I have re-edited a couple of trips on the US Pacific Coast into one, in order to remove copyright music and possible future bans. Still hating my voice but after a few requests I have added a little commentary and a route schedule that gives some idea of where I was at any given point along the journey. I say it in the video but to me after quite a few tours, that route remains probably my favourite, and one that I would never get tired to ride. Sorry for rehashing old footage but who doesn't need a bit of virtual travel in these times?
I always enjoy your videos. Beautifully made. Thank you.
Beautifully shot, narrated and edited.
Thanks for sharing.. Now I understand why I see your older bike. Coming from you, if this is your favorite route, it means a “ must do” then. (Jotted down..)
@@fernandomorua4215 It is always subjective some people like more the culture and historic side, others want remote locations, probably most of us I suppose enjoy the best nature has to offer. This last part is definitely in this trip and to me it is definitely not to miss if you get a chance. Just avoid summers as I am sure that road gets really busy with tourists and camper vans and probably not as enjoyable. I took always trip around end September to mid October, a little fresher at times but much quieter.
Thanks a lot!
10:47 Gianni in Fort Bragg: _"I come from Portland Oregon"_
Old Man: _"Jesus Christ, all the way up there? Goddamn."_
Right! He was a funny old man...
I love how you travel well with the simple necessities and enjoy the photos of so many “fully loaded” tourers!
Thanks!
I did the Pacific Coast from Vancouver to the Mexican border in Sep/Oct 2014 - a wonderful experience. Especially at the state campsites in California, it seemed you always went to sleep to the sound of waves crashing on the shore. My album of the trip was a little like yours in terms of sound - 'This Empty Northern Hemisphere' (Gregory Alan Isakov) - very atmospheric music in the tent at night.
The other song that came to mind often was 'Boomer's Story' by Ry Cooder:
Take a tip from one who's travelled
And never stopped a-ramblin' 'round
'Cause once you get the roamin' fever
You never want to settle down, boy
You never want to settle down.
But when the trip was over, the song that summed it up best was 'Do It Again' by Royksopp & Robyn.
Don't care what they say, it hurts so good.
I don't wanna stop, I know I should.
I don't think they were talking about multi-day bike trips, but I choose to hear it that way. :-)

Thanks for sharing! Great songs and I hope one day to be able to return and do the complete route as you did from Canada to Mexico. Tempting as it is I better not use commercial songs in these videos as they tend to be banned at short notice...
very beautiful ++1 bicycle best way to travel and see the world....
Couldn't agree more. Thanks!
A wonderful escape to sanity. Love the music too. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you too!
We love your voice! ... and your videos! You've rekindled dreams in more folks than you will ever know. Your videos are a blessing for us all.
Many, many, thanks! .. as you see by my icon, I live in North Bay, CA. .. wonderful roads for two wheels.
Thank you! 😊 Will keep the voice going...in moderation then. You are lucky. Wonderful place to live and ride a bike.
Mi dispiace non poter capire i commenti del tuo viaggio ma le musiche e i panorami che vedo e sento mi compensano per non poter capire le tue parole ...sei GRANDE ..mi tieni tanta compagnia perché me li rivedo . E..viaggio con te ..bacio grosso
Grazie Zia! Di questi tempi si può solo viaggiare così :) Un abbraccio.
Zia, scusa se mando gli auguri da qui e in ritardo! I miei migliori auguri a tutti voi. Un abbraccio!
@@BromptonTraveler grazie caro altrettanto
Wow! You really are riding those tiny wheels around the world! Awesome! Good luck!
Thanks!
This is a great video, by the way I finally picked up a brand new 2021 Brompton M6R , it took me a while but I finally got one, thank you 🙏 for showing me how strong and durable a Brompton is , keep up the good work 👍👍
Very nice! Enjoy the rides.
OMG so beautiful. I’m here listening to the rain outside and I just want to get on my bike. Wonderful film, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Alan! To inspire to get out on the bike is the best hope I have for these videos. Let's hope we are free to ride wherever we can soon...
Great to revisit your journeys.
Many thanks Peter! I believe I still have 2 videos ( Canada and Utah ) that will need redoing when I get down to it...
Always a pleasure to watch your videos!!
Thanks again Hector, most appreciated.
Oh this is a gorgeous film Gianni! I love it xxx
Thanks Susanna, hope all is well. Have you been to that part of the world? If not and you get a chance, do! Oregon and northern California especially. Best on a bike...
Wow Gianni, thanks for sharing with us your incredible and inspiring journeys.
My pleasure!! Thanks for watching.
Another beautiful and relaxing video. Thank you.
Thanks!
Nice video I’m glad you like to ride here 👏
I do! Thanks
Bellissimo video. Guardando la natura nel suo splendore ti si riempie l'anima. Ma ti è mai capitato di dovere incontrare animali selvaggi in foreste come queste, tipo orsi o felini ?
Fortunatamente no Salvatore! Certo in questi posti può succedere e in molti dei campeggi ci sono grossi segnali che avvisano e informano di come prendere le cautele necessarie. Per il resto ci sono i tappi nelle orecchie e una radio a massimo volume fin che si fà notte...
Well done... All the best to you!
Thanks Em! Hope all is well.
Beautiful video and so relaxing to watch
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks a lot!
Traveling at the speed of bike....the best
As we know... ;)
Your voice is great! and your editing skills excellent. Change nothing; and thank you.
Not convinced about the voice, but I am not trying to win a singing contest and your encouragement is most appreciated. Thanks!
Again, incredible and awe inspiring!
Thanks a lot!
Hi Gianni,always look forward to your films,especially this one.I did Highway 1 in 2016,it was the greatest experience of my life From San Francisco to LA alone in a camper pick up,there were forest fires but didn’t close the road thank goodness.Is this from your archive or this year?
The giant redwoods are amazing to touch very soft and husky right?,I went to Sequoia NP and would highly recommend it ,the generals highway is a winding climb to the largest tree the general Sherman,unforgettable.
Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks as lot David, in the process of re-editing some of the older ones due to music copyright. This particular video is actually 2 trips I took few years back, combined into one as I thought it made sense to have a video about the Pacific Coast Highway, at least a good part of it. First was from Portland to SF and another one was from Medford (Border between Oregon and California ) down to San Luis Obispo. It's a wonderful part of the world, one of my favourites. When friends ask me what is the nicest thing/place I have seen in my travels, usually those trees come to mind first... Pitching a tent surrounded by them like in Jedediah Smith S.P and other few places it's memorable. I have been to Yosemite ages ago on a mountain bike and did see some large sequoias in Mariposa but I haven't quite made it to Sequoia NP so I will keep that in mind!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Just wonderful!
Many thanks Suz!
Amazing trips and videos! Thank you for sharing! Really inspirational! May I know what kind of recording device are you using?
Thanks! I use a GoPro 7 and iPhone for all my videos. Thanks!
@@BromptonTraveler Thank you!
Hi. Thank you for your great videos i really enjoy watching them! How many days did it take you to cycle from Portland to SF?
I can’t recall exactly. Around 17 or so and from memory covered around 1300k
I wish I didn’t feel so scared to camp here in the United States. I’m from LA and this is one of my dreams, to ride the PCH by bike
Well, the old saying goes ‘don’t let the fear stop you.’ With all those wonderful campsites along the PCH I felt safe most times. Hope you follow that dream one day! Being from LA you are also a phone call away to get out of trouble ;)
Beautiful vid! I just got a Brompton and hope to one day be so adventurous! btw who is the artist singing the song a few minutes in the video?
Wishing you wonderful rides on your Brompton! Sorry but it has been a while since editing this and I don’t recall the artist…
10:52 😂😂😂

Seria muy bueno que actives los subtítulos en español.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires
Gracie Matias. los subtítulos en español no son automáticos y necesitan un guión que lo dificulte. (Via Google translate!)
@@BromptonTraveler mmmm, n no entendí 😅, voy a tratar de ver si de mi parte puedo solucionarlo.
Me encanta tu canal y espero algún día puedas venir a Argentina, esta lleno de impresionantes rutas, la ruta 40 es sin dudas la mejor.
Saludos...
@@SaitamJ TH-cam se escriba los subtitulos automáticamente pero solamente en ingles. Gianni necessita un experto para escribir sutitulos en espanol. Creo que el deberia pedirte ayuda. jaja Saludos
@@BromptonTraveler Gianni mi compa, Necesitas hablar un poco de espanol para viajar a Mexico.
@@dhobonov no sabia que era tan complicado, creia que era solo tildar una opción...
Hi Gianni, thank you for your inspiring videos. After all your travels, what is your recommendation regarding the use (or not) of helmets? Many thanks! :)
It's a personal choice you make. The recommendation is for all to use helmets as much as possible. I have no doubt that in a bad fall they can be of great help and in extreme cases, save lives. I have had some discussions in here with people feeling I should give a good example and wear one...The reason I don't while touring, is that I find it uncomfortable to wear for long hours each day and I rather have a soft hat which can better protect from sun, and keep you warm when cold; bottom line is that I am willing to take the risks involved. A good option if space to carry it is not an issue is carrying one anyway, using it on those section where you are more at risk whether it is fast descents or riding in heavy traffic and so on... Cheers
@@BromptonTraveler Helmet saved my life in a serious crash I had - on flat pavement going around a curve and not that fast. I never saw it coming.
When going into establishments like a restaurants, do you fold your bike and take everything with you or do you leave it outside?
That is the safest way but as much as possible what I rather do is find a restaurant where I can seat and monitor the locked bike outside.
Wonderful video! Only the music is a bit too loud for me. I think about a brompton or a Birdy, not yet sure.
Thanks Robert! Both very good bikes but I can only recommend the one I have! Cheers
Can you list the musicians? The music is great.
Mark I use Epidemic sound for my music but having edited that a while back I wouldn't be able to remember what I used... Thanks.
Thanks , your video inspired to ride my 3 speed commuter bike from SF to SLO last month. It was great ride. Also I saw your video of new bike, was there a reason to change?
@@markt6031 Great to hear, that is one of my favourite rides, I hope to get back to Highway 1 one day... I only changed it as I had used it on rough roads and had a crash with it and after 7 years I thought I might as well get a new one but it was still going strong I must say!
would you mind if I ask? where do you get your music? they're awesome!
It's all www.epidemicsound.com It's a well known copyright free service for content creators online. You won't find any music that has made it to the top charts but I they have a good selection and some really nice surprises. Pricing is also pretty good. Cheers
@@BromptonTraveler tnx so much more power to ur channel
Fantastic mate 👍 another beautiful Video 👍 what do you use to create the timeline ?
Thanks Craig. I currently use Pixelmator Pro on my iMac for picture editing and most graphics. The timeline is a template with the stop names that I edit and is saved as .PNG and added as a transparent layer in the movie at the right points. Movie editing I usually do in iMovie if on iMac or Lumafusion when I do the editing on iPad. I admit having given Apple quite a lot of my savings over the years... :)
@@BromptonTraveler thanks Gianni, that helps a lot 👍 keep the videos coming as they are incredibly inspiring, do you have videos of your cooking setup when wild camping ?
You'll be very disappointed to hear that I don't carry cooking stuff... I love cooking but on a Brompton I try to keep things simple and up to a month I can survive on cold sandwiches, fruit, nuts, snacks with a proper warm meal during the day. If I was going for longer than a month and on a different bike it would be different as I wouldn't have to limit weight as much and cooking does save quite a bit of money too.
@@BromptonTraveler thanks Gianni, I actually agree with that as I have often taken cooking gear and never used it as I bought fruit etc on the way 👍 stay safe and keep pedalling
