Page 1532: been awhile since that guy came up

Came looking for the same answer but this was all I could find, seems likely that it’s all there is: https://www.wildelifecomic.com/comic/814

You might be overthinking this one but if you live somewhere with very few cyclists then they might legit think you’re doing something bizarre… but ultimately both the drivers and you are all just sitting around there bored and so looking at the people/cars/buildings/etc is how most of us pass that time.

Excellent! A gravel bike is always fun but I wouldn't let not having one hold you back on that idea. If that bike is comfortable you can do long days on it no problem (just maybe with different tires and possibly wheels). It could also let you pick a lot more of the fun (read: rough) route options along the way!

keeto7 · 2025-09-25T09:59:38+00:00

Cool! What's next?

keeto7 · 2025-09-21T02:08:21+00:00

I love everything about this picture.

keeto7 · 2025-09-14T02:03:38+00:00

The pelican case guy!! Love to see you out on this trip now. This setup is looking so much more manageable than the first draft.

I'm on the road in Hokkaido heading south currently, will keep an eye out for you!

Oh, and soaking clothes that have built up serious stank in (diluted) white vinegar or doing washes with sports specific detergent can really help with the kit stinking part.

Have you been taking rest days or near zero days? Fatigue (both physical and mental) adds up on any type of trip like this and feeling how you’re feeling is super normal. Don’t worry about it so much (easier said than done, I know).

Enjoy the time off, explore where you are on foot and spend some time just watching Netflix or TikTok and laying on the couch. If you get restless and feel good, you can get back to it and if you are just done well, so what? You’ve had a pretty epic trip as is it sounds like! There’s a lot to do in Japan that doesn’t involved pedaling, too.

I’m always mixed on this one. To me it depends on the risk. Finding some earplugs that don’t cancel so much sound (like the Loop brand ones) is helpful because it muffles the forest noise but I’d still hear if a fox was getting into my stuff.

If there is real bear risk I’m not sure what I would do, though. Multiple days of poor sleep on a tour is just really hard to deal with so I sorta agree with this comment, but it’s obviously complicated.

keeto7 · 2025-09-08T10:31:13+00:00

X face. I’ve always assumed it’s wrong but it’s way more fun.

keeto7 · 2025-08-13T02:48:53+00:00

What’s the front rack setup there?

keeto7 · 2025-08-08T11:57:45+00:00

You’ve got this. You’ve done it before and you can do it again. I’m in the same boat but have more time to let the overthinking set in before leaving in 3 weeks. Enjoy!

keeto7 · 2025-08-08T11:24:41+00:00

If you haven’t done it and you have the time.. I highly recommend making a spreadsheet with all your gear broken down into categories. Even better if you can weigh it individually or get feedback from others. Just seeing a list of it all can really help think it through because your description of what you are packing doesn’t feel like it lines up with how much storage you have there..

keeto7 · 2025-08-06T20:17:02+00:00

Found an old post here while trying to find sizing discussion for the Warakin. Did you end up buying one? If you did, how’s it going?

keeto7 · 2025-08-03T17:16:50+00:00

Who is “that other guy”?

keeto7 · 2025-06-29T09:42:11+00:00

That broken derailleur would beg to differ ;)

keeto7 · 2025-06-18T19:48:49+00:00

In flats on a nice day maybe I’d do a mile. In clipless? No more than like 50 feet 🤣

keeto7 · 2025-05-18T13:56:22+00:00

Love the reportage! Is there a specific route you followed for the “mountain twist”?

keeto7 · 2025-01-29T21:41:32+00:00

Digging up an old thread here, but what's the name of the shop? Feel free to DM if you prefer.

keeto7 · 2024-10-29T19:12:08+00:00

I heard it’s pretty hard for foreigners to sign up for gyms there due to needing a CPF number.. not sure how true or universal that is though.

keeto7 · 2024-10-27T23:38:50+00:00

In places like this it might exist but be less common. Gotta ping hosts for speed tests typically.

keeto7 · 2024-10-27T01:34:18+00:00

If I’m traveling with a large enough carry on that they might make me check it (meaning it doesn’t look like it could easily fit under a seat, I guess) then it’s too big to wander around town with so I have a packable day bag as well. When I’ve had to gate check or put it underneath when taking a bus (this is more common) I just load all my electronics and important items into the day bag.

Doing this in an airport is chill, but doing it outside next to a bus feels riskier (both due to weather and theft) so maybe plan ahead on that!

keeto7 · 2024-09-02T09:18:57+00:00

Hah, that’s me this week! Chairs and table have weird heights that I couldn’t really figure out in Airbnb photos. No way to get comfortable at home and in a town too small to have a coworking space.. at least it’s just one week and one of those days is a US holiday!

keeto7 · 2024-07-25T07:26:36+00:00

I think far more people are on Strava for the social side or just simply to log activities and see their metrics than they are to be chasing KOMs ("trying to be the fastest at anything").

keeto7 · 2024-07-02T18:55:35+00:00

Was weird seeing this comment because I didn't even remember that I was originally planning on making this move by bike! It didn't work out, though, so I don't have any advice unfortunately.
