Bike vs. Jungle. I Try to Ride My Folding Bike Around the Entire Island.

08.21.2025. See the trails, jungles, and Beaches of Isla Colón.

While Alex is traveling, I embarked on a few solo adventures.

Last weekend, I set out to ride my bike around the jungle of Isla Colón in Bocas del Toro. On the map, the roads follow the coast but end on each side of Mimitimbi wilderness. However, I've heard there is a way to connect. I am going to find it.

My bike is a folding Dahon, with rust in places where rust should not be. It is not the best suited bike for the tough dirt roads and trails of the island. Will it make the tour?

I take care of our bikes, but I still lose the battle to rust. Salt ions, humidity, and galvanic corrosion win overtime. But the bike served me well so far. I am going to trust it. Watch the episode to see if the trust was misplaced.
