Crazyguyonabike.com Website
 
I have been trying to open this website for about a week but my browser gives up after several minutes and says the site is not responding. Anyone else having this problem?:crash:

Was he institutionalized?

Comes up fine for me.

Works fine for me. I have spent many hours on that site. It is a wonder site for history buffs and geography buffs.

Very interesting trip reports on that site. I remember one dude that rode from Alaska to Miami over three months. Good reading.

Works fine. Not to state the obvious, but have you tried clearing your browser history and cache?

I was going to write that it doesn't. Strictly speaking, true. Domain names are case-insensitive. The rest of the URL may be though, and should be considered case sensitive.

So crazyonabike.com should be case insensitive. I was able to get the the above site with different mixtures of caps and lower case.

But in "Traditional" Lightweight Touring vs Bikepacking, by Ed Devlin, the

/doc/?o=1mr&doc_id=13184&v=Eu

part could be case-sensitive and should be considered so. That said, I tried "eu" instead of "Eu", and it worked.

To the OP's issue: I was able to navigate to the site you mentioned. As suggested above, clear cache and history. Make sure your browser doesn't have any "helper" extensions or add-ons that are blocking or redirecting your browser.

Works fine for me. I’ve been following a couple that started in Alaska and are now about to cross into Peru. When they don’t post for a day or two I get worried. I guess I feel sort of protective. Great stories and insights all the way. Curtis and Jennifer Shaw.

I found the culprit to not being able to reach the website: OpenDNS servers. When I use their servers in my Asus router I can't get there but when I change to 9.9.9.9 and 8.8.8.8 I get to the website. My time in the desert has ended.
