Been exploring this island for the last 5 years, its a pleasure to watch it from your perspective. Great trip, and great work, you encourage me to do a bit more of bikepacking there.
The "Magna Via Francigena" is a 9-day christian pilgrimage hike from Palermo to Agrigento. I slow rode it in 2019. Second stop was Corleone. Ate at your pizza place :) Prizzi, on the mountain, not to be missed. Agrigento incredible temples. Also, you may want to go check out the Trans-Sardinia also. I rode it south to north, from Cagliari to Olbia. More mountainous, remote than Sicily. Cheers.
Fabulous! I spent a month in Catania, and one in Siracusa, and one in Palermo, but it never felt safe to cycle from city center to the quiet country lanes, so I didn't. This makes me want to try it again, with a bit more courage.
😍😍😍 we were there in autumn 22 and wanted to do the sicily devide. unfortunately i had to stop after the second day due to a slipped disc. the food and the people are great... we will certainly try it again
I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this for us! And I hope you are doing well! Working hard makes you stronger! That's what you are! And Never give up! Keep going because you are great! And you got my full support!
Enticing video Josh and good camera work. How many kms did you cover and how on earth did you guys seem to have the roads to yourselves? Anyway, I enjoyed that you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
I was carrying a bag on my back with all the camera gear and we were also staying in hotels. I have plenty of experience in roughing it so nice to do a trip with a bit more luxury.

It really is!

Ace. Will take a look at those for a return trip one day.
Sicily was settled by a huge number of the top artisans from Italy. That's why everything things looks so zen.😮😮
Superb video. That has put Sicily on my want to bikepack list!
Please do!
Wow. I spent most of my childhood-summers in the area you were cycling through. Seems I should rediscover it again by bike.
Thx for sharing.
You should!
Well that was an absolute feast for the eyes to watch Josh. Pieced together beautifully.
Yes Helen, cold pizza for breakfast is always a great idea!!!Especially when it’s an authentic pie like that one 😃
So true!

Sweet ride! 🥰
Superb video. That has put Siy
À very very inspiring video trip. Thanks for this sharing moments
going in november in the south of sicily. mind sharing your route?
yo josh , do you have a public track route for this bike trip ?
Sicilia luogo incantato .. Greci..Turchi., Spagnoli hanno lasciato una Energia ed una signorilità unica AMUNINNI FOOZZA!!
Bele video, complimenti
Enticing video Josh and good camera work. How many kms did you cover and how on earth did you
guys seem to have the roads to yourselves? Anyway, I enjoyed that you guys enjoyed it. Thanks
for sharing.
The trip was just under 500km. Not much traffic on the broken roads of Sicily. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi, which tire width did you use for this trip? Is 40mm enough? BR Andreas
I used 45mm a Hutchinson Tundra on the front and a Touareg on the back
@ josh Do you have the route saved on Komoot that we could copy? I am planning to do the trip with my partner in early 2025. Thanks a lot!
You've been on my side. Too bad I didn't know this sooner
Thanks for sharing
Very Nice 👍
Nice, nice, nice. Very nice.
Living my dream
As though you drive around in a van, pop your bikes out and film. The Days van-bike rides end at hotels planning tomorrow.
Wonderful movie 🤙😊
Can you post your route please?
Could you share the route ?
I was in Italy last August pisa and Florence
Would be a dream ❤ who is Helen to you ?
but that's just a tiny slice of the island. And you didn't manage to go over the common places.
Trap A Nee ?
Great video, great views, but... I haven't seen any bike PACKING, to be honest. So.. emmm... rename it, maybe?
Where’s all your gear? You have a couple of very small bags, but not sufficient to be bike packing? What’s going on?
I was carrying a bag on my back with all the camera gear and we were also staying in hotels. I have plenty of experience in roughing it so nice to do a trip with a bit more luxury.
Enjoyed the video but I don't think Sicily is a country.
He he he
Say that to a Sicilian......😊
Aaaaahhh, that video sucks. It just put another place on my list. Nevertheless thx 🙏 😂
