bike travel

While on a work trip to Cologne, Germany, we managed one day of sightseeing on a couple rental bikes. Afterwards, we visited the Brompton bike shop and test road another folding bike that’s not yet available in Canada.

Starting from the Jacques Cartier bridge, we biked a loop of Montreal via La Piste de la Riveraine on the South Shore, the St. Lawrence Seaway dyke, and the Ice Bridge! An amazing ride thanks to the wonderful cycling infrastructure in Montreal.

Day 2 on Le ’tit Train du Nord includes an unwelcome detour! Ste-Agathe -> Ste-Adèle -> St-Jérôme

We didn’t get around to making videos right after our trip to Hawaii, but 2+ years into this pandemic, international travel is still not advised and we’ve got time to kill at home. Hence, a video making blitz of Hawaii!

Due to the pandemic, we haven’t been able to travel abroad for 2 years, so instead we made a video of a previous bike tour in Mexico!

Here are 7 Tips for a successful bikepacking trip through The Yucatan, Mexico.

We rated the cities we cycled through in The Yucatan, Mexico based on sights to see, affordability, food and accommodations.

As we cycled closer to the more touristy area of the Yucatan Peninsula (the east coast), the roads became bigger and busier. We couldn’t take quiet state roads anymore; it was time to hit the highway!

After walking around Izamal to see the Convento and the Kinich-Kakmó pyramid, we cycled the scenic route to Chichen Itzá… which dead-ended at a goat path with actual goats.

We left Merida for Izamal and took a scenic detour to the Aké ruins – which turned out to be one of the best and worst parts of this ride!
