So inspiring! Me and my wife were looking at getting a tandem bike and this video has just helped us decide to get one! Thanks for the awesome awesome video!
You both are amazing ! An truly lucky to have each other . I wish I could find a women to go on adventures like that with me lol .Always happy cycling and Forever Enjoy Life .
My partner and I cycled the entire stretch of the Manali-Leh highway with four others finishing off with the climb up the Khardung La in August 2015. As you menntioned in your video certain things you just couldn't prepare for, the crazy dreams, the tingling lips ( one of our cycling compatriots who is a doctor said it was from taking diamox to help allay the symptoms of altitude sickness) the truck convoys and the condition of many stretches of the road tested you to your absolute limit, but was an experience we will never forget and hope to do another himalayan adventure in the next few years. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Laura and weyman , first of all i would like to greet your attempt , passion to the cycling and also you are one the most lucky husband in the world!!!!!!!. You people made ME to think- "' The life is endless, with unstoppable adventure "( Thanks a lot for visiting my country)
Whoa. Now thats called a Love filled adventure. Some of the scenes right from Indiana Jones or even better. Greets and lots of love and respect from India. You guys have made me buy a cycle (bike) and I have decided to climb the K-top. Keep on inspiring. Regards
Thank you for this video, I enjoyed watching every minute of it. I thought the views would be at least a hundred thousand by the way it is shot and put together! You two look lovely, and I'm really happy that you managed to complete your epic journey! I'm a little bit more inspired now to take on a long journey of my own.
Isaac Alogov Thanks for the kind words Isaac! I hope you go on a epic journey you will never regret it! Bicycle travel has changed our lives and the way we look at the world :)
Simple and beautiful travelogue. People in India have hardly seen any tandem bike so they get excited when they see one. and, if i was in Laura's place, i would definitely want to switch seats, atleast during descent. Cheers to you guys..nd your adventure spirit. Keep travelling, keep exploring, and keep loving. nd be safe.
Bernie and I have followed all your trips. We are on the tandem and getting a bit older so our trips get a bit shorter. After 41 years married we do maintain and offer up the advice that which ever way your relationship is going a tandem will get there faster! We are heading off to Canada for a short trip next week. Congratulations on your wedding and always peddle on in all you do. We love your videos and we do want to come ride in Australia. Hope we can make it down under before we go under, or the old folks home!! Take care.
I’am into touring not bike packing but in the States. Really like your little tandem setup. Not many are willing to tackle India. However, the people are really nice. Om!
Hello Laura and Ashley. Brent and Bernie from Idaho. Thanks so much for your story on cycling the highest road. We are heading out on our next adventure on the tandem down the west coast in Oregon. We love looking at your videos . Hope to come down under sometime. Thanks much!!
+Brent Jennings Thanks! All the best for your tour . We would love to head up that way some day too. So glad you enjoy the videos. Stay safe out there :) If you are ever bring the bike downunder drop us a line!

Lovely job....Keep up you guys......Not sure if you'll are aware of AWAKENING a strange fetish for CYCLING UP TO KHARDUNGLA among all CYCLING ETHUs......Keep up the MARVELOUS WORK.
FANTASTIC VIDEO! 👍👍👍 ❤️ Some days ago I joined Austria's Hochalpenstrasse on my BiCYCLE 🚲. At the top you have the view to Austria's highest mountain: The GROSSGLOCKNER. NO TRAFFIC 🚌 🚐 🚙🚗 🏍️ just COWS 🐮 (Thanks CORONA 😷) 😀. Best regards from AUSTRIA! 🏔️
Hello Ashley and Laura from Idaho. We really love watching your videos! Congratulations on your accomplishments and wedding. We just bought a Co-motion tandem with 700c wheels. You would love it. Take care and blessings.
You should have also travelled from Leh to Srinagar . There exits the bloody Zozila pass, the most adrenaline rushing pass in India and the route is very scenic too.
Dear friends it is nice to see and hear you aga,n even if on the screen. This road is my dream and hope one day to go to the top of the world. Thank you for this hihg quality video. May be one day we can meet again.
Superb guys lucky enough to ride together may god bless you with all the happiness of world. This 7 of august we r going for khardungla ride me & my friend it will help us a lot. Though we did it in 2013 but didn't completed it as i suffered hypothermia attack hopefully this year we will see khardungla for sure.....
I watched this not knowing that you are vegan, Hooray!!I me too, sort of guessed that you might be at least vegetarian when you where checking out the menu. Great video.
+Simon Nicoll-Griffith That is great Simon! it was super easy to do as a vegan . Lentils everywhere :) Hope you can get out there one day. Beautiful place.
@@theflyingcyclists Read here the adverse effects of eating lentils, you will be surprised: books.google.fr/books?id=WqfACQAAQBAJ&pg=PA200&lpg=PA200&dq=lentils+cause+depression&source=bl&ots=JcKlw1rmMI&sig=_F_g2SV7O5IKbnIS7yVQ_7gyuEA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwibtojM1pnYAhUIxRQKHenrCdkQ6AEIWTAH#v=onepage&q=lentils%20cause%20depression&f=false
And so I don't come across as just a negative Nancy with my below post, here's a positive contribution... I highly recommend reading "A Bicycle Built for Two Billion" by Jamie Bianchini. Two college friends decide to embark on an around-the-world ride on, not one, but TWO tandems! Why? They embark on their trip with an empty rear seat as a way to share their world tour with others by inviting random people to join them on the back of their tandems. How cool is that? Wish I had thought of it! It's a heart-warming and sincere book. Bianchini is honest and forthright when sharing his feelings about life, the trip, love and everything. Pretty damn good for a U$C grad! (Go Bears!)
Wow, that's a lot of miles on flat handlebars! Bar ends, for sure! You haven't considered drops? A friend of mine rode 'cross the USA. A few hundred miles in he was cursing his flat handlebars. BIG mistake. But kudos to you two. You make tandem couples look GOOD! Happy trails twogether!
