I make videos of some of my bike rides and release them into the wild here.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Beautiful Cycling on quiet, magnificent roads!
Sequoia and Kings Canyon NPs are contiguous therefore listed as one park. For some reason they're much less visited than their famous cousin Yosemite, but these parks are stunning. They're uncluttered by visitors and will open your eyes to the mighty Sierra landscape.

The variety of landscapes that we passed though kept me guessing I never knew what to expect except surprises. This fully supported ride with @WesternSpiritCyclingMoab was terrific!
Fresno - Raymond, California // We tried a gorgeous ride in the Sierra foothills!
มุมมอง 969 หลายเดือนก่อน
Most people don't think of central California as a place to ride bikes, but they're wrong! It has plenty of out of the way, under used rides and this is one of them. About 1 hour north east of Fresno is the teeny weeny town of Raymond where the Fresno Cycling Club hosts an annual ride. The event has the funny, smartypants name, Everyone Loves Raymond. We stole this ride from them called The Gro...
Cycling The Bixby Old Coast Route Near Big Sur Is Majestic

The Big Sur area is stunning, especially in the spring. We did this somewhat well-known route, and I was deeply impressed with the spicy climbs and fabulous vistas. Go if you can! And if not, sample it here. 📍The route: bit.ly/3xjCgQD

We got lucky and had a wonderful mid-winter cycling ride on the first day in weeks with sunshine. My video doesn’t do it justice but it’ll give you a flavor of what we saw. We were lucky to meet a couple of friendly birders who pointed out three California condors, a dream of bird spotting for me.

Rome / My Sunday Ride Along The Tiber

I took a hot summer ride on this sweet bike path on the outskirts of Rome. It was a great change from the intensity of the Centro Storico, the historic center of the city. #Rome #cyclingrome #citycyling #cyclinginginrome

I was lucky to have a stunning spring day! This is a ride I've done maybe 50-75 times and it remains both a challenge and a joy. 🚴🏽♂️ My route on Google: goo.gl/maps/snsDGm21od74Li2V7 #sanfrancisco #cyclinglife #bicycle #bayareabiking
Mumbai / Bombay Bicycle Tour Of The Fascinating Madh Island
มุมมอง 702 ปีที่แล้ว
I took a bicycle tour with the excellent organisation No Footprints Explore. We rode around Madh Island, an old fishing community at the northern end of Mumbai. The community seems about to be swallowed by the Maximum City. They're also facing serious problems caused by pollution. Still, it was a wonderful, lively ride. 🚴🏽♂️ Strava: www.strava.com/activities/7719526577 @nofootprints1756 #maxim...

About a dozen of us rode with the terrific tour group No Footprints, exploring some of the touristic highlights of Bombay - Mumbai. It was a bit busy at first but got beautifully tranquil toward the end. Loved it! Thank you to @saviodcunha for the terrific 360 photo. And extra thanks to the wonderful @nofootprints1756

Bicycling and Ferry Boating on the BEAUTIFUL San Francisco Bay // SF - Richmond - Marin - SF

I biked and rode the ferry in a loop around San Francisco Bay. SF's ferry system keeps improving so we now have several ways to explore the waters and roads around here. Wonderful weather and an amazing variety of neighborhoods keeps it exciting. 🚴🏽♂️ Strava Route: strava.app.link/EI1lakfYUqb 🛳 SF Bay Ferry Schedule to Richmond: sanfranciscobayferry.com/richmond-ferry-route My Socials: instagr...
Mountain Biking the Remarkable White Rim Trail in Canyonlands, Utah.
มุมมอง 1.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This was my first time doing a supported camping and biking trip. The folks at Western Spirit did a fantastic job of creating an exiting and memorable adventure. Starting just outside Moab, Utah, the White Rim Trail is a terrific introduction to the thrill of riding in Canyonlands National Park. The guides and co-riders were wonderful, what a fabulous experience that was! SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNE...

Bicycling on Alameda Island in the San Francisco Bay
มุมมอง 1482 ปีที่แล้ว
Alameda Island is just across the bay from San Francisco but I seldom go there. It has two distinct personalities: the former Naval Air Station and a residential area. Also, there's a sweet, short ferry to it. So I decided to give it a try on my bicycle. Ferry bike = excellent! #cyclinglife #sanfrancisco #cyclinginsanfrancisco #coolgreycityoflove
I rode Bizz Johnson in October 2022 and it was magical!
A nice quick introduction to kings canyon national park and the spectacular ride up the canyon next to the Kings River
I lived i SC in 2003, beautiful place, miss it like hell! Cool race and nice video, you to are inspirational! Cheers from Sweden!
Great video! You captured the beauty of that trip and I didn’t see any evidence of wind!
Ha, indeed! I enjoyed this relatively calm ride although the White Rim will always remain a special ride to me.
Such an awesome video. Brought back some really fun memories of my time on that trip. Made miss Chris and all the friends made as well. Thank you for sharing and glad you enjoyed trip also!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and the trip! It's a pretty remarkable part of the world.
Realy captured the magic of Bryce & Zion. Stunning. Makes me want to ride it again.
Okay. Let's do it...or a similar one!
Thanks for sharing David! Good to see you and see your trip! Looks like it was an amazing trip!
Love that loop around Navajo Lake through all the lava!
Love it David! So glad you enjoyed your trip last week. The weather looked great and your cameras really capture the beauty of the two National Parks. Thanks for sharing!
It was a memorable trip and I've come to appreciate the thought and hard work that Western Spirit puts into these trips. Thanks to everyone on your crew especially Anna, Chris and the others whom I've ridden with.
Incredible. Love the stretch through the lava field along the lake. Mother Nature has made extraordinary sculpture in those canyons. Thanks for sharing yet another wonderful bikumentary, David!
We're lucky to live in a country with such magnificent landscapes! Hoodoos, lava beds and massive cliffs help keep you guessing. Bikeumentary - Love it!
What beautiful country with lots of variety.
Yeah, the variety was a surprise to me. The western part of the US is a marvel.
What a great place to ride, especially at this time of year.
It looks similar to the country I used to ride near Mt Diablo at the best time of the year.
Will definitely be back for more, that was a great ride! I have the farmer’s tan as a souvenir.
looks like fun.
Nice!!
Beautifully captured that stellar day of riding along the Big Sur coast.
You did have a beautiful day to ride. I rode it once as a bikepacker from SF to LA, and once on a weekend ride to Lime Kiln State Park and back to Big Sur.
I loved the irreverence of the event! No one seemed to be taking it too seriously although they were good riders.
Very cool - looks like fun!
new camera?
It's the same GoPro Hero 9 that I've had for a couple of years now.
It looked like a beautiful place to ride, scenic and safe. I'm surprised that it's so green.
They don't seem to have water issues. The ancient water faucets around the city flow 24 hrs/day.
Nice to see you can bike in Rome without the crazy traffic of the historic center.
Great video! Just want to know how you got the pan shot of your knees cycling.
I just held the GoPro down and panned. I couldn't see what I was getting, but it's a very wide angle lens so experience tells me that I get something! Also, image stabilization is amazing these days.
love your groovy biking shirt!
It has a Bollywood vibe but it's based on Scilan folk art.
you are an inspiration! but I don't ride a bike...
Hiking on Hawk Hill is also fantastic.
Excellent ride and memories! Thank you.
Great clip! I am riding this for the first time this coming week. I would appreciate any tips or advice 😁
I missed your comment, you must have ridden it by now. Hope you enjoyed it! We had tremendous wind on the first night--or two--but then it got beautiful. Thanks for watching the video.
So glad you're continuing your Bay Area biking videos in India!
Yeah, I like doing them, but monsoon and now a lot of other travel are a distraction. But a welcome one. That said, I hope I can find time for a couple more videos.
Also, would be great if you could add some state: how many miles you rode, how long it took you, whether it was mostly flat or hilly, and maybe even a map of the route. That way people could follow in your tracks :).
Love these videos! Could you put the date you actually did the ride?
Amazing David! It's nice to see a side of the city I'll never be up early enough to appreciate...those sunrise shots are beautiful, seal and all.
Ha! Sometimes it does pay off to wake up early! Thanks and hope you didn't have to watch the video too early in the morning 🙃
I never knew about this trail, it sounds like it was enjoyable. I guess the train tracks were used to move freight years ago?
I think the tracks were for logging. And some of the connecting trails were from mining, too. They're developing old mining trails for biking and hiking all over the "Lost Sierras". Beautiful, in spite of the fire damage.
This loop is beautiful, what a wonderful day and variety of terrain!
Yeah, we're fortunate to live in such a geographically varied place!
Hi, my friend Wow! It's a video that gives me so much fun and healing Have a nice day 👍👍👍
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. Healing is good!
Really incredible job! What a skill you have. From the music to the camera work!! Amazing. We had our whole family watch it.
Thanks! And glad your family watched it. Thrilled to introduce such an amazing place to people!
So glad you enjoyed your White Rim trip David! And this video is really something else! The video quality, music, editing and everything is way more than your average home video. You've got a real talent at storytelling. Thanks for sharing and hope you can ride with us again soon!
Thanks, glad you liked it! And I loved the ride, will certainly do another one with you!
LOVE it! 😍
Glad you do, seems like you know that area well. Thanks!
A beautiful ride in amazing scenery.... wow nice video.
Thanks Rick! That countryside is really awe inspiring. And it wasn't hot--although it was mighty sunny. Great ride!

You had a beautiful day for the ride. I've never been to the Sausalito VOR before, bicycles used to be prohibited from that part of the trail above Old Springs Trail.
Yeah the weather was terrific. As you can see, there’s zero security there so I’m guessing this is an outmoded or redundant navigation technology. The views were sensational.
A whole new experience for me, I haven't been to Alameda since the Naval Air Station was active. (never any Air Force there that I recall). The ferry ride was quite scenic, and you had beautiful weather too.
The ferry rides really are beautiful. I think Eileen might enjoy it on an ebike. It's flat and the northern side--the NAS--is empty. Plus you can ride to Wally's community center!
All of Rathod's bike videos are fun and informative, and as a longtime SF resident I can say he's showing me aspects of the City I never before noticed and appreciated. First rate!
Thanks for watching and coming from someone who's seen the streets of SF from every which way, I really appreciate your comments! Thanks again!
MESMERIZING!
Orthogonal is never a word I heard relating to Architecture, it's used a lot in math/science. Another beautiful day!
Ha! I had never heard that word until he used it. Obviously I don't know my math! Yes, beautiful day...but wish it would rain.
Stunning, meditative view of San Francisco! Loved it!
Thank you. So glad you got to see it!
Beautifully captured! Must have been so peaceful riding through the city at dawn! Keep these coming:)
Brilliant! Is this all shot just by you? I love the long distance scenes where you ride up to and past the camera. You have caught extraordinary footage of San Francisco. Nice smile when you say “halfway to the stars”. More please (and more smiles too😉).
Glad you liked it Rhonda! Yes I did shoot it all myself--edited it too! Will keep making more. Thanks and great to "see" you here!
Love this magical video of San Francisco waking up. Great peak at the city when it’s rarely seen.
a beautiful and peaceful place at dawn
Who would know better about the secret beauty of riding at dawn than you? The city has a very unique mood at dawn
So fun and funny to watch!
Barbara! So nice to kinda-sorta see you here! Thanks for watching it, hope to see you sometime soon.
