In Episode 2 of my journey from England to India, I bikepack 600km across Europe — from London to luxembourg — with nothing but my bike, my gear and a tarp.
This week was filled with wild camping, long climbs, unexpected nights in houses and random companionship.

If you haven't subscribed then please do, it really helps smaller channels like this and he'll be able to monetise these videos.
This is great content mate! Keep going, rooting for ya 😀
You look a bit like Remco evenepoel, same facial features
My father was in Europe in ww2 and he loved Belgium . He said the Belgium people were so kind and wonderful.
Traveling, camping and filming without a power bank?🤔 bro😂
Just came across your channel. Loving this cycling series and seeing people allowing you into their homes. Looking forward to seeing your journey ahead. Good luck mate.
How many names have you collect so far?
Wow subscribers have shot up since last week! Gonna have big stick companies reaching out with sponsorship deals soon. Knocking on someone’s door and getting a bed is ballsy, paid off though ahah. Great ep.
Fair play the french for taking in a weary traveller 👍🇬🇧
when did you leave?
ruben your french is cracking me up
I read the title wrong, thought it was a trip from Ld to Lux and you were making a detour to India x)
Great vid! What bike equipment and spares did you bring?
Ah it's online already, why didn't it show on my homepage.. 🙌
lol …..problem nowadays In the UK and Europe is you don´t know if you are getting chatted up or people are just friendly and curious…… ..@3.38…lol
Ride safe🙌🙌🙌
can't wait for eps 3.😶🌫
No way would I have slept so close to the edge of a chalk cliff 😮 Stay safe young man. Ok… safe ish then ✨ It’s a shame you don’t have longer to look around the cities, but I get it, and I love to see the places you wild camp. Good to get an update on your travels 👍🏼 EDIT: didn’t realise this was the end of this trip… great to know there are good and hospitable people out there.
Why would someone want to go to India?
Okay Bro, subscribed from Malaysia, please get a bike computer, IGPSPORT 200 is quite affordable.
I do like a nice bush
Such wonderful kind people who let you stay! A great episode 👏 😅
That video was amazing! Keep going and making content!
Who knew I had an aero beer belly?
Fantastic project, and pretty well edited. OK, I'm embarking on your adventure 👍
Awesome journey so far, thanks for sharing 🚴🏻👍🏻
This trip is epic bro! Good luck in the next part of your trip & good luck Sam too!
I just want to wish that wonderful people all the best! They accepted you like you're their cousin!
loving this trip – following for more wild camps, home stays and good food – that bbq looked epic !
Really great to watch, can't wait to see more of your ride 🙌
Awesome! Good job 👍
Love the videos man, subbed after the first episode dropped! You have such a genuine and authentic character, I’m not surprised all those people have been letting you in. I’m bike packing through france atm and was wondering, did you find that couch surfing host on an app?
Idk how this doesn't have more views. Keep it up!
That crazy downhill on the bike path next to the motorway at 1:08 is on my daily commute into London! Hate the noise and being next to the motorway but beats wasting money on the train and gives me a bit of headspace.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Subscribed after watching you cycle to Amsterdam and that video inspired me to cycle to Brussels from Gravesend this summer. Two non-cyclist friends are joining me so cheers for inspiring our adventure.
Enjoying these, good work Ruben, loving the house crashing, wish you luck on your journey.
New sub here. Love your content!
I was waiting for the second episode, keep safe and enjoy your ride
Some of us will appreciate just how well this if filmed and edited. Nice one.
I like your style young man. This will be epic.
Do they not allow cyclists in the chunnel? Or was it too expensive? "I have never been so excited to see a bush again..' 🤣😝
I do love the humanity in this video; how someone can love and respect you when they've literally only just met you. Amazing 🥰🥰
I laughed out loud at : The cows are sitting down! Great stuff! Thoroughly entertained by your videos when I should be writing my school reports haha! (Cycling teacher here, enthralled by your epic adventures)
What bike are you on? Bought new? If not what year is it? You should make a video detailing your gear.
How old are you?
What's your budget for UK to India? It's obviously much much much cheaper to fly there. Food costs alone will be crazy. It'll cost over £15,000 to get 3500-4000 calories in daily plus all other costs and unforeseen costs. Likely it'll cost close to £30,000 to bike to India.
Also show all customisation's and explain each one in detail and tell us how much each one cost
RL. Excellent stuff geez man I wouldn't of slept that close on the cliff no way.Am with you all the way I keep your videos to watch special on Sunday mornings even tho you post on Saturdays.Follow the red line can't be any simpler nice one it's all new to me as never been threw Dover.
Wow that was a result that lovely lady giving you towels and a bed plus a shower you jammy little bugger you.I'm enjoying this journey you have got more courage than me asking blind like that.Good luck and God bless.from Simon Norwich UK
Amazing ! I'm ready to see your adventure !
Need to get yourself a Garmin.
