Wanna see what it's like cycle touring, then check out this video!
Good day to you !
It is a great adventure touring video !
Awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Have a nice day !
Thanks bro! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is hilarious about your stay at the temple!
It’s funny to look back on it now, but I was just destroyed mentally! Mind blowing how some of these people can even sleep. Never seen such pride in the the aspiring young gurus eyes when he said we start praying at 2:30am and go until 630am…excuse me did you say 230 lol? Such a bizarre country in general!
This is one of those places that’s looks so interesting to see but only on videos, vicariously through your camera! One of those places I decided long ago not to cycle tour because there’s not such a thing as personal space and it’s too loud, extremely chaotic! My social anxiety won’t tolerate it! Thank you for sharing Andy.
You’re more than welcome! India challenged me both physically and mentally, but mainly mentally! I can definitely say I grew as a person but I don’t think it’s for everyone! So I’m happy you are able to live vicariously through me!
U have a good sense of humor.. Excellent work. Thank you..
Thank you for the nice words! And thanks for watching the video!
For me, you are a great new perspective on world touring. ..thanks!!
Thank you so much for the compliment! Just showing what I go through as a cyclist on an every day basis!
Gurudwaras are a hit and miss. Food is free but bland. it's better to camp,hotel or dharamshala they are pretty cheap generally speaking if you are traveling through rural india people will offer food and accommodation in india. I hope you enjoyed our country i certainly enjoyed this video.
You are spot on with your words! Cycling alone I was having difficulties but teaming up with another cyclist really enhanced my experience. India is one of the few countries where I felt comfortable cycling into a village towards evening knowing someone would help me out and take me in or find a place for me. That kind of hospitality is hard to find!
I cycled there one year ago... I feel this climate. Greetings from the road!
Thanks bro! Maybe catch up to you one of these days...
@@plantpoweredcyclist7978 I am currently in Indonesia Yogyakarta but the border with Timor and Australia is closed. And where you are?
@@4yearsonabike I'm in Shillong, India in the northeast. Everything is closed still, but state borders will reopen in a week or so. However, if you cross a state border you have to self quarantine for 2 weeks haha. So still stuck until maybe international flights open back up.
@@plantpoweredcyclist7978 I cycled 4 months around India and have good memories only. Good luck
glad to see your getting on well!
Cheers bro!
Which bike brand did you use.
I have a Surly Long Haul Trucker!
Love you Andy
Right. back at you bro!
What time of the year were you in New Dehli?
It was in early to mid December I believe in 2019
7:01 Did you decide about the proposal and to settle in India? 😊
Haha you know it was a nail biter but I decided to keep moving on...always breaking hearts ;)
@@plantpoweredcyclist7978 Andy, I am amazed at your endurance, stamina, and patience while cycling such long distances in many difficult and tough terrains and often in difficult circumstances which many could ever do in their wildest dreams, you truly are a hero!!! Stay safe and be healthy in your future travels.
I don't make films, but it must be difficult and time consuming to choose the right music while editing.
We can tell ..lol
Haha let's just say when you're not paying for music, your options are a bit tighter!
Indians are friendly and curious, esp. seeing a foreigner cycling through their country, so they stare, but really mean no harm. On the other hand, you should have said yes to the gal...go back. lol
They are definitely curious sometimes a bit on the creepy side though haha...She was a cutie, ay?
@@plantpoweredcyclist7978 you could have been the next Raja of Rajastan. Lol.
@@wcronin7307 I’ll have to go back once covid settles down and claim my kingdom ;)
did this in 1995
How big of a tour did you do?
Wow you only come up with negative information about sikh temples , why you are unable to appreciate that sikh temples been giving you free stay and free food for as long as you wanted to stay .
Totally agree. In the west, these bums would not be given this amount of love and hospitality shown and yet they are so negative. He's a freeloader who goes out buying expensive equipment but can't buy a single meal or pay for a decent roof over his head. Freeloaders are this way.
Shitty roads bend my rims and glass puncture my tyres, not a good place to ride a cycle
You are always complaining. So ungrateful
Sorry you took it that way...Just sharing my thoughts and feelings on a daily basis...it's not always 100% positive, but I try to do my best
@@plantpoweredcyclist7978 I beg to differ from Ahsan - I thought you came across as very respectful and optimistic, whilst being honest. Having lived in Delhi, I know many of the frustrations. And as a fellow bike tourer, I thought you were a great ambassador for cyclists - nicely done my friend.
@@stuartgee7973 Thanks bro appreciate the compliment and support! I could only imagine the struggles and culture shock living in Delhi but I think all places have their bright and positive sides that one perhaps never encounters on a short journey especially when it’s spent hiding mainly in doors getting a break from everything like mine! Did you tour India as well?
