    1. Chat to the locals. Get croissants and coffee. Don't wear underwear. No thanks. I'm avoiding any and all contact with people and if I do stop I'm going to get a big freaking sub and a soda.

    2. Today I did my first 8 km on .y new road bike that I bought for 390.00 my bike weighs in at 22lbs. Its awesome so far loving it but sucks going alone

    3. "one hour of daily exercise" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL i still cant believe people let the government dictate how they live their lives. absolute insanity.

    4. Being re-watching all these maintenance and tips videos. Coming back to cycling and felt like croaking right then and there. Going from road to all-road, carbon to aluminium, 700x25c to a 650x45B, I was promised a more relaxed ride…
      Felt like I could not put any power down, just pain, fortunate enough to only getting a leg cramp when I arrived home, not out there on the road 🤣

    5. Are you supposed to stop pedaling while shifting gears? Once the chain broke and I broke the derailer last time I was shifting while pedaling, but when I dont pedal and shift sometimes the chain slips. What am I doing wrong?

    6. Does cost of a road bike matter? Eurobike and Giodano makes rather inexpensive entry level road bikes. Please tell me what you think.

    7. I'm more nervous now than I was before watching the video haha 😅 road side maintenance 😹 I can't even change a light bulb 💡 also nervous about if the chain comes off would be a nightmare 😞 looking into getting a push bike though as selling my car 🚗 due to it not being economically viable anymore 😢 would take me 30 mins to cycle to work according to Google maps 😂 a lot quicker than getting buses there 😮 cycling looks way harder than I thought 🤔

    8. My advice to the beginer: Nomatter which kind of bike you bought, and no matter how mach you cost on the bike, begin your ride. Never be the one who has bought a bike but never rided.

    9. I've been riding for decades, but haven't gotten my first "road bike" yet. < That's in quotes because none of them have been serious ones with the 100 psi tires, lack of a kickstand and so on.

      I want one and to join my local club, but am a bit intimidated at becoming "serious."

    10. Just got my first real bike and have gone 10+ miles in both of the last 2 days. Amazing time riding around Rochester NY. From buffalo where there's lots of good riding but not like this !!
