  • This is a program about an unsupported bike touring trip I took from Bozeman, Montana to San Francisco, California in the fall of 2012. The bike touring trip was seven weeks long and covered about 1800 miles in total.
    The content:
    This part 2 program about the trip is really a sequential series of clips that help to capture the essence of this bike touring journey.
    The route:
    From Florence, Oregon, my bike touring route started south through Reedsport, Coos Bay, Bandon, Port Orford, Gold Beach, Brookings, and over the California border.
    The sequel:
    The upcoming movie Part 3 will cover the bike touring journey south along the coast to San Francisco.

    It is strange but from time to time I just come back here to watch this film again and again. Great video, great story :)

    Thanks for sharing, I bicycled this coast and beyond in the mid 80s and its my favorite place to ride. Spectacular views and good people, tough at times but worth every moment.

    Beautifully done. This is on my list of things to do. As I get older I guess I feel a little more intimidated, but it will get done, so thanks for sharing your journey. Inspiring!

    Thanks for sharing. Road across the US in 2003. Start of my trip was down the Oregon coast. Still think about it all the time.

    I went from Seattle to San Francisco this last summer and I saw that descent into Humbug on your video. That was probably the best view of the whole trip!

    Reminds me of my `82 trip, part of which was L.A. to Newport OR. The coast is BEAUTIFUL . I also think of it often and wish I could have stayed out longer.:-)

    Nice video. I biked the Oregon coast twice, and its wonderful. The only thing I would say is make sure you have a tent or similar shelter, and set it up no matter what, every night. Even when the weather looks perfect, that fog bank will roll in at night, and you will be soggy in the morning.

    I thought this video was very inspiring and i love the way you met up with all these different people all with their own different stories and on their own little adventures.
    awesome vid, great people and beautiful coast line!! :)

    that hill out of mitchell was brutal....9 miles of up in the heat of the day. Biking has taught me to embrace the pain..almost a zen like mental state. Im gratefull to have learned that lesson, carries over to many aspects of my life. Hope to post the sf part of the trip in a couple weeks. will be leaving again to bike SE oregon in sept.

    That was great. Great quality of images, very classy shots! I also like how many folks you met along the way. The visual example for the reason to cycle north to south down the coast was perfect. Thanks and I hope to see ya on the road ;

      Is there a part 3? I looked around but didn't see one. Cheers

    • @PeterQBrownDesign
      @PeterQBrownDesign  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes, both part 1 and 3. go to peterqbrown designs and look. let me know if you can't find it because they don't have many views and i am not sure why they are not found. i would like to make them a group, but don't have a full grasp of how youtube works that way. any advise here much appreciated

    • @freddixon

      First, find the first video you want on the Playlist that you will be creating. Copy the URL (Ctrl + C)(www.youtube….) you will need that later.
      Go to your TH-cam Channel.
      To the right of the TH-cam Logo is a Drop down Menu. Hover over that and then scroll down to PLAYLIST. Select
      At the top click +New playlist. Write in the name of your new playlist in the box that opens.
      Select, Create.
      Add Video. This is where you Paste (Ctrl + P) that URL to your video.
      Select (Blue Box).
      Now, go back to your Channel and scroll down to the bottom and click on Add Section.
      Select, Single Playlist. Then Find Playlist. Scroll down to the Playlist you just created and select it.
      And click on Done.
      Kinda weird but it works for me. I created a new playlist (Walk With Fred, Colorado) as I described how to do it to you. Cheers. Let me know if it doesn't work. FRED

    Nice piece and interesting ride. I enjoyed your casual interview soundbites with other cyclists you met along the way. I know that journey of northern OR by car from many years ago, maybe one day doing as you did by bike.

    @19Photographer76 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great editing Peter, did you take some still photos? Living in Eugene, OR its common to have friends that do bike touring like Bike America or Bike Oregon. What I was thinking while watching your video was how many individual riders pass through an Oregon coastal town in a given summer.
    Have you set-up a blog to give advice for future novice riders?

    I want to ride to Ca from PDX really badly. Would like to know the best way, in terms of avoiding too much traffic as well. hate the idea of cars zooming right next to me. But can handle a bit of that. How was riding on a suspension fork? Seems like it might remove some momentum. As that an older steel frame MTB? Looks like nice trip full of memories. Envious!

    I took the bridge over to Astoria via bicycle. Equally as sketchy.

    • @PeterQBrownDesign
      @PeterQBrownDesign  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I heard the Astoria bridge was much much worse

    • @IraJcoops
      @IraJcoops 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      It just never ended. It's called the Megler Bridge. To me, it will ever be known as The Mangler Bridge.

  • @hhfhtoolboxgffff

    how much was on trails, how much was on roads? some of it looks really sketchy riding with those trucks.

    • @PeterQBrownDesign
      @PeterQBrownDesign  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      All on roads. You get used to it, but a helmet mirror is essential!!

  • @MrCROBosanceros

    So... at 9:25 the one guy said, "that everyone on the tour was unemployed, and seeing it as a plus."
    Unless a person is retired, how in the world does a person go on a long tour, and pay for ALL THE EXPENSES while they have no money coming in?
    Do they not have ANY BILLS back home?
    Do they even have a home or an apartment?
    Food isn't cheap and while on a tour, you need A LOT of it.
    Hiker/biker camps are inexpensive but not free.
    I just don't understand how people can spend a month or more without incoming money.
