Hey friends! I’m thinking of filming a little Q&A video while I’m out on my upcoming bike trip. If you have any questions about bikepacking, gear, video creation, life in general - let me know!

Hey friends,
In December of 2024 I had to say goodbye to my sweet baby, Cheesecake. I was lucky enough to get to share life with this adorable angel for 10 years.
I plan to return to video-making when I’m ready. But at the moment the grief is still sitting rather heavy so I’m going to take it easy and return when I'm able.
Thank you so much for your support over this past year while I spent more time at home with my babes during her time of need. I am so grateful for every moment I got to spend with her.
Looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you when the time is right.
Much love,
Sheelagh

I had an absolute blast bikepacking on my $50 second-hand bike! If you haven't seen those videos yet, you can watch the video where I was so anxious I almost didn't go on this trip 😅, here:

And the eventual wonderful adventure, here:

After 5 years of bike touring and working in the cycling industry, it was a real joy to be reminded of the beautiful adventures that can be had with whatever gear we can get our hands on.
I also have Director's Commentaries for both of these videos up on Patreon where I share more about the route and behind-the-scenes moments. Support on Patreon helps make my videos possible :)

I'm in the process of thinking up video ideas for the coming months. So if you have any types of videos/questions/gear reviews/subjects you would like to see, let me know!
Wishing you all a great week ahead!

I have some updates for you lovely friends!
1) First off, if you haven't already seen, I have a new video up on YouTube with the 5 most important lessons I've learned in the last 5 years of bike touring:
https://youtu.be/csZUdQZnyZE?si=PvMBL...
I would also recommend taking a peek at the comments on that video because I'm absolutely loving seeing what others have found to be their most important bike touring lessons. Please feel free to leave yours as well!
2) I just a released a new public video over on Patreon with an update about my recent family trip to Iceland and some thoughts about bike touring there:

My little Patreon community means so much to me and I've been thinking a lot lately about how I can make it more helpful and accessible. So I've added a new $2/month tier (all tiers get the same benefits) and I'm excited about a new Director's Commentary series I'll be debuting there next week. Support on Patreon helps me to continue making free bike touring videos for all.
Thanks for being here and see you in the next one,
Sheelagh

If you’re dreaming of heading out but have questions about bikes, bags, gear, planning routes, budget, safety, or travelling internationally… this workshop is for you.
Use code EARLYBIRD25 for 25% OFF until midnight tonight, April 2nd.

NEW VIDEOS! My Ortlieb and Vaude panniers have served me well over the years, but after experiencing bike touring with both — there's one I wouldn't get again. I break down the pros and cons of Ortlieb's Back Roller Classic 40L and Vaude's Aqua Back Plus 51L in today's video:

NEW VIDEO ON PATREON: I went to a nude spa in Berlin!

There are some stories/experiences/opinions that I don't always feel quite ready to share on a platform as big as Youtube, but I think I'd like to begin sharing them with my little Patreon community. If you're interested in supporting the channel and hearing more bike touring thoughts and experiences, you can join my Patreon for as little as $5 USD/month. And that money goes right back into creating videos for you here on Youtube. If you aren't able or interested in joining Patreon, that's okay, I'll have another Youtube video out for you here next week!

What are your beginner bike touring questions? I’m making a video answering common beginner bike touring questions and I would love to answer yours! If you’re newer to bike touring, let me know any questions that have been on your mind. Or if you’re a seasoned pro, did you have any questions at the start you wish you’d known the answers to sooner? Let me know here!

On our way to a 10-day outdoor adventure! Buuuut… this one doesn’t involve bikes 😱 If you’re interested in following along, I’ll be sharing over on Instagram:

Or if you want to stick with the bike content, I just put up a new video! It’s my long-term review of the Ortlieb 4.1L Fork Pack which you can check out here:

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

Hey friends! I’m thinking about putting together a 1-hour webinar that I plan to fill with information to help make planning your dream bicycle adventures easier. There would be a charge for this as I’ll be putting a lot of time into creating it, but I would strive to keep that cost as reasonable as possible (I’m thinking around $20USD)
My question to you is, would you be interested in attending a webinar like this, and if so, which topic interests you the most. (Please also feel free to share a topic idea you are more interested in or the questions you would like answered in such a webinar below - I welcome all feedback!) Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
