After being on the road and living on my bike for the last eight months, I have had to go through all of the trials and tribulations of bringing my bike onto buses, boats, trains and airplanes. In many of these cases, I was pretty nervous beforehand, but now that I have done it all, I am a lot more comfortable! In this video I will talk about the how to travel with your bike on these methods and will provide some tips regarding how to make your journey go smoothly.
After this video, stay tuned because I will be posting many more videos soon about tips and tricks, logistics and more for both backpacking and bikepacking! I will also share my entire journey around the US and Canada with you!
Do you have a question? Feel free to drop it in the comments or message me for more information! Happy trails!
