Can someone keep an eye on this guy (run across America)

Yes, to be fair, this was a browser error on my part. Thanks.

It's showing they are following Interstate 20 for me, no weird lines. Probably you need to close the tab in your browser and reopen, I hand rendering artifacts on the map after having it opened for a while.

I'm not a cyclist, so I have a question for those who are. Are flat tires really that common? It seems like Darren is having an unusually high number of them. Also, do cyclists randomly fall off of their bikes as often as Darren seems to do?

The number of flat tires you get depends on a number of things such as the age of your tires, what you ride over, and the air pressure you use.

For Kavinoky and Kyle, their tires are only a few weeks old (after they got new bikes) with a lot of tread on them from the recent pictures. Rain increases chances of flats due to road debris sticking more to the tires. But since they are using full on thick mountain bike tires instead of high pressure thin road bike tires, I have a very hard time believing that they got as many flats as they claimed.

No, people don't fall off that bike very often riding by themselves on roads unless you are very unskilled and do stupid cornering moves or riding parallel into steel drains or tracks. And since they are on full mountain bike tires and suspension, they have way more grip and stability than on a road bike.

not in my experience. external battery messes with battery level on trackers. sometimes gives reading of 0 percent or no battery plus do you really think any of these guys are smart enough to root a phone. lol

You don't need root to fake battery status on Android phones. You just need to download the Android SDK onto your laptop and run ADB.

And the porn guy they have onboard the RV taking all the pictures and videos would easily have the skills to do this since he has a lot of experience with computers and technical equipment from his porn days.

Thanks for the response.

It now appears that they left the interstate. From where they left the interstate there is now way that the RV could have exited there. Very strange.

I've wondered about the tracker being directly in the road and not on the shoulder. It seems accurate enough (most of the time) to get that right. When they were near Dallas they did some riding on a trail next to a road and it pinned it right on the trail, not the road.

I see that, too, near the interstate curve just outside of Texarkana! Looks like we have more evidence the tracker is in the RV again.

I've ridden on major highways before and the amount of road hazard is tremendous. These streets don't get swept and everything gets push to the shoulder (where I assume these guys are riding). It amazes me that they don't get more flats.

They are back on the interstate after a short jaunt on the side road.

So now they are flying. You guys are hilarious.

That phone strapped to the drone sure is coming in handy.

I don't see any issue with where they exited, it's a secondary road exit.

Now it looks like they dropped off Kyle and Kavinoky on the secondary road onto their bikes because they are riding through trees and bushes that are beside the road to get back alongside the interstate. Some real mountain biking?

You guys are the ones complaining to RDs that their course was too long since your GPS watch read 26.5 miles, aren't you.

Lol.

Kavinoky taking an early lunch when the day has barely began. It's a staged photo. He's wearing all the biking gear inside the RV eating soup when any normal cyclist would take their gloves and helmet off at least to make eating more comfortable.

On the tracker where Kavinoky went into the trees and then seemingly over the Red River where there is no bridge, there is in fact a new bridge being constructed there:

Shoot. I thought we had him busted.

Look at how he has 3 pretzel chips just standing up in his hummus. Its almost like this guy wants everythingg he does to look extremely staged! And lol all of his youtube vids have like 10 views

I went to google maps street view just ahead of where he is supposed to be on the live tracker. Neither bikes nor any RV drove by. Are we sure the tracker is indeed 'live' or could there be a delay?

Do you notice his body position and the blur in the RV window? That indicates the RV is definately moving. We got him busted.

Ha, very good, really showed them with that comment.

That "blur" is the bug screen in the window openings. Try to troll better.
