00:00Hello OG, I'm Levy and I'm Sarah and we are Levy and Sarah's Cycle.
00:07So in this episode of OG, we'll share you our story as bike tourists.
00:20Essentially, bike touring is going on your saddles, biking for pleasure, for fun, and for
00:27adventure. It's non-competitive in nature and you can go at your own pace, at your own time. So it
00:34can be biking for a day, biking for multiple days, or even biking for years if you want to do
00:40intercontinental riding or tour around the world.
00:57It was our 10th anniversary when we went to the farm. At first, we were addicted to biking.
01:04And that time, we thought, it's our anniversary, let's ride a different car.
01:10So we can relax and we won't be exhausted when we get to the farm. But two days before,
01:15we realized that I really want to ride a bike. I don't want to ride a car.
01:19We felt demotivated. It's just a typical vacation with a car.
01:25How exciting is it to ride a bike? That's what we were thinking.
01:29We're allowed to use our bikes around the farm. So while waiting for our room, that's what we'll do.
01:38We'll bike around.
01:39The farmers at San Benito were surprised because it was the first time we went there by bike.
01:44We were so excited. Usually, people are so fresh.
01:50When we were biking home, that's when we realized,
01:53let's do this more often. So that we can do it overnight.
02:01If we plan, it's up to us.
02:04How do we feel for our months of riding?
02:07Or if there's an invite, for example, someone will suggest.
02:09So we don't really have plans. Usually, we plan a week before.
02:16We also have plans within a month.
02:19Oh yeah, within a month. Because you have to train for that one.
02:23Especially if it's far. If it's too far.
02:25And we know that it can happen. Like DRT.
02:28That's where Dadid Bulacan's remedial center is. It's a different class.
02:31So we trained for a few weeks every day.
02:35Wow, darling. Eighteen. That's great.
02:40Usually, it's just the two of us.
02:43But there are times when you're looking for a friend or you want to meet new people.
02:48Yes, because he's getting tired of me.
02:51Because we go on like for 10 hours on the road.
02:54We need some entertainment.
02:58So it wouldn't harm that there are other people who will join our rides.
03:02When we went to Pampanga,
03:05Actually, when we went to Zambales, we passed by Pampanga.
03:09We were with a group from Pampanga.
03:12That's when we realized that we missed out on a lot of information
03:16about Pampanga.
03:18About the history.
03:20You learn a lot when you go on a ride with locals.
03:25It's like my memory was refreshed from the history.
03:29And they toured us around.
03:31So it's nice to be with people who know a lot about that place.
03:38You learn a lot.
03:40We will also have small trips there.
03:42Biking trips.
03:44We will ask the locals for hidden gems.
03:46If there's a good place to go.
03:48Usually, they bring us to places like rivers that no one goes to.
03:54Falls that no one goes to.
03:56That's our favorite thing about going to a place.
04:05Whenever we plan it out,
04:07We want to go there because we want to see it.
04:10And then whenever we get there,
04:13We unlock new spaces.
04:15We unlock new sub-destinations within that area, within that town.
04:21Any destination is a dream destination.
04:25We used to love going to places that cost 200 pesos.
04:29But we realized that it's really tiring.
04:33And after that, you can't enjoy it.
04:35Because your body aches.
04:37We realized that we don't enjoy our destination to its fullest potential.
04:43When we do one-shot rides.
04:45Lately, we divide it into 100, 100, and sometimes 50.
04:51So that we can enjoy the surroundings and have a fun ride.
04:55You'll be surprised.
04:57You'll get used to your load throughout the ride.
04:59At first, you'll be off-balance.
05:01Because you're not used to having bags in front of you.
05:03You have a bag at the back.
05:05And you carry heavy loads.
05:07But after the ride, we realized that your things are one with the bike.
05:11So your momentum, your pace, it's okay.
05:14Are you ready for the Peliliya Climb?
05:17I'm not sure.
05:19As women on bikes, we often get cat-called.
05:24Because the way we dress up, it's not the typical biker.
05:28We dress up like, what do we feel for that day?
05:31I just want to do sports.
05:33Or polo.
05:35Backless, why not?
05:37Especially for truck drivers,
05:39when we're being nagged,
05:41we get cat-called.
05:43It's a struggle for us,
05:45because it ruins the mood.
05:47The destination is beautiful,
05:49and you'll get a cat-call.
05:51In my case, it's the same.
05:53Cat-calling.
05:55But it's more about ruining the challenges.
05:59Like, usually flats.
06:01That's the common problem.
06:03Oh my God, Booyah, you're the best!
06:05I'm crying!
06:07For us, cycling is a stress reliever.
06:09From work,
06:11that's why we want to go on a bike tour.
06:13It's relaxing,
06:15because we get to feel
06:17what's around us.
06:19We're immersed with the environment.
06:21For me, more than the place or the destination,
06:23it's really connecting with the people
06:25who are in that community.
06:27For me, it's building that special connection
06:29with the people there.
06:31Because they'll be your friends for weeks.
06:33Especially for the couples
06:35who are willing to try bike touring,
06:37just go for it.
06:39You'll really enjoy it,
06:41and it will really strengthen your relationship.
06:43And for those who wanted to start cycling,
06:45buy a bike,
06:47even if it's cheap or expensive,
06:49as long as it's working well.
06:51Go for it,
06:53and I promise you'll really enjoy it.
06:55For me, yes,
06:57it's highly recommended to go on bike tours
06:59with your loved one.
07:01It's a great activity.
07:03And for me,
07:05I'm not an expert cyclist,
07:07because I learn at my own pace,
07:09and I hone my skills
07:11so that I can balance my partner.
07:13That's very essential in bike touring.
07:15The skill level should be the same
07:17when it comes to cycling.
