YOU WON’T BELIEVE These Roadblocks in Panama! – EP.373
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows OnHerBike back on mainland Panama, where a strike across the Bocas del Toro region has left roads blocked. The story centres on negotiating those obstacles during a solo motorcycle journey, with the rider reflecting that a motorcycle is well suited to this kind of disruption.
About this film
Part of the Central America series, this film continues an overland journey that began when OnHerBike left Australia in April 2017 for a solo trip around the world. The series title, “Are We There Yet,” reflects that the final destination and duration were not set. Here, the journey returns to mainland Panama and encounters another set of roadblocks: the Bocas del Toro region is still on strike, making blocked roads the episode’s central travel problem. Rather than presenting a general account of Panama, the film is focused on the practical challenge of continuing through a region where normal passage is disrupted.
The journey
The available description does not specify the exact route, the number or locations of the roadblocks, or how each obstruction is handled. It does establish the broad progression: the rider is back on Panama’s mainland and must navigate more blocked roads while the regional strike continues. That makes this a travel-led episode shaped by changing access rather than by a stated sightseeing itinerary. The motorcycle is central to the account; the rider explicitly presents it as an effective way to deal with the roadblocks. No particular riding conditions, detours, encounters or final outcome are described, so the film’s appeal lies in following the journey through this interruption without assuming how it is resolved.
People, places and moments
The location named in the description is the Bocas del Toro region, within the wider setting of mainland Panama. The strike is the key context for understanding why the ride is difficult: roads are blocked, and the rider faces the task of finding a way through. This is a solo motorcycle journey, part of a much longer trip around the world on a BMW F800GS, as identified in the creator’s background information. The description does not provide further detail about local people or specific places along the route. Viewers can expect a concise, story-led account of travel disruption in Panama, rather than a route guide or a broad regional portrait.
What to expect
- A solo motorcycle journey back on mainland Panama
- Blocked roads amid an ongoing strike in the Bocas del Toro region
- A travel episode focused on navigating disruption by motorcycle
