Asking Strangers to Ride a Tandem Bike With Me - The Random Tandem Ep. 2

I continue riding my tandem bicycle southwards, through Alaska and Canada, trying to find partners for the back seat.

If you're in any way tempted to join me for a stretch in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Next episode should be out sometime in January!

This is gonna be one of the most legendary YouTube series ever

The stolen food gives me anxiety - that's my worst nightmare while touring!

Cameron, you're a great storyteller as well as an adventureer. Compelling viewing.

Subscriber 277 here. Greatly enjoyed your 2 episodes so far and am looking forward to all of them. Husband and I drove to the Yukon and Alaska in August this year and were surprised to see the many lone cyclists braving the secluded, steep and often potholed highways. Safe travels!

This is amazing Cam! I didn't think you could top the first episode, but you did!

[joecorrea]

So awesome! Safe travels Cameron, and thanks for sharing!

This is really good, man. I don't even bike tour, but I "do stuff." I choked up when you took time to pay tribute to your friend, Hugh. Any time I climb a mountain and check the summit register, I seem to find some remembrance of someone's loved one that passed away. It always gets me straight in the heart because you know what it's like to share those miles or those experiences with someone and it makes us think of the people we miss.

I chickened out of that same Clinton-Pavillion shortcut on my first tour from Calgary to Vancouver. Still need to go back and give that segment a go. The descent into Lillooet through the Fraser canyon is one of the most spectacular roads in Canada. The climb out to Pemberton is just as steep though! Rolling down the 99 and over the Lion’s Gate bridge is a spectacular milestone in any bike tour, no matter how far you still need to go. Wish I’d found you sooner, Id’ve loved to come out and help you up some of those nasty BC passes! If you ever find yourself back here, I can heartily recommend the run up Vancouver Island, followed by the ferry to Rupert and Haida Gwaii.

I can see you've gone through quite a bit of pain to bring us some enjoyment. Keep it up!!

This is great, I watched Ed Pratt's Unicycle journey around the world recently and this is giving me similar vibes. Also your tribute to Hugh was very moving.

Super interesting and fun to watch your travel adventure videos. Can't wait to see more! Take care my friend. Un fuerte abrazo.

[loudoret]

Your video just does something with me, it stirs up so much emotions. Right now I'm 28 years old and never had a big adventure I went on. Other things seem to have priority in order to get settled for in the future seem to get in the way; Get a good education and diploma, find suitable housing during a housing crisis here in the Netherlands, working on the side to survive off a student budget, not much wriggle room to do something.
Was planning on being done when I was 24, but changed studies and had jobs in between. Now here I am, 28, still grinding but with the end in sight: I'm graduating in June 2023 and have a fairly big chance to find proper housing.
I hope to finally be able to get on a proper adventure before I get a house. I have been longing for one, for actually seeing something of the world. On the way encounter hardships, to let the unexpected just be. I have an obsession with planning stuff out and being prepared for everything that could happen, minimizing risks and uncomfortableness.
I hope an adventure, like jumping on a bike with just a finish line will let me learn that it'll be okay and to just enjoy the moment. Learn to enjoy the moment, and not focus on the next big thing that will improve your future life, at the cost of your current life. You're only young once.

It's sad that you're on the other side of the world, and your ride will come to an end once I finally graduate, but I'd love to hop on that bike with you.

thnx and good luck.
