not a bike mechanic and could not fix much myself but trusted that if anything happened, I would be ok and that things would work out. They always did.

@johnbeaver3911 Год назад

The winter is coming. Do you plan to continue riding during the winter or stay somewhere and start again when it's spring?

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I finished my trip already. But I do commute by bike in the winter time.

@johnbeaver3911 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Oh, really? I thought you just arrive at the border of BC. I also wish I could ride across Canada and back to the starting point. Is it possible to ride across Canada in the winter? I know the temperature could be as low as -40+ degrees C during the winter somewhere in Canada.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

I leave dates in the videos. The two days for this video were June 3 and 4th. To answer your question, yes, it's possible to ride in the winter provided you have the right gear and have accomodation options. @jabig rode across Canada in the winter, but he stayed indoor every night I believe.

@johnbeaver3911 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Thanks! Hopefully you can review and publish the resources and tools you used to plan and organize riding across Canada. For example, how to plan the route, how to find the safe camping site, how to eat, sleep, even go to toilet outdoor, how to deal with animal or potential danger on the road, such and such.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thank you for these. I am thinking of putting togrthet a how to video, so thank you for the points you just shared, as I never really know what people are interested in, unless they tell me.
