- We took our 6, 4, and 1 year old on a 100-mile 3-day BikePacking Adventure from New Paltz, NY through NYC into NJ.
95% of the trails were paved and car-free. We tented two nights wherever we could find shelter. empiretrail.ny...

Thanks for sharing you tips, looked like a really great trip
It really was, thanks!
2:56 he said noooo , but winked lol 😉
Lol
Looks like a fantastic ride! Never knew that tour cycling could be done with young kids, well done!
Thanks yea it’s my goal to one day go across America with the whole fam. Waiting for the youngest to be about 5 before we do it.
Nice! I went on a bikepacking trip a couple weekends ago too!
Oh sweet, where did you go, did you make a video?
Just amazing
Thanks!
Very cool.
Thanks!
Looks like a lot of fun
I would love to do this with my family
Yea would highly recommend it!
Nice trip
That's lovely.
Cool info & adventure. New subscriber. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!
Awesome thank you! and you as well!
@@Famvestor My pleasure! Keep cycling safely!
Thanks for your videos, we are waiting for your next adventures!
Unfortunately just had ACL knee surgery, and Wifey is at 9 months pregnancy so it’s going to be slow for a while. But I have a Utah Grand Circle adventure we did that past summer I still have to edit. And we are going camping in the Florida Keys to do snorkeling in March timeframe. Thanks for watching!
@@Famvestor Ohhh good recovery to you!!
This is really inspiring! I did a similar trip with my three older kids, but I don’t know if we would be up for taking the little ones too. These are going to be incredible memories!
Nice, did you make a video? Yea we have 4 now and are living in Japan for a year thinking to do some cool bikepacking adventures while here.
That towing apparatus is very cool, great adventure
So brave!!!!
This is phenomenal!! My husband (american) and I love cycling, we did our first interstate trip from Vienna to Bratislava, about 70km and slept over in a hotel. It was our first time carrying all our bags on bike. I really enjoyed it and my husband always tells me when we'll have kids we'll just take them with us.. I never thought that would be possible. But your videos are such an encouragement and it looks manageable :)
Awesome!! What trails are you considering?
I ride here frequently. I'm assuming you found out about the camping spots via the website? Great vid!
The website does show campsite, unfortunately on the leg we took near NYC there is only one official campground. But you can always camp along the Appalachian trail.
@@Famvestor thank you 🙏
This looks amazing! Hope I can do something similar with my family. Is this trail a dedicated bike/pedestrian path? Did you have to ride along roads/highways?
Yea do it! that section of the empire trail is almost all dedicated bike paths, maybe 5% of it was roadside.
My family of 4 are new bikepackers and your videos have been great for tips , tricks , and motivation . Keep it up ! #newsubscriber
Thanks we have another bike packing video somewhere. Also kayak camping was fun last summer. Good luck with your trip!
I miss the George Washington Bridge, used to run on the bridge when I was a master student at CUMC! Subscribed the channel since I am going to have the ACL surgery next Friday lol…I’m glad to see your family enjoy the trip!
Lol oh boy best of luck on the surgery!!! It’s not fun, but hopefully your back to running in no time.
YOU ARE ROCK STARS ! I want to do that from Buffalo to Manhattan. Is camping a lot cheaper then cabils/hotels or motels ?
Yea I hope to do that too some-day. Well, camping was free for us since we just camped at the side of the trail, but I imagine it would be even if you paid for a campground, but definitely a lot more weight on the bike.
Im goint from NYC to Albany end of June. Where did you end up sleeping?
Where did the 9-month-old go? I feel like we missed that crucial piece of information. Also, how did the 9-month-old do on the trip?
So that was my brothers kid, so didn’t record too much of him, but you can check out my brothers video here: th-cam.com/video/0sV8UbEsusg/w-d-xo.html
He was on a wee ride front mount though. You should check out my latest bike trip video where we take our 10-month old on a 50mile bike adventure, using a trailer and Thule Yelp Next Mini front mount.
What brand of pop-up crib did you use?
Sorry - found it above
Hi fam.where did u tent
Hi, can u give me a name for bicycle 'hitch' with your kid?
are you talking about the Follow-Me Tandem?
Do u think u can tent on the trail wo gettin in trouble
We didn’t get in trouble… but we did setup the tent really late in the rain and found a pretty secluded spot. Pretty sure your not supposed to though.
I think the only place you would be allowed to technically setup a tent is along the Appalachian trail which bisects the trail in a couple places.
