 These are my good friends Dominic and Dana, and together we're going to ride bikes around Western Cuba. Before we jump into this, I want to give you some background on these friends of mine. Dominic is a talented filmmaker, storyteller, photographer, but he's also ridden his bike all over the world, and he once rode a tandem bike from Alaska to South America, picking people up along the way. You might recognize Dana because she's been in a lot of my videos. She's a super strong athlete. We once rode bikes together to Burning Man a thousand miles through the desert. The love and we got the kindness. She is one of the most kind and loving and generous and non-judgemental and just beautiful human beings I have ever met. Okay, now you know Dominic and Dana. Let's do this. I had such an amazing time last time I was in Cuba. It's one of the best places I've ever ridden a bicycle. You know what I'm doing right now? I am loving life. And I'm excited to bring friends back this time. It's not just me. I get to share the adventure. How are you feeling this morning? I'm feeling a little discombobulated, but I think I'm going to get out of it. Yeah, I'm going to get re-combobulated. Oh, I'm excited that we're all here together, guys. We're going to try it. On this very short flight, I'm going to read this book because I have not planned our route yet. Seriously, I don't really know where we're going. We're going to the western side, Vignales, Pinar de Río, something like that. But this is the least organized I've ever been for a bike trip. But I like it that way. Steps off the airplane. Goodbye, thank you. The hour is late. I had a friend picking me up. The same guy that I gave the bike to at the end of my last bike trip. He's a gym teacher, a runner. And although I only talked to him for a few minutes, I know that he'll put this bike to good use. We'll see if he's really here. Gracias, amigo. Oh, miren, los zapatos tan bonitos. Yeah. Our buddy has arranged a place for us to stay. We're down here in downtown Havana, right next to the ocean, actually. Hola, amigo. ¿Qué tal? Mucho gusto. Ah, sí, bueno, qué bueno. We got situated in our room. It's cozy cozy. Now we're off to the workshop, the bike shop, where we're going to get the bikes all ready for our big bike tour. It is time to rent the bicycles. We're at Velocuba, which is an awesome bike shop. From what I can tell, it's run by all women. I have been chatting with them online. They said they have three bikes for us. We're going to rent them. We're going to rock at them. We're going to rattle over this island, the western part. And I'm really excited to be supporting a local bike shop. You know, I thought about bringing the bike, but, you know, traveling with a bike is a pain in the butt. And this way we get to make new friends. So when I was chatting with the woman, she said they had saddlebags for us. When we get here, they're like, no, we don't have saddlebags. So we have a bit of problem solving to do right now, because we have stuff to carry. And not really much way to carry it. I brought it with me. It's really nice. I like it a lot. I've been doing it for a long time. It's very healthy. And above all, I avoid public transportation, which is very expensive. And well, I save money. I earn in health. And I feel really good riding bicycles. We have stuff to carry and not really much way to carry it. I brought a few green guru bags, but definitely not enough to carry all of our stuff. All right, these are going to be key, Dom. Yeah, Bungie, I consider myself somewhat of an expert using these to affix every piece of paraphernalia to the bicycle. So I think we'll be good. You brought your own seat. I brought my own seat. So leaving the city is probably going to be the biggest challenge. We're going to try and get ourselves a paper map. But I think beyond directions, breathing in the sheer volume of carbon monoxide that comes out of these classic cars is going to mean we're more likely to fall asleep than actually aggressively crash into anything. What? Oh, my God. Are you kidding? Look at that one. Gracias, gracias, gracias. Gracias. We got our bikes. We are ready to rock and roll. I'm psyched. I'm psyched. I feel so much better when I have two wheels to travel on. OK, this is by far the most minimal I've ever done a bike tour. We have two pairs of socks. I'm going to have two shirts, helmet, giant wad of money, which is really only $300. Shaver, deodorant, sunscreen, selfie stick, camera batteries, tube, patch kit, pump, passport, memory cards, IB profan, water bottle, flip flops. And it's all going in here, and here, and here. I'm going to put it into this orange bag and I'm going to strap it there. I can kind of make it rain, but I don't want to do no. If I make it rain, it's going to go out the window. What are you doing, Dom? A bit of trial and error. Just want to make sure that my camera bag doesn't get run over by a classic car. I'm getting closer, finding a spot for everything. Of course, this is very important. I already made my own bike bag. I take this, and I put it into this, and it's waterproof, and that is my canary. And where's it going to go? It's going to go right here. And I already tried the bungee. That works. I'm really excited to debut this new cycling outfit from my buddy, Matt, Co-Nation Collective. Check them out. Look at this. This thing right here matches right here. This is all made in the USA. And these buttons, these pearl snaps right here are vintage 70s Levi's buttons. Because when you ride your bike, you want to look cool. I don't know if I look cool, but at least I feel cool. All right, so we're pretty much done packing. Evening is upon us. We're going to go to sleep because we didn't sleep last night. We're going to wake up, ride our bikes. You ready? I'm ready. I'm so ready. Ready to ride my bike. See you in the morning.
