In this video I explore the mountains on Vancouver Island on my adaptive mountain bike and I share how I load my bike into my van by myself.

Thanks for another great video. Genius set up for your bike. You inspire me to think more about doing some solo camping. I'm an able-bodied, married female and my husband and I are in the process of doing a low-budget build in a new to us 2006 Sprinter - for traveling, not living fulltime. We travel together quite a bit, but I've only gone on one van trip alone out of necessity. I'm honestly just scared! Seeing what other women are doing solo is pushing me in the direction of planning a solo trip. Keep sharing your adventures and inspiring all types of people!! Safe travels.

It’s certainly daunting when you start solo travels, but just start with a small trip that you’re comfortable with. It’s amazing how quickly you’ll embrace it and feel good doing it. Thanks for supporting my channel and have a great time on your solo trip!

That backup system might be our backup for the Superarm. Or do you have something else figured out for that? Really appreciate your sharing these videos.

@Keepinitwheel306 9 месяцев назад
If my Superarm is broken (which happened), I’m able to transfer from my wheelchair to the van floor at the sliding door. Then I pull my chair in through that door and get into it. Lots of effort required but it’s doable!

What a beautiful place, I have never ridden a mountain bike before. I did try a road hand bike before. Did you try both and go with the mountain bike one or did you get it to suit where you would be traveling to? Great ideas on the electrical winch and the pulley if the electric one failed.

@@aaroncates7924 they each have their appeal! The mountain bike makes sense for me since I’m usually around forestry roads and I can still ride it on pavement if I wanted. The road bike wouldn’t do very well on forest roads :)

You will be faced with that challenge in due time, I suggest practicing at least once. Perhaps in a safe and easy location. And once you have mastered this responsibility, you can learn to install snow chains, which are also very handy in slick muddy conditions.

Amazing and something fairly inexpensive as a fence post for ramps. I love people that can think outside of a box for ideas. An for the 2 ways of loading your bike is great. The manual is harder to work with but it's better than nothing for sure. Another great video and yes it did help me with ideas for loading and unloading my little 3 wheel scooter if I don't have help. Safe travels down the coast. Blessings! Sherry

Wonderful news! A scooter might be a bit heavier than my bike so my winch may not work, but I’m sure another wouldn’t be difficult to find. Happy trails to you!

@Keepinitwheel306
@Keepinitwheel306 29 дней назад
Hi! Yes the bike is equipped with impressive Fox suspension. This bike is 28 inches wide, it has an articulating front end to help it be narrower than most other bikes. It’s pricey though but worth it.

Lisa could I suggest you have a look at yacht tender lifts these are basically a telescopic arm that would bring the item it lifts clear of the back of the van, (I’m sure there’s channels on here that will go into depths about them, I only thought of it as I’ve been watching Aquaholic for a couple of hours and they use these tender cranes to lift small inflatables out of the water and into a small garage) It may not work for you at all but if it could be retro fitted to the underside of the bed (which may need some strengthening added) it could make life easier for you,
