Disappointing visit in Yellowstone

Mother Nature, what the hell have they done to you? They've made a parking lot out of the park. As cyclists we experienced hell rather than pleasure riding in Yellowstone. Car after car, RV after RV, and it was just second half of May. But what should I expect? If there is a…

Seattle

We spent a few days in Seattle. The most iconic attraction and icon of the city is the futuristic 184 meter high tower Space Needle. We rested on the lawn under the tower, which was the backdrop for the colorful amphitheater, where in 1991 Pearl Jam played their first album. The…

Beautiful Arizona

After leaving the South Rim of Grand Canyon we rode down to totally different world. Green pine forest was gone and it was getting more and more colorful and warm. Spring woke up all the beauty in this part of Arizona. We were amazed by spectacular plants that grow there. Warm…

Grand Canyon

Surreal or sculptured abyss... My vocabulary is too poor to describe Grand Canyon. This video and photos will show some of its greatness and beauty. We visited it on Easter in April 2017. We took road 64 from Williams and camped in national forest before we got the park. The next…

The Main Street of America

Route 66 was one of our favorite rides in California. We started in Barstow and finished in Needles. Sometimes we had to ride on her enemy road 40 because some parts of 66 were in terrible shape but before we got to Amboy we experienced the brand new road. In Amboy we stopped for…

Uphill downhill in San Francisco

The most beautiful city in United States so far. We were inspired by its architecture and hilly roads :) Sometimes it was so steep that I had to pedal verrry hard and it took my breath away. We didn't look look for tourists attractions, just rode along the bay admiring Golden…

In the footprints of The Doors

Bikers! You have to be careful and watch out for Edward Scissorhands. In LA we arrived about 9 am. We were very excited about biking in this famous town. Once we set up our bikes we hit the road. We went to Hollywood hills to see the panoramic view of town. It was awesome!!! Then…

Sequoias are one of the largest and oldest trees in the world. These massive trees can live over 3,000 years (when most trees are 300 years old) thanks to a chemical in the bark called tannin that helps protect them from rot and insects. Fibrous and thick bark protects them from…

One day of our bike trip

I had a little different view of bike travels. I thought that you cycle in the sunshine, birds sing, you find a nice place to camp etc. But it's not. When pedaling everyday, after some miles everything hurts, the sun burns your skin and mind, no birds songs, and there are many…

Manhattan in one day

Last year we thought Berlin is a crowdy city. It is nothing in compare to NYC. Every place in Manhattan is crowded. It takes long time to go a few miles, because you have to ride between cars. Look at map and youtube video! Map:
