Omg i hope that sensah groupset wont fail with that much baggages.
Arm control…. Arm control. Hahaha
Cheers mates, have a great trip can’t wait to get daily updates be safe !!
Not cycling related but i remember my first time hiking with my seniors as junior classmen. One seniot put 1kgs monkey wrench on my bag, one of my friend got his bag loaded with 4 bricks, and the funniest one got his bag stuffed with pot for plants (ofc w/o the plant). What makes it the funniest is he didnt realize about the pot until day 3 of the hike, in the middle of nowhere
So, i feel you, Ben 🤣
Aren't we watching 2022 version of the 'new three stooges'?
Did Covid travel regulations become a factor in planning for your journey to and across Europe? Do you need to be vaccinated and or tested to be allowed on the ferry and across land borders through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Switzerland?? It's still so confusing to me about what one has to do to be allowed to travel out of the UK and across Europe.
Surely I'm not the only one noticing the pretty blonde in this video… #easteregg
Message for Ben get to the nearest post office and send the robot home!
The disbelief in Ben's face! I can't wait for the next episode boys!
And yes… a brick to the tailfin for each missed episode!
Sungod squad LETS GOOOOO
You’ve struck some good form here Francis.
What camera did you take?
Still endurance bike 🤣
What a Top Gear thing to do 😂😂😂
Love it!
The Dream Team…😅😅 have a save memorable trip fella's….grtz from Flanders…🍻.
Kabelsalat – love it.
Hellooo
“I spent an hour in my hallway taking t shirts out and weighing my bike” 😂
😍Ben!
Never knew an overnight on a ferry could be so fun! Thanks for the laughs, hope we get to see the robot shoot some missiles with its arm control!
Have a great time, Francis! Love these vlogs 😃
Ok. So it’s top gear. On bikes.
Dfds king or princess ?? This is the ferry I am on most weeks travelling across to ijmuiden & then on to Europe in the big 14 wheeler 🚛🚚🏴🏴🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴🏴🏴 stay safe lads :-)👏🏻👏🏻
nice!!!!
Kudos for the German reference. Big love 🇩🇪
Ben’s face on receiving his gift, priceless
Great start guys. Introduced my wife to the channel and she is hooked! Best regards Martin
Hello! Does anyone know what bike is he using and with wich brand of packs? Im interested in a new bike to do those kind of travels 🙂 thanks a lot
‘I spent an hour in my hallway taking T-shirts out my bag’ amazing fair play to him
A video a day! Bro, that’s crazy. And I am here for it 😁
Always so jealous of your bike packing trips. Ben's face was priceless…. " I spent an hour in the hallway, taking out T-shirts and weighing my bike" HAHAHA
“I spent an hour in my hallway taking t-shirts out” 😂😂😂
Oh my goodness this is probably the best opening episode to a new trip!! So stoked, esp. when you went all cinemascope.
So glad you are using the Sensah 12 speed, hardly any reviews on it. Mine has just arrived for my Giant Cadex 980c resto mod, it looks and feels really nice in front of me……….big miles for the Sensah over a short time will be great to see.
Great video quality. Quite impressive for three guys ridding and recording at the same time.
Kabelsalat🙌🏻
This was hugely entertaining! 😂
Did Ben really think boats go underwater?
why would he film his face when talking about the setup?
Tubeless tyres. Brave or stupid?
Oh cool the setup
Hey mate, got a question about taking the bikes into the ferry…
How are the bikes taken/locked/strapped?
Is there a proper bike park area? Places to put the bikes like stands or those things that hold the bikes upright by inserting the wheels in?
Do the bikes touch themselves with chance of scratching the frame/paintjob?
Or the bikes go one against each other?
Do you have any photo or footage about it? I just wanted to know if a bike would be ok and without knocks, scuffs or scratches when taking it to a ferry.
Thanks!
That's 10kg more then my bikepacking-setup. I wonder what do you take that makes it soo heavy?
2:43 How about pointing the camera at the bike instead of your face?
My Thorn is 18 kgs unloaded 🙂
What width tires were you guys riding on?
Thanks
I have a bike I want to sell in Switzerland but I don’t know to to sell it
