@@BikeTouringMike happy to support your fantastic and informative presentations, learning about the newly created divide trail certainly is appreciated…. Flying over next April for 2 months of cycling…. It should be really wonderful, keep up the great work, Thanks Mike!!!
Great video. I like the format of your videos, a bit different and laid back than Ryan's - no disrespect - been a fan of Ryan for years 👌❤️. You two are a good bike-match. I would love to know a bit more about your bike and your setup. Skål fra Danmark 🇩🇰🇸🇪
I have made a video about all the gear I brought on the trip, and that video is due in two weeks time. I'll probably do a review video about my Kona Unit X real soon as well.
I saw and watched you on Ryan's channel when you first got off the bus to meet, first time viewer, new subscriber and a rider. Good stuff, cool to see another side of riding together story telling, thanks for the ride along. 🇺🇸✌👍🌴💪🤺
Yes, my father born 1931 whom grew up in Chicago whose parents migrated to the countryside of lower western Michigan to flee the crime of Chicago was 2nd generation American, tells one how long Chicago has been riddled with the same old crime issues, his grandfather was from Sweden, so was his grandmother with the last name of Olsen, so I guess that would mean mid 1800's both families migrated to the USA. Be good, take care.
Hello Brother Mike , Just Popped Over From Ryan's Channel. Been following Along And Enjoying Your Company. It Struck A Chord With You Leaving And Hit Me Out Of Left Field. You Definitely Brought On A New Dynamic For Sure. This Episode Is The First One Of Yours That I Have Watched And Throughly Enjoy Your Story Telling Projection. Looking Forward To Following Along Your Future Journeys. Stay Strong, Cheers
Fantastic video Mike, Sweden is so beautiful👌What a great camping spot by the lake👍Its a shame you have to leave Ryan now, it has been so much fun watching you both interact👍
We did see alot of EPA cars during our EDT. Sometimes it was ridiculous and sometimes it were very pretty cars, but never the less it was very funny to see. :D
They are very popular in small towns, and following the EDT you're going to run into a lot of them. They don't have to pass any DMV checkups either, hence the varied state of the cars.
Thank you Chris! I'm boarding the plane in about an hour to go on my next trip. I'll be posting updates from the trip here and on Instagram. Hint: it's a place with a lot less mosquitoes but plenty of wine and castles.
Hi, new subscriber here. I just came over from Ryan’s channel. And I remember seeing you and your family years ago on Darren’s channel. Looking forward to watching your travels.
Wow! 100 miles in a day - that's fantastic. I love all the beautiful scenery and wish I could take off and do the same thing. Thank you for all the videos. I've watch almost all of them. I can't wait to see where you go next!

@@BikeTouringMike Wine and castles, my two favorites! I’m guessing France! ps, your English is phenomenal! Did you study English in school or did you live in the statuses?
@@3sons4fun20 Mainly just self-taught. Watched a lot of Letterman & Seinfeld growing up. But Swedes are generally pretty fluent in English. My kids speak better than I do.
Hi Mike, great video. I love Scandinavian countries and their nature. Would you have a few tips on bike touring in Norway? I'm planning a 2 week tour in the Fjordland. Best wishes from Poland 😀
Great video as always. Looked at the reviews for the campsite you ended up at and lots of them talk about a grumpy unhelpful owner/manager on the site. I really don't know why people work in this type of business if they don't like people.
01:27 "when you have big panniers you are just looking through all 4 panniers before you find what you're actually looking for". perhaps you're a messy guy, I have 4 panniers and a dry bag, in pannier #1 I keep the sleeping bag and my pad, in pannier#2 my clothes, in pannier#3 food, in pannier#4 chargers, tools, cables, and stuff like that. in the dry bag I keep my tent and the rain gear. I know exactly where everything is. it looks pretty simple and practical to me.
