Ryan, I've seen the news about the floods in Rwanda! Are your hosts and helpers from your journey okay? Perhaps you could set up a little donation page to help those impacted by the flooding there. ❤🩹
As an expat in Rwanda (Ryan shows up in my village about 28:30) I will testify that all the good things he has to say about Rwanda are true. The safest, cleanest, friendliest, most beautiful of East African countries (and I've been in a few).
I live in southwestern Pennsylvania. There are many hillsides here that trash was dumped down the side of. I am jealous of the responsibility that Rwandans have toward keeping their country clean.
Speaking as a non-mountain biker, those downhill scenes are amazing! My favorite is when Cali (sp?) is saying "No Crashies! No Whammies!" over and over. And, of course, the kids are so funny. A white guy on a bike is a big deal in their little villages. 🙂 Ryan, the video is awesome. Thanks for a great series. Lovin' it!
Was looking forward to this! Thanks again for coming out to Mill Valley and sharing your travel experiences, positive mindset on life, and wisdom! It was great meeting you last night! -Luke, Frances, and Naomi
I really enjoy watching all of yours videos Ryan. But this series about Rwanda is very special. At least for me. By watching this it’s like the whole world around me disappear and I’m back in Rwanda. Makes me smile. Thank you Ryan. Jaroslav 🙂🇨🇿
My full suspension bike is my least favorite but I would love nothing more than to get on it and ride in that rain forest. What an incredible adventure.

This is such an incredible adventure to live thru you and your eyes, Beans! Calli's attitude and vibe is 2nd to none, he's such a kind and funny soul! Another wonderful episode.
Hi Ryan what a beautiful looking country. If I were 20 years younger and fitter, I'd be there with you. Thank you fora wonderful series of videos showing us the world through your eyes.
Such a beautiful country & its people! Thanx Ryan for a fantastic video,Calli is a beautiful soul,It would be awesome if he can come to Boulder for a visit! Thursday cruiser ride would really be fun for him I bet!!
wow thats a super ride .its so beautiful and clean .we should learn from them how respect the place where we live.and am suprise how many of them speak english ,always things its more kinyarwanda and a french place
I havenever smiled so muchbefore while watching a series! I loved every series of yours! Mira’s Baja great divide but I have never smiled so much while watching a video. Period! ❤
Oh such a rich experience for you!😊 You were really lucky to have been invited there. Thank you for bringing us the best of your trip to Rwanda. I hope you get more opportunities like that.
Awesome!! Really enjoying these videos! It’s like we’re there riding with you guys! Your guide one awesome dude! Here’s a idea. How about getting him over here to Colorado to enjoy our country! 🤔 Talk about some super videos you would get on his reactions to this country! Also scenery hes probably never seen before! Keep these killer videos coming. Stay safe and eat plenty Frijoles!!!
Fantastic adventure. Such beautiful scenery. Love how all the kids are so excited to see you. I saw one kid in a Montreal Canadien jersey and one in a Toronto Maple Leaf jersey ...go figure...in Rwanda?😊
Hey Ryan great series! You so need to check ou the North West US and ride throw the cold rain foreat. 🤟🏼🚴♀️ And more people should be a happy in the rain like those kiddos were!
What another great series, Ryan! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your videos are so inspiring and always after whatching I just wanna ride my bike.
So fun to watch! It's gorgeous there! I'm jealous because I went to a music festival last weekend and got sick 🤒 I haven't been able to ride my bike. Ironically I was sipping some hot tea while watching this lol. Can't wait for the next video!
This is an amazing adventure Ryan !! I must say that all I knew about Rwanda before this series was all the horrible stuff that the press says has gone on there. These people look happy and healthy, living their best life. I might even consider a trip there after watching this. Thanks
Fabulous short rendition completely on key of TOTO's God bless the rains in Africa, so good I had to put your video on hold and quickly journey back to my very early 20's and the songs release date of 10/1982 to view and listen to the TOTO's original video 👍 thank you. Hmmm, "it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you" would be a fitting next or last title to your final Africa adventures video series, or maybe "there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do". ✌
Imagine being back at home and kids are running behind you carrying machetes🤔🤣Its totally mind blowing seeing those bikes loaded so high and climbing and descending those massive hills, going up would be the hardest but going down by far the scariest! What an incredible place and you are capturing it so well Ryan👌I had a nice 70 mile ride yesterday and got rear ended by an old lady in a car😂thankfully no damage was done and she was very apologetic😉
Thank you for another wonderful adventure! Every time I watch any of your rides, runs, or just talking, I always think of the George Bernard Shaw poem/quote " A Splendid Torch" ( google if you have not read it) THANK YOU again for the ride!!
Hi Ryan I am watching this latest video in my vacatiion in Bahrein- a different world here..cars over cars and bike Riding is absolutly not popular they told me for different reasons . But anyway- soon i will back in europe home and then i will riding my bike for spring tours again.
Was the fella who fell off the side of the path at 27:42 OK? I went back and paused it and it looked like he probably was but it was a bit scary looking misstep!
It's easy to understand why the kids all find you fascinating and I'm sure they are out there waiting on you long before they ever see you. Small villages like that will send word ahead letting everyone know a white guy is coming through with a black guy on bikes. In these first three Rwandan episodes I don't think I've seen one other white person so it really is a treat for the kids to see you come through. Some may have never seen a white person before.
Amazing and so different. Up-Down-and green. It must also be an extremely nice experience with the locals. Side question- what arm sleeves do you wear that protect from the sun in such hot and humid environment?
The government mandated trash pickup days in Rawanda which locals are forced to participated in have something to do with the trash free environment too. You can search for stories. It's good and bad imo. Rawanda seems a little like Singapore (maybe even modeled after singapore) - the happiest police state in Africa. People acquiesce in attempt to improve life and harmony with each other, but sacrifice personal freedoms in that pursuit.
20:00 they do biodegrade, regardless of the land but it can take up to 2 years for bananas to biodegrade on themselves. In compost, it's approx 6 months.
Interesting to see all the Eucalyptus trees everywhere (they are only native to Australia by the way). Are they a plantation tree in Rwanda? Or have people just planted them everywhere as specimen trees?
Yes it is a beautiful landscape. But there is something missing, the crowds of people seen, this country cannot be all children with so few adults approaching the camera. Did you see many snakes while there? Were you given restriction by your sponsors on subjects and dangers not to be mentioned?
I didn’t see any snakes, too bad, because I love them. And the tourist board had no control over my content. They wanted me to make them as I make any video. There were plenty of adults around, they’re just more reserved than the kids
This is the fifth time I have asked this and the forth time I have not received an answer. It is quite simple. No flatties...easy to understand. No Crashes...yep I get it. But what the F is no whammies? I have been very patient and a loyal follower, it would be nice to have an answer.
Sorry to keep you hanging, not sure how I missed 4 other comments…anyway. A whammy is anything unexpected and bad. Use your imagination….a rockslide…a swarm of murder hornets…getting struck by lightning…having your bike stuck in customs 😂
I like you, Ryan, but I've noticed the lack of real conversations. Just saying it's awesome in one way or the other all the time doesn't cut it for me in such long videos.
@@duzer I'm sorry, I am not sure what I wanted, probably expecting way too much from a travel video. I want to say I love your videos and you as a person. Sorry for being... that way.

When it’s cold and snowy in Boulder, the memories of this day will keep me warm. Such an incredible day on the bike!
answer my question that I have asked several times in the last 18 months!!!!
Ryan, I've seen the news about the floods in Rwanda! Are your hosts and helpers from your journey okay? Perhaps you could set up a little donation page to help those impacted by the flooding there. ❤🩹
I thought I knew the color green, but now that I have seen Rwandan green I stand corrected.
Not many people would know that
As an expat in Rwanda (Ryan shows up in my village about 28:30) I will testify that all the good things he has to say about Rwanda are true. The safest, cleanest, friendliest, most beautiful of East African countries (and I've been in a few).
So cool that I went through your village!! You live in Paradise!!
Kenya, Uganda and Zaire in in 1990. I know the area
But History shows otherwise. However Tanzania has a wonderful history... that they earned, you have a long way to go.
I live in southwestern Pennsylvania. There are many hillsides here that trash was dumped down the side of. I am jealous of the responsibility that Rwandans have toward keeping their country clean.
It’s really inspiring
Speaking as a non-mountain biker, those downhill scenes are amazing! My favorite is when Cali (sp?) is saying "No Crashies! No Whammies!" over and over. And, of course, the kids are so funny. A white guy on a bike is a big deal in their little villages. 🙂 Ryan, the video is awesome. Thanks for a great series. Lovin' it!
This was such a fun place to fly!!! And the kids are awesome
I just get a giant smile on my face every video where he has a group of children running in a pack with him. Looks like such a happy place
The kids were the best part!
This is such a fantastic series! What an amazing adventure.
Thank you!! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying it
My face is numb from constantly smiling throughout the entire video! It was amazing!
My face is still numb and I’ve been home 2 weeks 😂
My goodness, what a gorgeous country. Thanks for sharing the Tea fields--teatime is the joy of a long life!
Was looking forward to this!
Thanks again for coming out to Mill Valley and sharing your travel experiences, positive mindset on life, and wisdom! It was great meeting you last night! -Luke, Frances, and Naomi
I LOVED meeting you all last night!! Thanks for coming out.

I agree! There’s something magical about Rwanda
30:07 Going to bed: _“Muramuke”_ [Wake up well!]
Out of bed: _“Mwaramutse”_ [Did you wake up well?]
That was a beautiful adventure!
Loved the thoughtful editing choice to allow the rainforest sounds to take center stage during that section of the video…quite immersive! 👌
Love to see that concern for the environment extends to these Rawandans and they have the pride to keep their country clean and trash free.
My full suspension bike is my least favorite but I would love nothing more than to get on it and ride in that rain forest. What an incredible adventure.
You could fly on that thing
posted this on my wall. Thank you very much Ryan.
I've been watching Ryan Van Duzer on his bike adventures since days with covid-19 as most of us staying at home. And I love how he advocates bicycles and his solo adventures on bike packing mostly in America.
Yesterday, I watch his adventure in Rwanda. He was invited by Rwanda - a small country in Africa - a poor country compared to the Philippines, to encourage more Rwandan people to use bikes and highlight the country on Ryan's channel on youtube.
In 2008, Rwanda banned the use of plastic bags to protect the environment. You cant enter the country in plastic bags with you. At the airport hand luggage before disembarking and any plastic bags (including plastic duty-free shopping bags and the transparent plastic bags that some airlines require passengers to use for keeping liquids, cosmetics, etc) should be left on the plane.
With that, I am already amazed by this country and to think they are poor and maybe corruption is eating their resources, I am kind of surprised seeing the video of Ryan on his whole 280 kilometers of bike journey with his guide on the Congo Nile Trail which the route will pass on Lake Kivu passing different communities and markets.
If you have time to watch, please watch his 3 parts video on this journey and comment here if you noticed trash (like what we usually see in our country) especially plastics along this whole journey.

Cali is a special guy! So glad that we got matched up for this

I’m so glad that you enjoyed this series, it was a life highlight for sure
Ryan you bring a smile to my soul.
The hardwork these people do is incredible! The country is BEAUTIFUL!! You are soo lucky Ryan what an awesome adventure! :) :)

Rwanda, you are a jewel of the world!
Really enjoying this series, and it makes me want to visit Rwanda.
If you get the chance, I guarantee you’ll love it
I want to go somewhere like this to ride on day. Thanks for sharing
wow thats a super ride .its so beautiful and clean .we should learn from them how respect the place where we live.and am suprise how many of them speak english ,always things its more kinyarwanda and a french place
I've have ridden a lot of places but nothing close to somewhere like this.
Thanks for another dose/reminder of how beautiful a topical country is. Travel by bike slow down a lot and let you see everything.
Slow travel is the best
I havenever smiled so muchbefore while watching a series! I loved every series of yours! Mira’s Baja great divide but I have never smiled so much while watching a video. Period! ❤
I felt the same way while there!! It’s a smile inducing country
You made me wanna go there and explore these beautiful places!
I’m loving this adventure Ryan! So many smiles! And especially the Childrens laughter! It’s making me happy! Keep peddling Duzer!
The kids are the best part!
Oh such a rich experience for you!😊 You were really lucky to have been invited there. Thank you for bringing us the best of your trip to Rwanda. I hope you get more opportunities like that.
It was such a special trip!
What an incredible video! Made even more special, when a little boy is wearing a Montreal Canadians hockey jersey from my city! ❤
Big hockey fans over in Rwanda :)
What a beautiful country and so much tea. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Wow, what amazing shots at the end! What a trail, what a ride!
Riding through the rain was so fun
Awesome!! Really enjoying these videos! It’s like we’re there riding with you guys! Your guide one awesome dude! Here’s a idea.

Wow. What a wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing this with us. Blessings.
And thank you for always watching my videos
Great episode...but someone please send that young man a Leafs jersey! 😅
😅😅😅😅 I thought the same when you were riding in the rain. That old song: "I guess it rains down in Africa..."😁🌧️
😂😂😂
Wow what an awesome adventure and your guide is great too.
Wow amazing Rwanda!
Nature and love are the solution !❤
I agree!
It's very exciting and wonderful bike trail you have been done in Congo.
Fantastic adventure. Such beautiful scenery. Love how all the kids are so excited to see you. I saw one kid in a Montreal Canadien jersey and one in a Toronto Maple Leaf jersey ...go figure...in Rwanda?😊
😄👍
An awesome cycling trip in Rwanda!
Watching a few days behind on this series, but I am now up to day. Loving it !
Hey Ryan great series! You so need to check ou the North West US and ride throw the cold rain foreat. 🤟🏼🚴♀️ And more people should be a happy in the rain like those kiddos were!
Awesome ride
Chocolate milk water 🤣 I love it!!
Ryan, you have found the secret to life. 👍
What another great series, Ryan! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your videos are so inspiring and always after whatching I just wanna ride my bike.
Thanks!! Rwanda lit up my soul

Great video and was a fun stream in SF. Be well and olé
3:28 Beautiful!

Oh no, glad to hear that you didn’t get hurt
Awesome as always duzer
Awesome video Ryan, I'm going to speak for all Canadian's and say we luv Duzer..🚴👍🍁
Awwww, thank you! I love Canadiens
I am just so blown away... WOOOW 💯😍👍🙋♂
oh my god this is so epic
I think I just saw a dinosaur bone sticking out of the road as you begin riding @ 1:53
amzhinnnggg....very good
Thank you!
12:20 even in Rwanda they have cool mountain biking trails in the 'hydro cut' :+)
Thank you for another wonderful adventure! Every time I watch any of your rides, runs, or just talking, I always think of the George Bernard Shaw poem/quote " A Splendid Torch" ( google if you have not read it) THANK YOU again for the ride!!
Oooh! I’ll check that out. Thanks!!
Hi Ryan
I am watching this latest video in my vacatiion in Bahrein- a different world here..cars over cars and bike
Riding is absolutly not popular they told me for different reasons .
But anyway- soon i will back in europe home and then i will riding my bike for spring tours again.
Those countries in the Middle East are definitely not cyclist friendly. Good thing you live in Europe!!
beautiful people! I hope they never build a walmart there.
Ha!! Im with ya on that
Awesome video!! Rock on, or should I say roll-on!! 🚴👍
So much rockin and rollin!
Sunday comes
Now just like on RVD channel!😀
Go Ryan Go! Stay awesome! First!
Was the fella who fell off the side of the path at 27:42 OK? I went back and paused it and it looked like he probably was but it was a bit scary looking misstep!
It looks like he fell, but he was just ducking down
Wish you all the best my friend 😊
Thank you!
Your new afghan friend in Washington state 😊
Single track is very scary to me, you must be very brave.
Dear Ryan, How much if you pay a Bicycle Guide on a ride like this but slower? Thank you!
Only way this could be better is to see your 600x but awesome thank you!!!
What a great adventure! When you are getting a video, are you ridding one handed? A couple of those spots looked a little 🤪
Yep! One handed …it works out most of the time :)
The drone shots would’ve been epic. Aviation Regulations are in place for a reason I get it. 😩😩😩

What about to make you sell DVD For all the training gyms
I think those kids should do good at the caballo Blanco race. They like to run.
Haha!! I agree
I don't know Ryan those kids running with you with Machete's in hand ... were you playing banjo get away music or something?
New colour on your camera Ryan...
Looks beautiful, is this first time you had guide? Do you need a guide there?
10:50 they have weapons in hands , big knives / manchette
Exactly
Hi Ryan, where is your bike?
Were you worried about contracting malaria while on the ride?
Hey Ryan have you heard of Green Hills Bike Park in Germany?
I haven’t
Would you recommend a guide for the tour?
You really don’t need one, it’s very well marked.
no dogs...
Have you met bicyclists that you can't put a smile on their face?
Yes it is a beautiful landscape. But there is something missing, the crowds of people seen, this country cannot be all children with so few adults approaching the camera.
Did you see many snakes while there? Were you given restriction by your sponsors on subjects and dangers not to be mentioned?
I didn’t see any snakes, too bad, because I love them. And the tourist board had no control over my content. They wanted me to make them as I make any video. There were plenty of adults around, they’re just more reserved than the kids
Sad we do not have a collective responsibility to keep our own country clean.
