Do you want to do this again?

commuting video without any commute bike 😮

did a version of this loop 7/24-26 on a loaded rivendell atlantis with platform pedals. Started in Silverton, did cinnamon pass first, camped before grizzly gulch (dispersed). Felt like I needed a recovery day in Lake City before attempting engineer pass. Engineer pass from lake city was less of a challenge than cinnamon pass (I might have been better acclimated or did better with my fuel consumption/pacing). I debated buying a pair of alterras in Lake City after seeing this video, but the hike a bike was manageable with my gravel shoes (no SPD clips though so that might have made the hike a bike more difficult in steep areas with loose rocks). Descent from Engineer pass was long and VERY ROCKY bumpy, possible on non-suspension road/touring bike but not the ideal machine for this terrain. I ran 50 mm Soma Cazaderos with tubes, tire liners, and sealant and fortunately despite the terrain did not suffer a flat or tire malfunction. This is a very demanding ride and would be better appreciated spread over 2 nights to fully appreciate the scenery and to reduce the odds of injury or accident. Overall the off-road drivers were fairly respectful and only had a few bad actors in the 2 days I was riding the loop.

When you are on a bike, you are, in a sense, "naked". Even though you are fully clothed, you are, comparatively speaking, naked. Vulnerable to all sorts of things in the bicycling environment, and, at the same time, totally free. Where you go, and how you get there, are not dictated by the gas tank, or gas pump for that matter. You're not stuck in traffic, because if you know your way around, you know you have all kinds of little holes you can wiggle through on your bike. You know all the routes that will get you around that train, or road construction, or traffic jam. You notice more things, while on a bike, than you do stuffed in a car. And, you don't have to taxi some nagging in-law, or some neighbor, who thinks they're entitled to waste your time, and whine about everything.

I love this, let’s get out there.

Great inspiration! Thanks! 🙏🏻

I am 62 years old, and as someone who was born and raised in Key West, i have never owned a car. , i ride a surly long haul trucker and a lectric 3.0 that i added a second 20 ah battery to.

Thanks for all the hard work. Rehab'ed trail looks great!

Excellent job documenting the people, the project, and the fun to be experienced volunteering on the Arizona National Scenic Trail. Thank you, Megan!

You don't need expensive kit either. Just cycle in your work stuff, or day to day clothes. If you get hot slow down, cold speed up. Just invest in waterproofs

Wow! Awesome

The stuff you run into while biking is one aspect I enjoy a lot. You begin to come out of your little world when you bike and see things you wont see any other way other than jogging...nope not for me. I like to ride along rivers or in a town i've never been in before an experience I would never realize in a car, yuck. I could list many things I've seen but one that sticks out is a cat village along a path that I was blessed enough to ride. lol all those cats looked like show cats well fed, beautiful and laid back and some were sleeping and wouldn't even open their eyes as I passed by.....wild. Mercedes silver arrow here with about 200 miles on the od and loving every mile. oh the lumos e-bike helmet with all the cool lights on it rocks get it.

Nice! Thanks for sharing... How do you think the top will be on March 9, 10th?? Considering it by then...

Still my top 3 ride to do in AZ!! 😍 - good work missy.

I'll do a hike with you.

Could not agree more. If only our local governments would pay more attention and create better, safer biking infrastructure. We would all benefit tremendously.

I made this video as part of green short video festival. Still enjoy watching it. Shows me the joy of riding bikes ) check it out th-cam.com/video/HYNBEDq6x48/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uZ9OfcymqT5jTs7n

Guys i enjoy riding my bike i feel something that i can't even explain. Healthy lifestyle 😊

I ditched the car in 2020 been bicycle commuting ever since cycling brings me happiness and financial freedom

Riding is an almost perfect experience - a natural, enjoyable activity that lets you cover remarkable distances with minimal effort, is good for your mind and body and can be done by almost anyone, regardless of age. And it is readily available to anyone who wants to try.

The helmet has a really nice design and I like the fit! Perfect for me.

This is a really great tutorial! Thank you for making it.

Im 59 and ride my bike 4 time a week to my Amazon warehouse job after giving up a car, im in exultant health as the bicycle has saved my life.

London ontario? Or London England?

What brand is the bike @2:15

super perfect...but how you manage sweat

I feel free on a bike.

I have always wondered whether you can take an e-bike on a social group ride. I wonder if there are any etiquette that would be broken.. Not had the courage to join my friends with my ebike and their fast road bikes, would I even be able to keep up?

Most peoples don’t realize how magnificent is to be on bike. Give a try and start slowly but it’s an amazing feeling in the end. Thanks for the great video, btw what’s the soundtrack name ?

It'd be good to know what this thing costs.

did y two do the 50 mile loop that shows on MTB project ?

Impressive

Am Lawrence from sa I also ride every single day to work... And it is really awesome the is less stressful. ❤️

I am sure this is an oxymoron = you don't look cool dressed in black on a bike YOU CAN NOT BE SEEN so why think you look cool ? Only in your own head you do ! LOOK at the woman at the start she has high viz top a high viz bag and high viz boots she will live longer than you !And she does look COOL!

Commute by bike 2-3 days a week, 22 miles round trip, takes me an hour each way. I’m not in perfect shape. I’m 45. I also recommend a pedal assist e-bike for days you need assistance. It’s life changing. I am saving money on gas. I’m getting into better cardio shape. It’s good for the environment. As a side note, i don’t dress into cycling gear like these people. I commute in regular clothes. May even try to wear some high heel pumps one of these days. Just try it!!

I went to work for the first time few days ago and I felt great all day. Once you try it there is no turning back . Burn fat ,not gas 🙂.

I think this was beautifully done. If I heard the judge correctly, he did get a glimpse of Gwen thru this video. Thank you for all you've done for Michael, and continue to do to #BeLikeGwen --- Sandee "Sister"

Never getting the chance to meet Gwen will always be one of my many regrets in this life. But hearing about her through her family and friends, I got to know the kind of woman, the kind of human, that she was. She always has and always will serve as an example of what we should all strive to be. We should all try a little harder to #BeLikeGwen

항상 안전하게 당신의 라이딩을 즐기세요

And it’s good for the environment! 🌏

Great camp! A bunch of Studettes too...

Studette!!

Ms... Megan, you can pull it off! Motor pace me! pls ;)

I ride every day since October 2020, in rain, sun, cold and sick ! 300 km a week and 15 thousand a year ! Check out my year on Strava ! My goal is to turn my city into Copenhagen !

Look my Strava !

I have 3 mtbs,clothes,shoes,helmet and goooooooood tires,I like to ride because of the less stress, hassles,I can leave and not worry about a gas station not being open,or paying for gas period 😅

What a simple but ABSOLUTELY AWESOME video!!!!! Well done!!!!!

That's sweet. The world needs more of this humanity and care-focused thinking!! Great story!!
