Bikepacking Korea’s east coast

- A bicycle adventure to the east coast of Korea. A luxurious bus ride (isn’t that an oxymoron?) with my bike in the luggage compartment. A beautiful pine forest lined beach with a clean bowl club of Makguksu.
The much anticipated Rivendell Atlantis bike check! I forgot to mention the Nitto Big Back Rack and the Nitto Front S Racks.
Some amazing bikes lanes along the coast before I headed inland for some step climbs and some wild camping. Beans on toast for dinner and a coffee outside for the morning pick me up.
A lot of people ask which camera I use for the riding shots. It’s an Insta 360 go 3:

Buddy you are really crushing these. Loving them so much. Keep up up and also don't burn out!
Thanks! The filming part is easy because I ride my bike every day. The editing takes time but I’m enjoying it!
This is the most uphyped, natural, as it is, under equipped TH-cam channel I’ve seen. AMAZING!
Wow, thank you!
*me finishing the video* "clean video club"
Yes! You reached the bonus Clean Bowl Club reserved for those who watch the whole video. Thanks for watching.
liked before even watching the video! I can already tell this is gonna be grand.
Same here!
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it.
After watching a lot of your videos I've noticed that what draws me in every time is the feeling of a friend narrating all the video footage they captured in a week/month of their lives; A compilation of things they found interesting. Your editing process creates a viewing/listening experience that can be described as simultaneously simple, calming, and fulfilling. Your artistic decisions in journaling and video production is a breath of fresh air when compared to other media that saturates their video footage with touristy music or forced storytelling plots. I've learned and appreciated a lot from your videos, about bikes, South Korea, and video making
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot!
You're so cool and chill. This video is so therapeutic man, very peaceful
I never thought this would be the description I’d receive the most when I started making these videos but I’m happy with it. Thank you!
I always rewatch these videos later the same day, they're just so soothing and unique
That’s amazing. Thanks for watching twice!
As an American I feel like I'm getting a taste of English and Korean culture. All wrapped up in the form of bike rides. I love it!
That’s so cool to hear. Thank you.
한국을 방문해주셔서 감사합니다. 4~5월 한국은 자전거 타기에 아주 좋은 날씨지요. 자전거가 예쁘네요.
감사합니다. 7년 동안 한국에서 살았어요.
@@probablyriding 😂😂😂😂😂
Sophisticated Korean food, classy bike, smooth tunes, baked beans on toast for dinner 😂
An eclectic mix
Been going through some of your older vids. This one is definitely in my top 3. Thank you sharing these! Please keep them coming
Glad you're enjoying them! More to come.
Your aesthetics and delivery are top shelf. I always feel like your journeys are my journeys. I too am a Riv rider.
Awesome! Thank you!
So relaxing! And you left me putting Baked Beans on the List for the next Trip. Thanks for sharing!
Perfect camping food!
There is something very cozy about your content. I can't wait for more.
Thanks!
Always nice to see a country from the perspective of a cycling trip. FYI in the nineties I worked for an ad agency in San Francisco and I created the Waterford catalogs for Richard Schwinn. We also did some work for Bridgestone and Panaracer.
Nice!
Your videos have become my Saturday morning routine. I enjoy them with my first cup of coffee before heading out for a bike ride. Your videos are beautiful and I love the narrations.
Love that!
Thank you so much for creating these gems.
Glad you like them!
love the video, makes me smile when your washing machine chimes at around 4:30
Did you check your laundry?
My new favorite TH-cam channel
Thank you!
17:35 sure nobody can’t take England out of you! 😂😂
big thanks from NZ. It’s interesting to see Korea in your perspective. Best videos to watch at the campsite after finishing a ride.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you
Thanks for the great content. I have enjoyed it all. 👍.
Awesome, thank you!
Love your content, interesting, calming, great scenery and great bike(s)
Glad you enjoy it!
Best time spent watching, thank you. Plan to up my outdoor coffee game as your example.
Fantastic! One of my favourite things to do.
Thanks again great video, love your Rivendell too, stay safe and well.
Thanks 👍
What a fantastic adventure! I enjoyed your overnighter and the journey to get to your campsite!
Thanks so much!
fantastic trip! the style of your vids always hit the spot for me.
Thanks!
Another awesome edition mate! 👍
Thanks again!
I’m enjoying your content more and more. I love that you manage to show such enthusiasm for your gear and experiences without geeking out on all the minute details and turning into a “wannabe bike journo”.
You really appreciate quality in everything and share your pleasure with us.
Much appreciated
Thanks.
I appreciate that! The main thing for me is having fun while riding bikes. Them being pretty with quality parts that can I work on myself, just makes me enjoy even more.
I agree 100%.
Been in Korea less than a year and just finished Busan to Seoul which was epic. Excited to check out the East coast trail next so this popping up for me was perfect timing. Also, I'm a James Hoffman Aeropress follower too - perfect cup every time! I hear quilts instead of a sleeping bag is the way to go. Better bang for your buck, more comfortable, and lighter. New to touring so I have some upgrades I need to make to my bike before I upgrade gear! Excited to see more of your videos.
I’ve been in kore for ages and have don’t loads of tours but still not Seoul Busan. One day before I leave, whenever that is. Lots of people recommended a quilt. Thanks!
this video was awesome thanks for filming your experience❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always an enjoyable experience ❤
Thanks so much!
I understand your appreciation for the Atlantis. I have a 58 that I bought new in 2003. Fabulous bike. Been all over on it & it's been perfect for traveling & everyday riding.
Right on! I bet it’s a beautiful bike. Is that a Toyo made one with 26inch wheels? They’re so nice.
@@probablyriding Mine is Toyo but the 58 & larger came with 700c wheels. The 56 & smaller had 26. We found a 47 for my wife & it has 26. I think the Waterford hit the sweet spot with the slightly longer wheelbase & 650b. They are rare indeed. I rode one a few years back & it had a subtlety better ride. I noticed it but the guys at Riv just mumbled about "revised geometry " without specifics. Waterford couldn't make the chainstays as long as Grant wanted was one reason they moved production to Taiwan. My Atlantis has been such a faithful & reliable companion that I'll never part with it.
Thanks for the info. Atlantises are for sure forever bikes. I love the geo of mine with the 650b wheels. I have the Clem with the super long chainstays already so it’s nice to have the slightly shorter Atlantis. The lugs are beautiful too.
Thank you very much! Really enjoy every videos
Happy to hear that!
That descent was soooooo good! 🚴✨💞
⛰️
Another incredible video. Love the breakdown of your bike.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful bike! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are making me so happy! I don't ride bicycles myself, but you're making me want to :)
I'm so glad! That’s my aim.
Another wonderful video. They never fail to put me in a better mood.
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you!
Your videos and your voice are so relaxing and pleasant. Thankyou! Looking forward to more and more of these! 🙌
Thank you!
Awesome video again. Really enjoyed the laid-back and relaxing vibe. Wholesome! Thanks for taking us along your rides and showing us your gear! Very interesting for a "gear head" like me. ;-) I loved the random appearing 'Weihenstephan' beer sign at 13:06, I recommend tasting thier beers. That with the Bayern Munich - Arsenal match. There are two references to Bavaria. Cheers and greetings from Munich in Bavaria! Ben
Danke schön!
I love the vibe and aesthetic of your videos! Beautiful soul bike rides. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that!
Another glorious video.
Thank you kindly!
Really enjoying this video. I hope to stay in Korea for a few months next year, and this makes me even more excited. Thank you!
Thanks! Have fun!
The quality of these videos is subscription worthy. And the vision, creativity, and production is 🤯. I can tell you take a ton of pride in your work. This channel deserves all of the love it gets and then some. Much love from Fresno, CA!
That is some amazing praise. Thank you so much. I appreciate it!

Thank you!
Just recently found your channel - really enjoy watching your daily/weekly adventures. You have such a calming energy and so do your vids. Thank you for sharing your life with us! :-)
Thank you so much!
Love your window into the Korean countryside and culture. Great bike, great coffee and great content. Thanks
Thank you very much!
Loved the video , thoroughly enjoyed. That bus service is outstanding.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your videos! I have a “new to me” 90s specialized hardrock frame and my summer project is to rebuild it so it’s like your Rivendell! Functional but also with a cool looking form.
Those Hardrocks are some great bikes. Perfect for some swept back bars and a few small updates. Enjoy!
Very peaceful bike vlog. I like it.
Glad you liked it
Loving your adventures mate. Keep em coming
Thanks, will do!
Another fantastic watch. Always thought aeropress to be a faff, admittedly never used one in favour of a standard stove top pot when camping.
I think it’s easier than pour over, at least.
What NB are you riding in?
610
the road to Seoraksan is an especially beautiful ride up from the beach.
Indeed.
Wow! The descending ride the end of your video felt like a dream... Excellent video and camera work. Your narration is a joy. Thanks for the wonderfully detailed bike check, too. Your Atlantis is a real beauty! Cheers!
Thanks so much!
I was randomly recommended one of your videos about a week ago and you have a new fan! I’m inspired to build a new bike like your atlantis 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I hope you get to build a sweet bike!
Thank you so much for sharing your trips with the world. You're the Rick Stein of Bikepacking.
Wow, thanks! I’ll have to start a fish and chips empire over here then.
Mate. That bike is stunning!! Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
영상도 목소리도 편안해서 계속 보게 되네요~
좋게 봐주셔서 감사해요!

perfect video with your voice and great music choice as always. wonderful director! - from random visitor and now subscriber who likes bike
Wow, thank you!
I’ve cycle trekked every prefecture in Japan but one. Seeing your clips, I want trek Korea.
Korea is pretty sweet for cycling.
Even looking at it is healing.
Thanks
That is a seriously sweet bike.
I still can’t believe it’s mine
Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing this adventure! Made me want to go biking in Korea. Excited for the rest of your content 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
New to the channel I love this kind of content. Your inspiring me to build my dream bike I like the style of the bikes you ride. More power ✊✊✊
Welcome aboard!
just dropped in to this video by a chance, and you mate is enjoying east coast better than i am lol! I lived in east coast when i was a kid, and i recognize all the sightings. Was so happy to see a fine Englishman of culture(I also really like the James Hoffman's method haha.) enjoying so much. Great vid and keep up the wonderful work.
Thanks!
Simple pleasures.
Indeed
Just found your channel, big fan!!!
Great style too man, I'd love an I.D on the New Balances... those are stunning.
Thanks! New Balance 610.
A lovely long video to start my Friday, cup of coffee in hand. Your videos are such a comforting space and only get better with every upload. Absolute quality, thanks for your content 👏🏻
Oh thank you!
Love the hitch bicycle club! I’ll be there on the 3rd and biking the rest of my grand slam!
Awesome 👍🏻
17:00 what a beautiful place to stay over 😍
It was delightful
Yay! I absolutely adore this channel.
I use a Sea to Summit Etherlite 30F degree sleeping bag, it’s super light and warm.
Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻
I lived in Dong-Hay on the east coast near where you filmed this for a few months in 2001. Loved it. Such friendly and trustworthy people. I am really enjoying your videos and the rivendell is epic
I love the east coast. Thank for watching!
What a beautiful bicycle you’ve got!
Thanks!
Like the bit of history in this video :)
Thank you. I’ll leave the rest to people more knowledgeable than me about it!
Addicted to this channel now!
Thank you!
Never too early for a corn dog! Gah these get better and better. Keep up the incredible work!
Thanks! Will do!
I could listen to this man talk all day 😌

wow what a beautiful video :) stay safe! have fun in korea!
Thank you! 😃
즐거운여행 되시길
바라고
행운을빕니다 😊
감사합니다
Love the bike, the Paul components is quality stuff
Yeah, Paul stuff is the best
Another amazing video!
Thanks again!
Favourite channel!
Thanks!
The handle bar really feels like riding a Harley, cool !
👍🏻
nice!🚴♀
Thanks!
love
❤️
I was also watching arsenal and Bayern. But at 3pm. Different kind of football fan abroad ha! Awesome vid!
On match days, I miss the time I lived right next to Arsenal Stadium. 5 minutes from my sofa to my seat!
I just found your channel, watched 3 videos and immediately subscribed. As others have said your voice and manner is so chill and soothing. As a side sleeper and someone who tosses and turns I switched to a down quilt three years ago and will never use a bag again. You need a good insulated air mattress to make it work. The Hammock Gear brand is fantastic and about 25% cheaper then Enlightened Equipment. I own both and would go Hammock Gear.
Quilts seem to be the consensus so far. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!
I use an Enlightened equipment quilt for bike camping. It's really small but warm
Nice. Thanks for the recommendation.
Peaceful vibe, I
Thank you, I’ll keep going 👍🏻
Great videos
Thanks!
Nice~~😮
🙏
와 멋지네요 한국을 방문해주셔서 감사합니다^^
