FULL DISCLOSURE: Bicycle touring does not guarantee euphoric states as depicted in this video. Results not typical. Do not embark on a long bicycle ride across continents if you are not willing to accept suffering and hardship including but not limited to: bad weather leaving shoes, socks, and gloves soaking wet with no option but to wear them again the next morning; mood swings driven by intense and most likely insatiable hunger; extended hike-a-bike sections that will probably not be done with a smile; and occasional bouts of overwhelming joy when descending after a long climb. Individual suffering may vary... ;)
