Beau Miles, an Australian documentarian, recently made an entertaining video about his journey to his new job as host of Red Bull TV. In “I Cycled for 48 Hours to Get to Work,” viewers see much more than just a bike ride. Watch it here…

Beau Miles is an Australian documentarian and filmmaker known for his outdoor-themed videos that interweave unique stories and compelling narratives. In his latest video, I Cycled for 48 Hours to Get to Work, he documents his journey to a small town in the French Alps to interview world-class kayaker Nouria Newman as a host for Red Bull TV. He lands in Geneva, Switzerland, where he sets himself the rules: arrive in her town under his own power within 48 hours with a budget of €100, including the cost of the bike.

Though the title and styling of the video lean into viral, clickbait-y language, like most of Beau’s videos, the underlying message and production value are well worth a watch. Despite never directly mentioning it, Beau is essentially on a bikepacking trip. One that highlights how little you really need to do so, and the simplicity and importance of why we travel by bike in the first place. From making “breadbull” out of flour and Red Bull at his makeshift campsite to accidentally meeting the father of the person he intends to interview, it’s a really well-made video that is funny, insightful, and a joy to watch.
