Cycing in Tuscany (Florence) will mean you have to be ready to ride the GRAVEL!! This was un prepared and un expected but so cool to ride the true ”strade bianche”.

Nice
First
Can't beat a good old-fashioned "Rim brake" rental bike ๐ค๐ป you have a hidden talent in singing ๐๐๐ and with you being such a cool human being, I'll forgive you for having an iPhone ๐คช
What bike shop did you rent from? Going back to Florence next Spring.
vraagje jasp rij je nu altijd super leuk op al die verschillende bikes ik kan me ni inbeelden dat het altijd leuk is op sommige bikes maar top videos
I have a mouse case for phone . It kicks ass. I like it a lot better then the otter that I used to use. They have lots of cool mounts but I don't use a mount for anything so…
Had me smiling all through that video. Music was ๐๐ป๐ I felt the joy ๐คฉ
Mate, white socks black shoes, really๐ฅ๐คฆโโ๐จโ๐ญ It should be a criminal offence! But as per usual great film๐
Florence By Bike is awesome – Lovely people, super friendly. For 18 months they were my go-to bike shop in Florence. Totally recommend.
Fantastic Time you are having!
"Jasper, we need you to work the Newcastle and Amsterdam flights, but unfortunately Florence as well. I know it's kind of last minute hectic. Can you make it?"
"Florence? Hmm, uh yeah…No worries, I think I'll be able to manage that. Any layover though?"
"Yes, unfortunately we can't get you right back. But really appreciate it, if you…"
"Sure. No worries, just a day or two. I'll figure it out…"
Do you have the course on strava? I'm going to florence this summer.
Jasper, get the Giro to pass thru your route and you will have brand new roads to bike next time. ๐
I can see you went through Panzano and I spotted Cecchini butcher shop! You should have stop for a steak ๐ฅฉ
Tuscany looks like the absolute dream. A live postcard. Iโm using the obvious QuadLock and it never let me down. Uses a bit more space because you have to rotate the phone when you take it off.
Whatโs the law concerning bike packing in the Netherlands? Can you put up your tent where you want like in France?
what about Giant TCR frame? is really KOM? how you feeling?
Two years ago. Nice tour planned from Gaiole in Chianti to Siena. Big accident outside Siena and had to take an alternative routing which sent us on short cutting through the wineries with a little less nice Strade Bianche and up to 18% gradient (and nice big stones). I was happy to have at least a 28 mm tire and disc brakes…. But at the end, we loved it and could celebrate on a nice Bistecca and a nice bottle of wine.
Flor-ahnce, Flor-enceโฆwhatever ๐
Thanks for another great video!
SP mounts and Komoot on the phone for Navigation both top. Keep up the good work, like your videos ๐
Mama mia ! Tuscany e Bella ๐ฎ๐น
1:44 IM-BA-RAZ-ZAN-TE. LOL
Dream ride for me. Thanks for taking us along!
Perfect video! Speaking of training for mountains in flattish terrain – how do you actually train descending? I see it as a harder think to replicate in flat terrain for the training
5 years ago we would have complained about shitty Italian unpaved roads. Somehow that has turned around 180 degrees and we are now meant to rejoice when the asphalt turns to crap and we are on a road bike with 25mm tyres. How did that happen???
I use the Cadence app on iPhone. It's awesome! Like a powerful edge 1000+. Also, I wish I knew about that case/mount before. I'm using the Spigen Gear Lock.
How much did they charge you for a bike rental?
I actually bought an dedicated cycling head unit for navigation purposes, because I had a similar phone mount but navigation on phone using GPX was/is a headache. Strava doesn't have it at least. The free GPX-reading apps are funky and I was too greedy to check out the paid ones. However, I think Komoot also offers navigation on the phone but never looked back when I got a proper head unit with navigation and rerouting built in. I have the Wahoo Bolt V2, the version that replaced the current you have I see. The new Bolt has actual navigation (instead of breadcrumb trail on Bolt V1), can reroute you when off-track and it is actually very good at this. It makes good decisions and tries to keep your route flowing, in contrast to Garmin which makes you do U-turns all the time.
I use Komoot to navigate and my mount is the Quadlock. Love both ๐ค๐ป
boring
Cool video Jasper tks
Tuscany is a super cool place to ride bikes!
I went on the pro race Strade Bianche course in 2022 to get the Brevetto and it was one of the most amazing things I did cycling! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axRISysYFY0 ๐
Do you still remember like me all the vibrations I got on that bumpy gravel? Imagine doing that in the rain and wind ๐คฃ
