    No job, a bike & a moka pot: Cycling Italy | 4K Film (2/5)



    This is part 2 of my 128-day cycling adventure around all 20 regions of Italy including the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.

    Part 1 covered the initial preparations and first 16 days in North-east Italy, ending with a broken derailleur hanger in the Dolomites.

    Join me in travelling around this beautiful country, spending time with family, learning Italian, and finding the area to one day buy and renovate a cabin in the mountains.

      Hi Richard, I've never cycled that part of the world, but have driven up and down the A22 many times. I've often observed cyclists on that very path you were on going from Brixen-Bolzano-Trento. Lovely content with some very familiar scenery. Makes me nostalgic to go back again.

      Oh wow! I have so much to say to you, on so many subjects!

      Firstly, I cycled around the complete coastline of Sardinia back in October and loved it. I used to live there 30 years ago for 3 years so was really looking forward to going back. There is a couple of videos on my channel about it.

      I've also cycled from Rome to Calabria in 2024 and 2025 but this year I'm cycling from the Brennero pass on the Austrian border down to Reggio Calabria. This will be my longest ever trip as I'm still fairly new to Bikepacking. It looks like you started in a similar area?

      I'm really looking forward to watching this video. Apart from our obvious shared love of Italy, I have also purchased black Ortlieb panniers and Rack-Pack bag which is totally flumaxing me as to how it safely attached but I'm sure once I've loaded them up it will all make sense!

      Really looking forward to this video.

      Thanks Richard, your 2 videos so far have been great! I love how you put so much detail into them including the maps etc. The look of the video is very professional. I'm look forward to the remainder of your adventure.

      Hey Man, I just started the 1st part yesterday. I knew I have to sub because that's how rich the content is. Seriously, 2nd part did not disappoint at all.

      Hope you get greater height in yt, so you can continue doing this

      The bit at 29:20 is in the province of my birth, Biella. The Serra (a moraine left by massive glaciers during the Ice Age) is a big old climb, and the road to Graglia is indeed a pain because of all the lorries getting water from the Lauretana spring. Allegedly it's one of the purest in Italy, or so they said when I was a kid. Now it's the purest in Europe. Give it time and it'll be the purest in the universe!

      Nice video, I'm enjoying it a lot, but, as a West Veneto guy the roads give me car-ptsd. Trentino-Altoadige aside, Italy is a 3d world country when on a bike.
