Travel Tales: The Story of the Greek Bicycle

And they got married, and lived happily ever after.

You should go to Amnesia Coffeeshop on Herengracht 🙂

Ah you have a great excuse to go back to the Greek islands again in the near future!

Well worth the support – all the Ebooks were great reads – and Gab really puts out amazing content – lots of hard work and planning goes into what he is doing – I will be making my 3rd random PayPal to Gab – Because I appreciate his entrepreneurial spirit 😄👍🏽

Great story!

You gotta name that bike dude. For arguments sake, let's just call her Shirley.

That's a good story with a nice twist at the end. I was expecting it to end with the bike being stolen, but instead you made a new friend in Greece. Awesome.

Hey, can I use your bike if I visit Greek island?

Gabe – I'm welling up, son……:-) PS – thanks for taking us along – a lot of good info – Amargos f.ex. Never heard of it before and it looked stunning – already pulling me in – unfortunately your bike is too small for me……:-)

So Gabe. I have always found it really interesting when ppl are compelled to give you advice, but then – once in a (great) while some advice has actually been rather good. Since I am in sales, I would like to make a suggest (and hope you find it worth you time to read). I suggest that you email your friend who is keeping the bike and ask her to SELL the bike and the two of you can split the profit, which would be fair. Explain to her the worth of the bike and what is feasible to ASK for the bike and then the minimum she should take. It is very possible she may need to move before you return to Greece and it is even more possible her entire life will change dramatically and the bike will be worthless to her (to move around with her and/or keep with her) and thus you. Selling it now can benefit both of you in the present. For her end of it, the effort she puts forth to sell it would be well worth perhaps 70 euro, even less would be a profit for her and you would at least break even or glean something. Since she works at a restaurant, why not lock it to the side and place a For Sale sign on it. Then tourist will see it as well as locals (if she puts it in a Craigslist type ad).

This story reminds me of a time in the US. My friend and I were at a trade show in Orlando. At the end we had a huge flat screen TV and it was pointless to send home. So my friend (it's his business) said OK let's store this thing in one of these pay monthly storage sheds. All was looking good until they said they need to see a US passport to store it. Fu#k! Taxi driver says no worries I have one obviously and it can go under my name. Kind guy! Although a few weeks later my friend found someone to buy it and was arranging it all. TV was gone, search of the taxi driver revealed police mug shots from previous offences by this taxi driver. This guy just didn't care even using is real ID. I'm NOT saying that's what's going to happen to the bike and I believe 9 out of 10 times people will genuinely be kind. But you can see the similarities of the situation. This story will end when you go back to Greece. Could be a super happy ending of kindness! Or, you will be told some story about what happened to the bike. We want to know one day!

Hey, love the vids you make. One question, how do you afford all of these trips? Are they sponsored or did you save up? Lastly if you're still in Amsterdam can you visit the red-light district at night? Thanks and keep up the great vids!

Hey man, I really love how honest and authentic and "on the ground" your videos feel. I'd love it if you'd do some trips to more out of the way locations — like in Africa or Asia. (Your early India videos were great.) And your stories about Egypt were awesome.

Nice story. Sounds like you gained some karma. 🙂

Hi Gabriel, is there any chance that you can rent me your bike in Athens? Thx

"do my thing"

fucking love it

Many bikes sold in the monastiraki area of Athens are stolen bikes.
