This video covers the 6-month stretch from Vancouver, Canada, to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where I covered roughly 6,000km and was joined by 10 people on the back seat. When watching this footage back, I’ve realised that the scope of these videos can result in them being a little unspecific in areas, leaving potential questions lingering in the minds of anyone watching. So if you’ve watched this video and are curious about some details that I may have brushed past, I’ve put a handful of questions and answers below. If there’s anything that you are curious about that is not mentioned below, feel free to put it in the comments, I read all of them. And most importantly, if you're at all tempted to join me on the bike for a stretch, then please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks so much for watching this, I hope you’ve enjoyed it. General Questions: Q: Is it possible for you to release videos more regularly? A: It is, but I’m sorry to say that will likely not happen. This is because there are three barriers in the way of more regular releases, and I don’t have much of a desire to push past any of them. They are… 1: Make the videos shorter: This is the most obvious solution, and while I may move in this direction in the future, I don’t foresee myself making anything less than 20 minutes long. 2: Reduce production quality: There are a lot of steps in the process that take an awful lot of time, like writing a script, finding good music I can legally use, and the most egregious, organising footage into an easily searchable structure. These are all things that I could do much faster, but I am certain that the reduction in quality would be far too severe. I do not earn any money from these videos, so they are made purely for myself, and I really want to keep them as good as I can, even if it means that progress is glacial. 3: Spend more time editing: The reason why this trip has a duration of approximately one and a half years is that it gets mighty cold in Southern Argentina for roughly 6 months of the year, so in order to not blow out the trip duration by missing my Summer window, I do need to keep my average daily distance above a certain mark, which means that I am in a constant tussle between the desire to spend more time making videos, and the need to keep up my southward progress. So I suppose just know that I am doing as much work on these as I can, while trying to keep to the (rough) timeline of 18 months. Q: How do I find people to ride with me? A: At the time of writing, I’ve had 20 people join me. Of those 20, roughly half have found me, while the other half I have found. For the people that have found me, they have come from all over. Some have found my videos online, some have seen a news article, and some have seen this posted about in other places online, such as Facebook and Reddit. (Unfortunately I haven’t yet had anyone who’s just spotted me on the street, but I am hopeful that will happen one day) As for the people that I have found, that has all been from the same wonderful source, which is the website of WarmShowers. It’s a hosting website that connects cyclists to people who wish to host them, and one of its most useful features is being able to see the exact locations of upcoming hosts. So once every week or two I will send out a deluge of emails to hosts that are roughly on my upcoming route, and once every so often, someone says yes. Episode Specific Questions: Q: How did Global News in Vancouver find me, and come to meet me at the train station? A: While in Vancouver I stayed with a couple named Keith and Shelley. Shortly after meeting Keith, he contacted Global News regarding my project, and the following day, I was contacted by the news. They were really interested in filming me meeting Chris for the first time at the Train Station, which was a little difficult, as I had no idea what Chris looked like before meeting him, so I was of little help to the cameraman is spotting him as he disembarked the train. I distinctly remember the cameraman querying me on this point, and understanding my sincerity when I told him that ā€œChris could be aged 20 or 70. I really have no ideaā€. Q: 4 flat tires in 2 days is likely due to the same cause. Are you sure you just were not just misdiagnosing the issue? A: They certainly were all due to the same cause, which was that the sidewall of the tire had split open in one section, exposing the wire bead to the tube. This exposed wire bead was rubbing on the tube, and causing the flats. I found this after the first flat, and thought that I fixed it by covering the exposed section with a $1 bill, however each time it reoccured I thought that I had adequately protected it, only for it to reoccur. When the tire exploded, it was because the split sidewall finally gave out. JJJreact
