July/August 2025. The story of a two month bike touring / bike travel journey through the natural beauty of Scandinavia. 4068km, mostly cruising lesser known itineraries throughout Norway and Sweden instead of chasing the classic touristic highlights. All the same filled with inspiring on the road adventures, magnificent sceneries, and interesting talks with various people who have crossed my path. Dream away and let yourself be inspired to get on your bike too… First leg of the journey: Göteborg, Sweden (Gothenburg) to Trondheim, Norway. Second leg: Trondheim via Mo-i-Rana to Jokkmokk, Sweden. Third leg: Jokkmokk to Göteborg.
Being old school I still use the good old panniers instead of going ‘bikepacking’… for now…

Inspirational, entertaining. Another wonderful adventure. 👍
I have watched many of your videos and it feels inspiring to see you again, touring. You made me put Sweden in my touring list. Cheers
Amazing and inspiring!
Looks a lot like northern parts of my country, Canada.
Oh I so thoroughly enjoyed that! Thank you!
I love how happy you guys look and sound at 1:05. Beautiful. The happiness is pouring out of your video and lifting my spirit! Thank you!
So good to see you on the road again. Such tranquility in you travels ❤
What a beautiful route. In 2017, I was 67 and rode from Aachen, DE to Trondheim and back. From Gothenburg I took a very similar route to the one you took. Very sparsely populated, but absolutely beautiful.
What a fantastic view on this country. 👍👍👍
Great video, and what a great journey, and so many nice people, really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing with us!
I love this channel. It healed me. Many thanks
That would be a beautiful place to visit
Splendid
What a beautiful film that was, and what a wonderful journey you had – I actually feel quite emotional after watching it! I am a fellow cycle touring addict who fell in love with travelling solo by bike when my partner (who has always hated travelling) decided to no longer go on holidays with me – I had to find something I could do alone, and cycling ended up being perfect. Sometimes I can get a little lonely, but the trips are made much more fun by the small interactions you have with lovely people along the way – and that experience is even greater in The Netherlands and Belgium thanks to Vrienden op de Fiets. I have had some truly wonderful experiences staying with hosts in those countries, and have even made some lifelong friends after meeting people who I truly clicked with – the time spent with them always ends up being the most memorable parts of the trips.
Anyway, dank je wel for creating such a lovely video for us all to enjoy, and all the best for your future adventures. You are clearly a really good guy and I hope our paths cross one day on the road! 🙂
Thank you for this inspiring video!
Grate video, grate inspiration! Thank you!
Interesting video with lovely interactions with people, well done! I like Scandinavia, especially Norway. I was there for some trekking trips. Now I'm cylcling like you, mostly in Switzerland. I'm now 64 and I hope I can do this some years more. If I could do this until 80 like the Lady yoe met, that would be great.
Kind regards – and keep coing on!
Vor 3 Jahren fing ich an kurze ( 600km) Radreisen zu unternehmen .
Dieses Jahr im Mai ging ich mit 66 in Rente und wagte ein Abenteuer von Göteborg durch Schweden ans Nordkapp zu radeln.
Das erlebte und die Begegnungen mit anderen Menschen war unbeschreiblich schön.
Eddy , du bist mein Vorbild. Du hast mich insptiriert und ermuntert lange Radreisen zu wagen!!
Tja und die Renate mit ihren 80 bestärkt mich weiter zu machen.
Die Vildnis App ist super.
Dankeschön für das teilen deiner wundervollen Reportagen .

Thank you for this beautiful film. I hope you continue to struggle with your addiction for many years to come! 😂 And give us many more films…..
Beautiful journey, a great knitting companion and migrane friendly. ❤👌🚵♂🏞
Lucky you. My dream… From Australia.
Mooie reis. Dank je wel voor het delen. Een rustpunt in de hectiek ❤
Thank you once again Eddy, for taking us along with you on another wonderful journey.
I biked from Holland to the North Cape a long time ago and I don't recall having any fun doing it, except for the great view when I arrived… But at least you seem to have fun 🙂
Wow! Prachtige beelden van de natuur, en het gevoel van vrijheid. Een heel leuke en mooie film.
Lovely. I enjoyed it! But got a heavy, getting old feeling about it. Even the music. Don't forget, getting old is a privilege, denyed to many! My sister in law just die of cancer a month ago. She was only 51! Let's enjoy the moment, is all we got! And to travel and see new places! Respect!
In love with Scandinavia, especially Norway, and your wonderful videos. Once a year is better than nothing. Until the next one, greetings from Italy.
Thanks for the video. Interesting reportage. Good trip. Best regards😊
Thanks, another great video. Taking your time and enjoying it all.
Hi Eddie! Long time..so nice to see you have a great youtube channel..hope all is good with you. Much Love from Ariel
Great Videos. You really can tell a story. If you ever come to Australia you are invited to stay at our place in Brisbane . I might even come for a Ride with you, Martin
Mooie film, mooie reis. Wat wil je nog meer. Chapeau!
Many thanks, it inspired me a lot! A gift see it in this moment of my life. Happy new year!!!
The soundtrack is so relaxing, thanks! I just received a guitar and hope to be able to play like that some day…
